Sam L. of Turner, OR was not amused by “The Wolf Inside” (Iss. #20). “I used to work the third shift at the plant but I was fired for showing up as a monster,” Sam wrote. “And all my clothes are ripped up from when I transform!” We sent him a $7 gift card to Goodwill. How generous of us!

Here’s the text for you because you are you!

An Ocean of Streaming

Seamus C. Monster,
Resident Odditor

I’m a sucker for a good TV show. Who isn’t? And now we’ve got tons of shows to choose from. It would be overwhelming if it weren’t so abundantly wonderful!

I had an ex who told me that no one cared about my opinions. Emphasize: “HAD an EX…” Was she right? I have no idea. All I know is that sharing my opinions makes me happy and isn’t it my right to pursue happiness? Don’t answer that. I don’t wanna hear it!

In any case, I thought I’d share my list of the best TV shows streaming nowadays. Hopefully, you’ll enjoy them and binge like the happy little couch potato you are!

In no particular order:

  • “The Swamp Office”
  • “Frenemies”
  • “The Incel Bachelor”
  • “Deep South Park”
  • “Everybody Loves Nessie”
  • “The Gaming Date”
  • “Breaking Wind”

Do you have any favorite shows? Well, keep that to yourself. No one cares.

Anyways… enjoy this issue!

Random Humans: Man with a Small Head

Card #48 in the Random Humans series – From Oddballs #20

At first, you may think that his body is too big for his head, but it’s the other way around. His head is, in fact, small.

Does his small head mean he has a small brain? Well, it’s naturally smaller in size but could be as capable as any other brain. But I’m not about to ask.

Random Humans: Lady Who Talks on Her Cell Phone Like a Sideways Walkie-Talkie

Card #46 in the Random Humans series – As seen in Oddballs #21

She still holds the phone up to her ear, but it’s on speaker. Why? We don’t know. But we DO know all her personal business as her phone’s volume is loud and she’s speaking loudly so that her phone’s microphone catches her voice in public.

Random Humans: Awkward Teenage Boy

Card #45 in the Random Humans series – As seen in Oddballs #21

Sure, it’s just a phase, but it’s a tough one. He’ll be OK in about five years. Until then, he’s awkward.

He finds solace in the fact that his friends are awkward as well. There’s a certain benefit to belonging to a band of awkward misfits. That said, he hopes he’s the first to grow out

of it.
