Where was Oddsy published

Hi, I am new to the forum. I have obtained a large collection of original artwork by Hugh Morren. Part of the collection contains the artwork for newspaper comic strips probably from the 1980s. One of the strips I have a lot of examples of (about 600) is about a guy who spends most of his time at betting shops. His name is Oddsy although I think in one of the strips he was referred to as Mr Oddsbody. The Strip does not have an official title written at the top and a google search didnt bring up much. I did notice The Sun newspaper was referenced in the strip a couple of times. I will try an attach a couple of examples. Most have no info of the reverse. Certainly no publication info.

Would anyone know the correct name of the strip and maybe the artist name that Hugh Morren used for the strip if it was an alias.

There are a few other strips. One is called Nine-Ten-Out about a boxer. Again I cant find any info online.

Any info would be a huge help.

James

I forgot to mention that some other strips I have by Hugh are of the character called WACK. I think these were published in the Sun.
