The Night Owls Solve another case!

Whew, that was a close one! Today's episode wraps up the Mummy story arc! (Get it? nudge nudge) Join us again on Thursday for the start of a brand new adventure in which Roscoe brews up some trouble for himself! Make sure to view it in Full Screen mode for the optimal experience!

ROSCOE has INTERNET!

Hey everybody! I just thought I'd give a heads up to fans of the NIGHT OWLS that you follow Roscoe the Gargoyle online at either Facebook or Twitter or BOTH!

On Twitter, he can be found @RoscoeGargoyle

He is Roscoe Gargoyle on Facebook too.

It can get a little confusing, since he is still in 1927. He has a computer from the future, and all the necessary wires run into a small time warp and are plugged in in someone's house here in 2009.

Roscoe Spore!

My pal, Brian Michael Stempien, made Roscoe in the video game Spore. How awesome is that?!? Thanks, Brian!

Night Owls Sketches

These are the first sketches I ever drew of the Night Owls. As you can see, I knew what I thought they should look like, and they haven't changed much since, except for Roscoe.

Here Roscoe is shown with big Popeye arms and smokin' a stogie. I ditched the stogie, because I decided my characters wouldn't smoke, even though it'd be entirely period appropriate for them to do so. Besides, Buster Keaton died of lung cancer. There's reason enough to give Tobacco the high hat, if you ask me.

As for the Popeye arms, I'm not sure why I decided not to do that. Looking back, I kinda wish I'd kept them. Oh well.

There's also a sketch for my original logo idea, "the postage stamp logo".

It ended up looking like this, but I ended up not liking it very much.

And finally, here's the first actual comics page to ever feature the Night Owls:
