What if I told you about a guy whose webcomic is basically awful fish puns drawn on printer paper with a ball-point pen?

Meet NobbyNobody and his gag strip Odd-Fish. No, really. Go have a look. Click “Random” a few times. I’ll wait.

Probably not what you expected, huh? Odd-Fish is about an octopus and a puffer and the goofy denizens of their undersea world. The jokes are intentionally cringeworthy, but the character designs and sweet crosshatch art just pop off the screen. They instantly grab you. Nobby draws almost entirely with ball-points pens (called biros in crazy European “languages”) and he wields them like a sushi chef with brand new knives. Seriously, I’m tres molto jealous.

To be honest, while he comes across as a sweet guy, sometimes I think Nobby is a closet sadist. He deliberately subjects us to horrible puns because he knows we can’t resist reading the next strip, regardless of the pain. Nobby, why do you torture us so?
