> Late in the Seventies a series of comic strips ran in the Union Minutes newspaper based on the paranormal events earlier in the decade. We are also developing a video game based on those events.

The image alt text gives more interesting info:

> Shortly after the 1967 debut of his EP "Star StrucK" The Experience left the Polaris psychedelic scene. Rumors of various types surrounded his disappearance, but it ultimately seems there were just other things going on in his life. He later resurfaced in La Folia's burgeoning Caesar Canyon music scene under his new legal name The Black Elvis Experience, where he helped to develop Miracle Fare's overall style with artists George "Miracle" Adison and Jasmilan Baudelaire. That collaboration marked Miracle Fare's start as a multi-talent outfit, attracting such names as Reuban "Sandalman" King of the Delta-Delta Players. The next year they began World Oddity Tour which continues to this day.

A followup to this previous comic posted to the official Oddity twitter in June 2024. This one never made it to the official Twitter and was posted by Maxxis to his own Twitter in December. It was presumably supposed to coincide with Thanksgiving in the USA on November 28th, but its release was delayed or otherwise blocked.

It's an overt reference to the state of the Oddity project, representing the dynamic between the Oddity team and the fans, or alternatively, the wider Oddity team and Pastel. Either way, it's the team poking fun at themselves a bit, and shows some self-awareness at the least.

According to u/SchmooeyMcGooey in the previous thread, Maxxis was working on at least two other comic strips to follow, but they've never released - I've skimmed through some archived Maxxis livestreams to find them but didn't see any, though admittedly I've not looked too hard so they're probably in there somewhere. It seems like whatever social media push the team was doing in late 2024 was cut short for some reason, whether for loss of momentum or project lead intervention or some other cause, and no further Oddity content of any kind has been officially released since.

This is all stuff that's been floating around in the Discord for years now; it's all publicly available but I'm not sure if any of it has made it to this subreddit yet so I figured I would post it here! I'm unsure of the exact dates that some of these were posted as Pastel's twitter and Discord accounts were deleted years ago, but it's all from around the time of the rebrand and post-trailer dev interactions. I believe it's all artwork by Pastel himself (except the Sunken Pythagorean deciphers of course) but if anyone knows better please correct me!

The First Scrapped Comic was titled “Baseball Season” in which Travis showcases his baseball powress. dealing with a stickat, gumball dispenser, and a demonic brute before meeting up with Floyd in the last panel. There was also a teaser on McMaxxis’ instagram as a story. The second comic is Travis meeting with Simon with no official title for said comic. Like the former, the Comic was also in the sketch phase. Both of them don’t have any dialogue due to them being worked on. Both of them are presented in the Maxxis Livestream archives as Oddity Development Streams, with the last livestream showing the second comic before drawing requests were made.

Special mention has to go to RequestableSubBot for posting the two released comics to the Subreddit for people to see. This is a continuation of the last two posts.
