Oddballs: Pūxar Movies
I love Pixar movies. Well, I love most Pixar movies. I tried to watch “Turning Red” and found it insufferable. “Lightyear” was disappointing, to say the least. And “The Good Dinosaur” is mediocre. What are your thoughts on those?

Nobody Knows This Gnome
AI image created using Midjourney
Mr. Anonymous of an undisclosed location shared that he too is a gnome in witness relocation (see “What do you Know About Your Gnome,” Iss. #5). He requested, “If you print my photo, put one of those blackout squares over my eyes.” Done.
Wolf in Cheap Clothing

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!

“Robbin’ Hoodlum: My Life as an Outlaw Saint” – A Memoir
Much of what we know about Robin Hood is from dramatized fiction. Now, hear the real story from the man himself! You’ll laugh, you’ll cry, you’ll steal gold coins from a tax collector to give to your impoverished neighbor!

Oddballs: Cover (From Issue #22)
I like this cover. It’s not humorous, but I feel it’s attractive and somewhat compelling. Why the clarinet girl? Open up and find out!

Dear Oddballs,
When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up? I wanted to be an astronaut!
Spaceman in Springfield, OR
Dear Spaceman,
I didn’t want to be an astronaut, I’ll tell you that! Being shut up in a can with nothing but empty space around me? Count me out! I’d rather be the guy who pushes the button that starts the rocket boosters. Also, I hear space food is gross.
Seamus C. Monster
Dear Oddballs,
In Issue #10, you showed a poster for a vampire music festival. I know it was a joke, but it sounded like fun. I’d go.
Fangs in Flat Rock, MI
Dear Fangs,
If you go to such a festival, be forewarned: the event starts late at night. Oh, and you may also be eaten.
Seamus C. Monster
Dear Oddballs,
Have you ever thought about being on a game show?
Couch Potato in Columbus, OH
Dear Couch Potato,
I was on a taping of “The Dating Game” back in the 70s but it never aired. The woman chose me (she liked my voice) but then she fainted when she saw my sea monster form. How superficial of her!
Seamus C. Monster
Dear Oddballs,
What will happen 50 years in the future?
Tomorrow Man in Toronto, Ontario
Dear Tomorrow Man,
I don’t have a crystal ball, so I can’t say what the future holds. That said, I have a Magic 8 Ball, I shook it, and it informed me that you should ask me later. So, in the future, you’ll ask me again.

Oddballs: Birds of Prey with Hats
Birds are fun to draw. Somehow, their faces take on expression easily. Maybe it’s the beak.

And another of me inking it!
