The Oddball's Odyssey #1 is a double-sized, 56-page one-shot comic book released on April 29, 2026, by Bad Idea Comics. It is written and illustrated by five-time Eisner Award winner Tony Millionaire, best known for his Sock Monkey and Maakies series. 

Plot & Concept

The story is a surreal reimagining of Homer’s The Odyssey, blended with the intricate visual style of Moebius’s Arzach. 

• The Protagonist: The story follows Bobby Dougherty, a booze-hound monkey who finally achieves sobriety through "divine providence".
• The Quest: His sobriety is short-lived after he falls "drunk on love" for a radiant swan named Lucia Serena DelMar. When she takes flight, Bobby and his faithful friend Jimmy Skunk embark on a perilous journey to win her heart.
• Key Obstacles: Their trek takes them through impossible labyrinths, across treacherous seas, and into a confrontation with a vicious, fire-spitting minotaur.
