Odd Rods
Odd Rods was a group of non-sports trading card/sticker series created by the Donruss company beginning in 1969. The original series, entitled Odd Rods, introduced the theme of the series in 44 stickers: monsters in cars. Done by cartoonist/illustrator/writer B. K. Taylor in a style influenced by the work of Ed "Big Daddy" Roth, the series proved very popular with schoolchildren of the time, resulting in a string of sequel series:
- Odder Odd Rods
- Oddest Odd Rods
- Odd Rods All Stars
- Fabulous Odd Rods
- Fantastic Odd Rods Series 1
- Fantastic Odd Rods Series 2.
In 1980, Topps made a series similar to Odd Rods titled Weird Wheels.
In 2006, the Odd Rods trademark and artwork was acquired and the mark registered with the U.S. Trademark Office. The official Odd Rods website is now active.
Odd Rods became the subject of an ownership dispute in 2010.
