Bubby has spent thirty years trapped in the same small room, tricked by his mother. One day, he manages to escape and, deranged and naive in equal measures, his adventure into a modern and nihilistic life begins.

Bad Boy Bubby is just that: a bad boy. So bad, in fact, that his mother has kept him locked in their house by convincing him the air outside's poisonous. After a visit from his estranged father, circumstances force Bubby into the waiting world, a place which is just as unusual to him as he is to the world.—Murray Chapman <muzzle@cs.uq.oz.au>

No one can imagine what Bubby, a 35-year-old man-child, has been through in his sheltered life. Unlikely as it seems, the hated pariah never had the chance to evolve. After all, the man lived constantly under the thumb of his controlling, manipulative mother and her false, preposterous beliefs. But sometimes, enough is enough. And when an unexpected visit from a long-estranged nobody leads to eye-opening revelations, Bubby can finally leave the nest and spread his wings. Now, the sky's the limit; the insatiable curiosity of the wide-eyed man-boy is his guide in a strange, mad world. However, in this exciting quest for self-discovery, Bubby is alone for the first time in his miserable existence. As a result, questions arise. Can Bubby make it on his own? Above all, is the world prepared for Bad Boy Bubby?—Nick Riganas
