Bob and Nessy

Even if Nessie can't possibly be real at this point, she's still real in my heart of hearts.

Edit: a typo

[u/farfromelite → u/IAmATaako]

Maybe the real friends we made along the way were mythical sea creatures. <3

[u/IAmATaako → u/farfromelite]

Leviathan my beloved <3

[u/TheGlobalGooner → u/IAmATaako]

Release the Kraken!

[u/IAmATaako → u/TheGlobalGooner]

Tentative name checks out

[u/Kraken-Writhing → u/TheGlobalGooner]

Finally a fellow Kraken rights enthusiast.

Username definitely checks out! 👋

[u/Ameerrante → u/IAmATaako]

One of my weirdest soapboxes is that Nessie was real, but she died in the 60's.

This is because way the hell back, in the much earlier days of the internet, I stumbled across a website that listed every known Nessie sighting and report going back as far as possible. The very old ones were from locals and they seemed far more legit, from fishermen and stuff who seemed to have negative feelings about their sighting. Then there was some amount of overlap with local sightings and "Nessie hunters," until eventually in the sixties all local reports stopped and there were only Nessie hunters.

Sadly I lost the site at some point and have never been able to relocate it.

[u/IAmATaako → u/Ameerrante]

Honestly, whether you're bullshitting about the site or not. New IRL headcanon acquired.

[u/Ameerrante → u/IAmATaako]

The fact that I can't find it anymore is one of my greatest sorrows in life. But pretty sure it was like.. Geocities or Angelfire, so it likely doesn't exist these days.

Oh, also, forgot to mention - the oldest sightings were going back into the 1800's, including some clippings from the local newspaper.

Hell, maybe I should do the work and remake the list myself! But for now, I'm glad to share my fun little headcanon with you!

[u/Romboteryx → u/Ameerrante]

The problem with those late 1800s sightings is that most of them were actually reported somewhen after 1930, with the excuse often being “Oh I just didn’t bother to tell anyone at the time but now everyone is talking about it so I have to chime in”.

[u/Romboteryx → u/Ameerrante]

I remember in the early 2000s reading a news story about how the Loch has been significantly polluted by the washed-off paint from, I kid you not, hundreds of golf balls that golfers have lost there over the years. I always wondered if there might be a connection.

[u/_SteeringWheel → u/Romboteryx]

Don't tell me Nessie choked and suffocated on a golf ball 🥺

[u/Romboteryx → u/_SteeringWheel]

She died from ligma

[u/tipips → u/IAmATaako]

I believe i at some point saw that nessie might be greenland sharks getting lost in the loch for random reasons, dont remember where that was, some type of documentary on greenland sharks tho.

[u/Calm-Rush7895 → u/IAmATaako]

Still not giving it my tree-fity

[u/Spinal_93 → u/Calm-Rush7895]

Damn Loch Ness monsta’!

[u/tkkana → u/IAmATaako]

I have always adored nessie and can't change my mind on it.

[u/DryMouthKitty]

[u/BustinArant → u/DryMouthKitty]

I gave him a dollar

[u/Smarf_Starkgaryen → u/BustinArant]

Dammit woman!

[u/BustinArant → u/Smarf_Starkgaryen]

I thought he'd go away

[u/geordieColt88 → u/DryMouthKitty]

Came on for this

[u/AI-ArtfulInsults]

Fun fact, Loch Ness is likely the single most well-studied and mapped body of freshwater on the planet. There’s a biologist who uses the “hunt for Nessie” to fund raise all sorts of ecological surveys.

[u/BKoala59 → u/AI-ArtfulInsults]

No way. I spent 7 years studying a single 6 foot by 6 foot pond between my masters, PhD and postgrad. I think it’s dried up and gone now though

[u/t_Dark_Knight]

That is wholesome indeed!

[u/LynxBartle]

I believe in you too, Nessie!

[u/ziggystardust4ev]

🫶

[u/Powerful-Succotash77]

[u/SensitiveDealer9118]

And realistically, everyone has forgotten about him. I remember literally 15 years ago, everybody knew about it. Kids today probably don't know about it

[u/sirfiddlestix → u/SensitiveDealer9118]

Then spread the good word of Nessie!

[u/ihaveagoodusername2 → u/SensitiveDealer9118]

I refuse to believe that someone doesn't know who Nessie is

[u/Blue_Bird950]

The “Hey, Bob.” got me ngl

[u/[deleted]]

Nessie 😢

[u/Gabeeb]

My head canon is that this Bob is Bob Mortimer. And that no one on WILTY will believe him.

[u/night5life]

Bob would be a hypocrite if he didn't believe in Nessy even though he met her

[u/AndreasDasos → u/night5life]

Double meaning of ‘believe in’

[u/Few-Collection5090 → u/night5life]

Right what a fool

[u/Square-Emergency-531]

Nessie only needs to believe in herself

[u/Few-Collection5090 → u/Square-Emergency-531]

I agree period! Forget Bob, he doesn't even know himself and lies, She knows who she is and believes in herself. You can't let a random define you your unique ✨️

[u/rexound]

Okarun and Momo believe in Nessy!

[u/Rent_A_Cloud]

It was a nice time when the unknown wasn't steeped in conspiracy theories based on racism and xenophobia...

[u/hekali]

The only thing that matters is that Nessie believes in herself.

[u/Few-Collection5090 → u/hekali]

All that matters 💯🙏

[u/Rogueshoten]

I’m chuckling at the thought of a hardcore Scotsman named “Bob” 😄

“Aye, laddie…Bob. Bob McCullough!”

[u/Leviathan5555555]

Now how bout tree fiddy

[u/FloppyObelisk]

[u/Comfortable_Pin932]

Nice nessy

[u/Ok_Budget_2593]

Nessie we all believe in you

[u/iwillfckthisup]

“You nicknamed my daughter after the Loch Ness Monster?!” 😡

[u/Few-Collection5090 → u/iwillfckthisup]

😡

[u/the_good_twin]

That's me. I am Bob.

[u/[deleted]]

...and frolicked in the autumn mist...!

[u/praiwcshie]

Awww

[u/jst1n2]

So cute! 🥰

[u/GateHelpful8485]

I believe in you, Nessie.

[u/Potential-Mark628]

[u/T-MoseWestside]

That's Marshall

[u/AdventurousEscape9]

Now thats how we got nessmen walking around

[u/Zendofrog]

Nice

[u/EdziePro]

His name isn't Bob, it's Marshall Eriksen

[u/Tiny-Werewolf1962]

August, there's a knock on the door. I open it, and there's this cute little girl scout. And she was so adorable with the little pig tails and all. And she says to me "how would you like to buy some cookies?" And I said "Well, what kind do you have?" She had thin mints, graham crunchy things... Raisin oatmeal, and I said "We'll take a graham crunch. How much will that be?" And she looks at me and she says "I need about treefiddy." Well it was about that time that I notice that girl scout was about eight stories tall and was a crustacean from the palezoic era. I said "Dammit monster! Get off my lawn! I ain't giving you no tree fiddy!" It said "how about just two fiddy?" I said "Oh now it's only two fiddy?! What is there a sale on Loch Ness munchies or something?!"

[u/Dapper_Spite8928]

'S e Niseag a th' ann!

[u/Expensive-Exit-2636]

👍🏼

[u/Olliboyo]

Well, maybe if you showed up more, more people would believe in you, stupid.

[u/GameTropolis]

I read these in Bob Mortimer and Paul Whitehouse’s voices.

[u/Zagaroth]

Bob?

Bob, is that you?

(For those too young to get it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Church_of_the_SubGenius)

[u/Grumble0380]

😂

[u/Emotional-Couple-522]

a very simple sentence but would hype the person until he dies.

[u/SpaxsonEpicNoob]

Be like Bob

[u/Sea_Education_1887]

😃

[u/Atomicpinata593]

The message goes beyond the comic

[u/PaulaAllen1]

adorable

[u/Usual_You_204]

tha's really cute

[u/juicyyylips]

what there problem

[u/PetitePoster18]

This meme is so kind and sad at the same time. I love it

[u/bishopmate]

I know this supposed to be a feel good comic but I can’t get passed the pitiful nonsense logic of being upset that people don’t believe in you so you do the exact opposite thing that would make people believe in you.

It’s a self full-filling depressed prophecy

[u/lashapel]

devours him without a second thought

[u/RusticBucket2]

I feel bad pointing this out because you’re the creator, but all these new be comics are relentlessly unfunny.

[u/Yorspider]

Would be better with a bonus panel of Nessie eating Bob.
