real world too constraining. Rob likes to write
about all sorts of things but frequently includes
action and humor in his work. Not satisfied with
writing stories of questionable content for
adults, he's also started work on series of
middle-grade books incorporating his love of not-so-super-heroes
and toilet-humor.

in Sandakan Sabah, Malaysia. If you have a map

My wife is a local with both Kadazan and Chinese
heritage. She is also a principal at one of the

me well in line on most occasions. We met through
our mutual desire to teaching English ( I know it
sounds improbable, but very true) and making a
long story short I moved here just over a year
ago from Thailand where I had been for the
previous 7.
I'm a 57 year old Australian by the way so please
don't hold that against me. Talking a lot and
giving my free advice on most topics are my main
strengths ( my wife begs to differ ).

Bill
Harvey:
Born in
Detroit, Mi., USA on June 27, 1954. Bill Harvey
got hooked on Marvel superhero comic books at an
early age, especially the artwork of Jack Kirby.
He bought his first official art table at age 16,
and it's still in (daily) use today.
He has followed the dream of making a living from
the artboard. In the meantime, he has supported
himself as a computer technician.
He has self-published several comic books in
a series titled DangerWorld. But greater
commercial success has been elusive.
Around 2008 he decided to switch from action/adventure
superhero style comic book endevors to a
newspaper style "humor" comic strip. He
picked the title The ODDS while
wondering what the odds were of finding
success in that field.
The ODDs features
married seniors Tad and Elmira Odd, and generally
covers marriage, dieting, doctors, the workplace,
the economy, and culture.
Bill has never married, other than being wed to
his vocation in life: creating at the artboard.
