Nobby Bloe

Nobby Bloe is a character originating in Peter Laird and Jim Lawson's comic book, Planet Racers. He debuts in the first comic, and is in fact the first character to appear in the book, identifying himself as a "spokesbeing" for the United Systems Planet Racers Association.

Bloe appears in the 2003 TV series episode Across the Universe as an announcer for the race occurring in that episode. When Methania Fitts begins to suspect the race's commissioner Tangent Morrey of foul play, she enlists the help of Nobby, who also has his suspicions of Morrey, to expose his secrets.
