Bob the Box is a main character in Webcomic U., roommate to Anders Tamandua, Wilburforce, and Jim Fluffle. In his own words, Bob is a "minimalist representation of the archetypical cynic character depicted as a near-cubic polyhedron." For those not so fond of large words, he's "a grumpy box." He has a special comic appeal, being a character with nothing but a pair of eyes to express emotion.
