His strip replaced Biffo the Bear and Little Plum, which had both been reduced to a half page by this time. He has a pet called Alexander Lemming, (a pun on Alexander Fleming). There were several variations of the visual appearance of Calamity James before a final image was decided on. . Calamity James has black hair, wears black trousers, and has a red jumper with the number 13 on it. He has big eyes, and lots of buckteeth, but in his early days, he had small eyes and only two buckteeth. In earlier strips he was also shown under a permanent black rain cloud. His shirt with the number 13 on it could well be the source of his bad luck.
