Seamus C. Monster,
Resident Odditor

If you’re an avid reader of Oddballs (and why wouldn’t you be?), you’ll recognize the guy on the cover who is also on page 11 and the header on “This Page.” You may also remember him from such features as “Who’s the Borscht” (issue #8), “The Mumus and the PooPoos” (issue #12), and “The Sound of Mucus” (issue #19). Who is he?

His name is Elwood Reid Ross Grey (a.k.a. E. R. R. Grey). He is a literature and creative writing professor at Odd State University.

That’s his day job. He is also a fiction author, he has an arts and entertainment critic column for the local newspaper, and he plays stand-up bass in a three-piece band – “Grey Matters.” Busy guy!

In fact, E. R. R. was the first choice as Odditor of Oddballs, but he was too busy to take on the job. So you’re left with me.

Anyways… enjoy this issue!
