If you take the 'SubGenius Logo' and remove the pipe,
you have a
psychick cross. The psychick cross is the symbol of
the Temple of
Psychick Youth, and is either owned by Genesis P. Orridge
or owned by
nobody, depending on who you believe. GPO is not a
member of TOPY
right now; he was either asked to leave or left on his
own, depending
on who you believe.
But more clearly defined than any of the above is this:
GPO or some
early member of TOPY invented the psychick cross, and
Jesus Christ of
the Church of the SubGenius re-invented it during the
first Amsterdam
Field Trip. But... where did the GPO/TOPY inspiration
come from?
The answer is seen here...

... the three-armed cross used as a symbol for 'poison'
on canisters
of Zyclon-B gas, the gas used to murder Jews, homosexuals,
intellectuals and other SubGeniuses during World War
II.

Then there're those of us who think GPO is a dingleberry

was added later by

Ah, if I may, I'd like to explain the cross further.
A few years back, at XDay, Jesus approached me with
the first of the silver
Dobbs cross medallions and tried to sell me one for
fifteen dollars.
I asked him the origin of the icon, to which he replied,
"You designed it,
Legume". I didn't remember designing it, but the
Lord filled in the blank
spots. It turns out I was doodling a Dobbshead to prove
I could draw one
from memory. I'd doodled it in the Lords Slack Crusades
diary. At the
time, my memory was a bit fuzzy on it because I was
probably all fropped to
hell when I did it.
I'd first drawn an oval for the head. I bisected it
vertically to line up
the center of the face. Then, I bisected it horizontally
to line up the
eyes. Halfway from the eyes to the chin, I drew another
horizontal line,
then another halfway down from that. I then drew a line
for the pipe from
that bottom line.
Check out
http://www.fortunecity.com/victorian/church/50/drawfaces/page4.html
and
you'll see what I'm talking about.
The bottom line: the icon was not at all derived from
any trendy
underground band, etc. It was derived from the simple
face drawing
technique I learned from reading John Buscema's "How
to Draw Comics the
Marvel Way" when I was a kid.
And finally, I said unto the Lord, "You got a lotta
damn gall to take a
symbol I created and then sell it without offering me
a cut. And even more
gall to try and sell it to ME."
So overcome by my words of truth was the Lord, that
he gave unto me a free
icon pendant with a suggested retail value of 15 dollars.
Then he went unto
the masses profiteering from my creation ever since.
And thus was the Dobbs Cross icon born unto the Earth
to be burned and peed
upon and of course emblazoned upon the fine quality
products that fill
those t-shirt-shaped holes in your lives.
Amen.

Thee funny thing about thiis is thaat (according to
Chas last
Thursday), "LEGUME invented the Dobbs Ikon Cross,
NOT Jesus"; although
I recall Jesus showing me thee barest essentials ov
the idea on a
napkin some time in 2000.
I can assure you thaat Jesus (or Legume, or God) came
up with thaat
design without having ever encountered thee rather obscure
TOPY stuff.
(*I* encounted TOPY back in the '80s but it didn't "grab"
me, indeed
what I saw, especially theEeEe spelling, seemed extremely
self-conscious and pretentious. I probably mentioned
them in High
Weirdness, but *I don't remember.* )
Thoose fucking crosses (sans Pipe ov course) have been
all over
Byzantine Christian artwork for a thousand years. Church
decoration in
Constantinople as well as Russian Orthodox churches
feature three
dicked crosses out thee kazoo.
The crosses thaat TOPY used az inspiration, and give
az examples, have
no relation tuu the Christian cross. The Dobbs Ikon
iz a direct and
very deliberate play onn tthee Christian cross. In m(y)
Orthodox
version, it iz also an exact match for theE proportions
ov "Bob's"
face.
Maybe w(e) should stop using the Dobbshead because some
straight
looking guy smoked a Pipe in theE years before w(e)
found that picture.
gENESIS p. oRRIDGE was initially going to be at this
year's Starwood,
but the idea was dropped. May have just been a scheduling
thing. I was
looking forward to meeting him and discussing this Ikon
"controversy."
Somehow I suspect that by now, he might take it all
about as seriously
as I do.

If I have been unclear, let me state once more that
I do not believe any
SubGenius who discovered the 'SubGenius Logo' saw it
previously in the
TOPY context.
I bring up the issue because Genesis P. Orridge has
felt the psychick
cross was his symbol to the point of legal action -
which he won. I
bring up the similarities because I wish to aid the
SubGenius Foundation
in avoiding lawsuits. It doesn't matter to me or Johnny
Law whether
there is a justified case, only that a lawyer has been
hired and money
begins to hemorage. I suggest sooner or later GPO will
notice the
'SubGenius Logo' and may consider it competition from
another mail order
mind control cult. Even after leaving / eviction from
TOPY, he won his
previous lawsuit against his own mail order mind control
cult.
I do not advocate uniform abandonment or uniform endorsement
of the
'SubGenius Logo' by the Church of the SubGenius. The
only rule I
advocate as uniformly appropriate is "Send One
Dollar."

I think that the fear of the Church of the SubGenius
being sued by Porridge
is a lot like that fear that you get when you're on
an airplane 1500 miles
from home and you suddenly wonder, "Did I leave
the oven on?" It's a
completely pointless fear because there's nothing you
can do about it in the
first place, and in the second place, of course you
didn't leave the oven
on! Why would you leave the oven on? You weren't even
cooking anything!
The SubGenius Ikon is so vastly different from the TOPY
cross that if Mr
Porridge were foolish enough to sue over it, he would
lose without a doubt.
I'm sure the Church's lawyer would be glad to get his
hands on such a case,
in the hopes of making a lucrative countersuit for harassment.
Not only are
the proportions of the lines different, but there are
two extra lines,
making the symbol AT LEAST 1/3 different from the TOPY
cross (without even
COUNTING the modemacian CIRCLE), not to mention the
fact that its
independent creation is well documented by original
sketches.
As for TOPY eventually "finding out" about
our symbol, I doubt that the
twenty or so members of TOPY will ever run across it,
or notice the slight
similarities if they did, as long as nobody writes any
inflammatory
articles, to be permanently archived on Google, stating
that they think
Jesus ripped off Porridge and stole his symbol.

As has been pointed out, the Dobbs Ikon is hardly the
only other
symbol out there that includes a three-tier cross in
it. Has GPO sued
anyone else for copyright violation on it, or only TOPY?
We don't
call it a "psychick cross," we call it the
Dobbs Ikon. And we don't
call ourselves TOPY, we call ourselves the Church of
the SubGenius.
I'd say it depends more on whether GPO is the type of
person who'll
sue you on the drop of a hat.

This is not true. I'm sorry to have to disagree with
you, Uncle Onan, but I
was THERE when Jesus invented the Ikon, and I swear
with complete sincerity
that he had absolutely no knowledge of the obscure "TOPY
cross". He had
never heard of the Temple of Psychick Youth at all,
in fact, until you told
him about it when you first saw the Ikon. Here is an
approximation of the
conversation that led to the forming of the Ikon:
Jesus: "We need a symbol, something other than
the Dobbshead, the kind of
thing that kids could easily spraypaint on a bridge
without our permission."
Magdalen: "Well... maybe you could simplify the Dobbhead somehow..."
Jesus: "Hmmm, yes, like the spherical heads that
comic book artists draw
before putting on facial features" (Jesus takes
out his "How to Draw Marvel
Comic Book Figures" book) "Hmm... it says
here you put a line down the
center to indicate the rounded plane of the face, then
you add a line where
the mouth and eyes go... but let's not make the lines
go all the way! Let's
measure the Dobbshead and have the lines be exactly
as wide as the actual
eyes and mouth of Dobbs! And let's do the nose the
same way! And of
course, add the pipe! There!! That's IT!! The new
DOBBS IKON is born!!"
Also, this did not take place at the Amsterdam Devival,
it took place either
before or afterward, because we were in the SubGenius
Office when it
happened, where we had a number of Sacred Dobbsheads
available for tracing.
Anyone can verify this story by superimposing the Ikon
over the face of
Dobbs. It is then easy to see that the lines do, in
fact, match perfectly
with the proportions of Dobbs's head. This also differs
in a significant
way from the "TOPY cross" in that that symbol
has its upper and lower
crossbars of equal length, and the distance between
crossbars is equal,
while the Dobbs Ikon's lower crossbar is smaller than
the upper one, just as
Dobbs's eyes are wider than his mouth, and the crossbars
are not equally
spaced, they are spaced in proportion to the features
of the Head.
I am so sorry that anyone would think the Mighty Church
of the SubGenius
would steal the symbol of such an obscure and frankly
unsuccessful group as
TOPY. That would be mean-spririted indeed! However,
there really are only
so many things that one can do with horizontal and vertical
lines, and it is
not surprising that some slight similarities may occur.

one time a buddy of mine had on one of the shirts I
had printed up a
long time ago with a great big smiling milky white fashion
model in a
black turtleneck cutting a huge flintstone steak with
a gigantic butcher
knife with a blood red background with "WE ARE
MEAT" printed at the top
of it. I had replaced her eyes with one giant blue one
and one small
green one and set them at jaunty angles and put a way
bigger smiling
toothy mouth turned upside down so it was like SNARLING
with gigantic
eyes hanging off the sides of her head. some hippie
walked up to us and
said "hey man, like, what does your shirt MEAN?"
and J jumps up in his
face and flips him off about 1/2" from his eyes
and hollers " IT MEANS
DON'T LOOK AT MY FUCKING SHIRT".
strangers pointing things out to you are actually pretty
cool when you
think about it.

Well, I'm not saying that Jesus made up that story just
to try to sell you a
pendant, and then panicked when you saw through the
logical flaws in that
idea, but alls I can say is that you must have subconsciously
planted the
seed in His mind for the Ikon because when He came up
with it He thought it
was all His own idea. Luckily, He too had a "Draw
the Marvel® Way" book,
and so was able to duplicate your original drawing experiment.
That must
have been what made Him later recall that you had in
fact already drawn it
earlier.
All of this should make for some great Holy Wars a thousand
years from now!
I hope that in that glorious day, a Marvellian faction
arises, because it is
clear from both these stories that there would never
have been an Ikon if
there had not been "Draw the Marvel® Way"
drawing books! And let the
warring factions of the future not forget MODEMAC, who
added the CIRCLE to
the outside of the cross!

Why wait? Let's crucify Legume right now and forget all about Jesus.

The circle was part of the original silver Icon pendant,
and I thought
it was always meant to be part of the Icon. Indeed,
the first posting
of the Icon to alt.binaries.slack, at 6:59 AM on July
5th 2000,
included a circle. I *like* the circle and I consider
it to be an
important part of the Icon, though the "actual"
Icon without the
circle is perfectly acceptable as well.
I've just re-posted the Icon-With-Circle to alt.binaries.slack,
so
that you can compare it to the Psychick Crosssss and
see that the two
are *exactly* alike.

The hole in my life is Connie fish shaped. And what
a damny fine hole
it is. AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH. Scuse me while I spend some
face-down
quality time in that there hole.

AND another thing! It is an IKON, not a "Logo".
AND if you "remove the
pipe" from DOBBS HIMSELF then he's just a GUY,
not a LIVING AVATAR OF SLACK,
so I think it's pretty fucking important that there
DOES just HAPPEN to be a
PIPE on our IKON.

such heresy!!!!
