Multiversity Comics Interview!

Check out this interview with me and Bobby from Multiversity Comics! It's all about NIGHT OWLS, which you can buy in March for less than the cost of a house, but more than a stick of gum.

NIGHT OWLS Series Finale

NIGHT OWLS FANS! Today is the big day. Page 180 will go live on Zuda. If you need to catch up on The NIGHT OWLS, now is the time. If you've never read the comic, now you can read it from start to finish!

Also, comments are always appreciated!

The Night Owls Season Finale and a quick recap.

We've followed the Night Owls on many adventures since they debuted on Zuda Comics in December of '07.

As season three draws to a close, lets take a look back at all the crazy stuff that happened since then.

Since their memorable introduction in screen one, we've witnessed a gargoyle wedding, the Pied Piper playing in a Harlem Jazz Band, a blank-headed villain rip the faces off his victims, a jealous lover sick a werewolf on Mindy Markus, and seen a vampire cabal kidnap Professor Baxter and accidentally unleash the terror of Big Owl on the unsuspecting citizens of New York City! And that was just in the first 60 screens!

Season Two raised the stakes while revealing even more about our main characters. We saw a young Ernie defeat Big Owl for the first time, and we travelled to Mindy's fairy-tale home world of Funari. In between they matched wits with a magic gaspipe wielding gangster, a reanimated Egyptian mummy and Mindy's own step-father Rumplestilskin!

Season three is almost over and so far we've witnessed a new relationship for Mindy, Ernie getting payback on Louie the Gaspipe, The headless horseman making a grab for Ernie's head at the policeman's ball and Roscoe getting kidnapped and forced to join a traveling freak show.

Now, after 162 screens of Night Owls zaniness, the exciting conclusion to season three (and Night Owls Volume 1) began on Screen 163 with the re-imagining of a fan favorite villain and will carry on in high octane craziness to screen 180.

How will it end?

Will they or won't they?

What about Big Owl?!?

Come on over to Zuda to find out! Or I guess you could also wait till March and buy the book. OR you could do BOTH, which is what I recommend. Thanks!

Timony Twins UPDATE

First of all, San Diego Comiccon was a blast! It was great meeting everyone who took the time to stop by while we were signing and sketching. Thanks for coming out!

Second, you may not have heard this yet, but we Timony twins have been nominated for THREE harvey awards!

The Night Owls have been nominated for "Best New Series" and "Best Online Work" and I've been personally nominated for "Best New Talent". (I know. I'm just as surprised as you are.)

The Award ceremony will be held this October at Baltimore Comiccon, so Naturally, we'll be there.

Details about where we'll be specifically are still being ironed out, but I can tell you that we'll not only be hanging with our pals at Zuda, but you can also find us with the good folks in the "Kids Love Comics" area!

Kids Love Comics is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the development and growth of children's comic books in North America, and that's a goal I can really get behind!

I'll be sure to update you all with more info as I get it, but I think its safe to say, I'm really looking forward to October!

The final bit of info I have is probably the most exciting bit of all. The print edition of the Night Owls has a release date! Look for it in stores March 9th, or you can pre-order it right now at Amazon.com for $10!

As the date gets closer, we'll be planning some events to promote and celebrate including parties, signings, interviews, and whatever else we can think of! In the meantime, why not support your Timony pals and order a book?

It's our first professionally printed book ever and we obviously want it to do really well. We're very proud of it. I happen to know of at least one person who's gonna buy at least ten copies just for herself! (Thanks, Mom!)

UPDATE!

A friend of mine pointed out to me that it was inconsiderate of me to point you to Amazon when so many of your local comic stores would very much appreciate your business. So, in order to better serve your community, go to your store and request that they carry the Night Owls! My Pal Lionel Ruland of Bad Moo comics and games would love to order a copy for you!

Ten Things you didn't know about Mindy Markus

The Friends of Lulu has a short piece up called "Ten Things you didn't know about Mindy Markus".

Most of the people who read this blog already know a couple things on this list, but some of them are pretty obscure, and some have never been mentioned on-panel! I'm pretty sure even Peter didn't know all of these!

So, who are the Friends of Lulu? According to their FAQ:

Friends of Lulu is a national organization whose main purpose is to promote and encourage female readership and participation in the comic book industry. Among the goals of the organization are:

1. To increase female readership of comics

2. To promote the work of women in comics

3. To offer networking opportunities and general support to women in comics

4. To facilitate communication among women and men who share the organization’s purpose

So, there you go. That's a mission statement I can get behind! I just realized that Twin Comics has no mission statement OR a FAQ page... Oh well. Thank you Friends of Lulu!

Girls With Slingshots Guest Comic!

My friend, Danielle Corsetto, has a webcomic going called "Girls With Slingshots" and its one of the best ones going. Its consistently charming and funny and the art style is graceful and confident.

So when I heard that she was pressed for time this week, I offered to do a guest comic for her.

The comic, written by Peter and drawn by me, is up now so I invite you to have a look.

Also, remember this?

This is a picture of Dannikka the Elf from our new comic "Minion Maze" that I penciled and Danielle inked & colored.

It looks like Danielle isn't done helping out Minion Maze. She linked to the comic on her site, and we've already got a HUGE traffic spike from her large and loyal fanbase coming over to check it out!

Thank you, Danielle, and thank you to all the new people who took the time to follow the link! I hope you stick around!

Minion Maze is LIVE!

Here it is, the moment you've all been waiting for...

Minion Maze is live with 5 pages and updating every wednesday!

What secrets lie within the Minion Maze? What treasures for those souls brave enough to enter? What dangers will be faced? And will there be snacks?

Join grubby goblins, noble knights, dastardly dragons, slimy slugs, elegant elves, allegiant angels, and more, as they quest for money, power, fame, love, and maybe even redemption.

Do YOU dare enter the MINION MAZE?

New Webcomic launching tomorrow!

Tomorrow I will unleash a new serialized graphic novel on the web! It will be drawn by me, (Bobby Timony) and co-written by me, Peter Timony, and our friend and frequent collaborator Chant Macleod!

Five pages will be up at launch with a new one every week on wednesdays. If you'll be in NYC this weekend, why not stop by the MoCCA fest and say hi! We'll be at table #332. I'll give you a free peek at the first 8 pages if you ask nicely!

So, what's this new comic about, you ask? Well, here's a little preview for you...

It's ALIVE! Kindle Edition

It's Alive! is now available on Amazon's Kindle! Only 80¢!

From the description:

That crazy Mad Scientist is at it again, letting loose his creations to wreak havoc on the unsuspecting city. Only his faithfully deformed assistant can stop the insanity! This 24 page comic was written and drawn by Bobby Timony, artist on the popular webcomic "The Night Owls".

Basil the Bunny, Kindle Edition

Amazon has another Timony comic up for the Kindle. This time it's The Ballad of Basil the Bunny.

This is a 24 hour comic by me, Bobby Timony, and its done all in rhyme. This one is a bargain at only 80¢!

Here's the description:

Basil the Bunny was a simple farmer, until a scheming plot forced him to set out to defend his warren from a hungry wolf. This rhyming 24 page comic was written and drawn by Bobby Timony, artist on the popular webcomic "The Night Owls" in under 24 hours as part of the 24 hour comics challenge.

Announcing Night Owls Season 3 and Commentary Track

WUXTRY! WUXTRY!

The Night Owls have been renewed for a third season on Zudacomics.com!

Bobby and Peter Timony's fan favorite webcomic, "The Night Owls" recently wrapped up completion of it's second season. Those anxious for more can breathe easy knowing that another 60 screens are heading their way, every Tuesday and Thursday at http://zudacomics.com/the_night_owls.

To celebrate the completion of their second season, the Timony Twins are offering a free PDF commentary track on their website. Fans can download it and read along as they go through the archives. It comes loaded with insights, asides and some historical facts about the era.

Download the commentary here!

Set in 1920's New York City, the Night Owls follows a trio of detectives that solve supernatural crimes. The brilliant Professor Ernest Baxter leads the group, whose members also include the scrappy flapper, Mindy Markus, and a hot dog loving gargoyle named Roscoe.

Created in the style of an old Sunday Newspaper serial, the strip deals with the sometimes macabre subject matter in a humorous and lighthearted way.

The event at Wild Pigs was a ton of awesome fun. It was great hanging out with everyone and drawing all night.

I believe Peter Timony and Pete Stathis, who draws the excellent comic, Evenfall, were the only two to complete a 24 hour comic. I didn't even try. Instead, I used the time to work on the Night Owls, finishing the art for five comic strips and penciling a sixth one, which, as it turns out, is the final episode of season two!

I also found a little time to work on a top secret NEW webcomic idea that we've been kicking around for a while now.

I've got a picture here to share with you, too.

This is a little collaborative effort by me and the amazingly talented Danielle Corsetto of "Girls with Slingshots". I pencilled it and she inked and colored it. Honestly, Danielle made it look so good, I wish she could work on everything I drew!

Enjoy!

Con stuff! NYComicCon and Webcomics Weekend!

Here's a convention themed update for you.

The video is up on Newsarama, so if you have a second, why not check it out?

Secondly, I attended the New England Webcomics Weekend and had a few thoughts to share about it. You can read my musings as a guest contributer to ComicBook Resources "Robot 6" column here.

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.

NIGHT OWLS Anniversary!

This might be a day late, but yesterday was the one year anniversary of the launch of NIGHT OWLS on ZUDA! There was much celebrating, illegal hooch was consumed, and I just woke up at 2:30 today, hence the late blog post.

Anyway, I prefer to think of it this way: This Happy Anniversary is not one day late, OH NO! It is in fact 364 days EARLY.

Peter

A New Chapter Begins!

A new page of NIGHT OWLS is up, and a new storyline is started, this one features Irish v. Italian mobsters, with the added complication of a family banshee!
