The Artist
Odd-fish is a webcomic spin-off from NobbyNobody's Biro-art.com, a showcase of artwork by British doodler Phillip Blackman (aka NobbyNobody) using ball-point pens, or biros as they're known in the UK.

The Comic
Odd-fish features a group of aquatic creatures, the eponymous 'Odd-Fish' and their unlikely, bizarre and hopefully  funny adventures.
Like Biro-art, Odd-fish is drawn mainly with a biro on ordinary printer paper before being scanned into a computer and fiddled with in Photoshop to add speech bubbles, sound effects and other such fripperies.

The Main Characters
Lovecraft & Howard, from Odd-Fish.net

  • Lovecraft
    Nominally an Octopus but sometimes seems to be a Pentapus, Hexapus, Septapus etc.
    Lovecraft has a love of dodgy Japanese animation, the more suspect and the more tentacles the better.
    Although he often displays a certain naive charm, he has a sinister side too and sometimes reveals flashes of pure evil genius. Lovecraft hates Zebras.

  • Howard
    A Puffer-fish and long-suffering best friend to Lovecraft the octopus.
    Howard doesn't suffer fools gladly and has an intense hatred of 'net-speak' and its derivatives.
    He acts a a foil to Lovecraft's sillyness.

  • Octobot
    A robotic invention of Lovecraft's making and a martyr to rust.
    Octobot was sent by Lovecraft on a mission to destroy humanity but due to unforseen circunstances dodn't quite achieve its goals.
    Octobot can be programmed, controlled remotely or driven from a cockpit behind its right eye.

  • Hugh
    A Manatee or possibly, as he's in the ocean, a Dugong.
    Hugh is very, very unlucky and suffers terrribly with a bad, possibly terminal case of 'sods' law'. Everything happens to poor Hugh.

  • Star Wars Squid
    A squid with an obsession with Star Wars
    While not actually a Jedi (because Jedi's aren't real) he believes he is with every fibre of his being and spends a great deal of his time waving a broom handle around and making 'Vwwoorm, whuuumm, Kshhh' noises.
    Star Wars Squid is quite likely to tell you that he's your dad, whatever species you may be.

  • The Tiny Tinned Zebras
    No one knows how Howard came to have a tin of zebras in his kitchen cupboard or how, after Lovecraft opened the can thinking it was food, they could be still alive.
    The Zebras now live and breed like vermin in Howard and Lovecraft's shared house where they form a constant annoyance with their habit of chewing things and leaving turds where the friends least expect.
