Bouncy Ball Man is a comic book series by Caleb York and Rick Alves starring a very spherical, very yellow, and very down-on-his-luck man named Cody Dillon.Dillon is a broke stuntman about to age out of the industry and is dealing with a divorce and a world that's seemed to have moved on without him. He reluctantly takes an advertising gig for the Topsy Turvy Toy company where he has to dress in a ridiculous yellow suit and bounce up and down.Unfortunately for him and fortunately for Topsy Turvy Toys, he winds up accidentally saving the day and becomes a corporate superhero. As his story progresses, he has to deal with his own hatred of fame, a vicious motorcycle gang, parenting struggles, landing dates, and his sense of identity.You can read it on Comixology and on GlobalComix. | |

Cool Old Guy: Cody is hovering somewhere around 50 and is a stuntman who fights crime and gets in a bar fight all in the first issue. Walden also could qualify as one. | |
