āTheOdd1sOut's 2020 outro | ||
Robert James Rallison (born: May 14, 1996), better known online as TheOdd1sOut (formerly theodd1sout comic), is an American YouTube cartoonist who is best known for his comic series and his YouTube channel of the same name. As a member of the "Animation Squad", he sometimes works with YouTube animators. James frequently collaborates with smaller YouTubers, which grows both their audiences by thousands. At the moment he has just under 15 million subscribers and has written two books.
James has also posted speed drawings of the comics he posts on Tumblr, Twitter, Tapastic, Facebook, and iFunny, as well as his own website. In these videos, he shows the process of a comic's creation and rambles about the events in his life. He also recently published a book titled, "How to be Cool and Other Things I Definitely Learned from Growing Up" and a sequel, "The First Sequel"
Webcomics
Rallison uploaded the first strip of his webcomic TheOdd1sOut on June 13, 2012, on Tumblr and later on iFunny. Throughout his first year of making comics, he played with his style a lot before settling on his current bubble style. He still posts webcomics, though a lot less frequently than he used to due to most of his time being occupied by YouTube.
James is part of the comic creator group "Orgy" or "OfficialOrgy". The group is made up of iFunny and Tumblr comic makers and animators Doggybag, Deezeewy/DizzyComic, Chez, Free/Funtime, 8BitLiam, ForceAnimations, Blumod, and CowardlyComics.They take a question prompt (for example: "what shouldn't you say at a job interview?") and each gives a humorous response. These collaborations are made every few weeks and posted by a different member each time.
YouTube
On August 30, 2014, about two years after he started making webcomics, Rallison started making YouTube videos. He called it, "theodd1sout comic", and uploaded a video about a book he had made in elementary school on the same day, titled "A Book I Made as a kid". After a few years of steady growth, in April 2016, his channel gained over 278,000 subscribers, giving him a total of over 400,000 subscribers as of that May.
James' most popular video used to be his 'Work Stories (sooubway)' video about his work at fast-food chain Subway (known as 'Sooubway' in his videos, possibly to avoid copyright claims), gaining over 30 million views. His videos about working at Subway have also been featured on Foodbeast. The Subway that where James used to work at since closed down, according to the most-requested video, Sooubway 4: The Final Sandwich.[1] The website's writer Peter Pham has called the videos "amazing" and "hilarious". His most popular video is 'Life is Fun', a song about "existential dread".
He also has a second channel called TheOdd2sOut, where he does things in real life and not in animations.
Personality
James is known for being introverted. Most of his videos are about him being embarrassed and his experiences.
Books
TheOdd1sOut created a book titled How to Be Cool and Other Things I Definitely Learned from Growing Up. This is his book that you can currently buy for $7.75. This book has a 4.9-star review from the Google Reviews Audience Rating Summary and is recommended by customers. He also has other books but this is his most popular one.
