Odd Ball
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Odd Ball is a character that appeared in the first edition of the British comic Whizzer and Chips, and survived its merger with Buster. Latterly appearing in reprints, it was drawn throughout its run by Terry Bave.
Odd Ball is a red rubber ball which accidentally found itself kicked from a distant planet onto earth. It was found by Nobby, who remained its owner. Odd Ball could see and speak, and was able to turn himself into any shape at will.
Oddities: In later years, Nobby's dad lost his moustache and beard, and gained a full head of hair - his head was also redrawn at the time. Odd Ball also gained a Time Travel shape in the late 1980s, where previously he had been strictly restricted to rubber versions of day to day objects.
His subtitle was "Nobby Noodle owns Odd Ball, the amazing toy from space".
