TIMONY TWINS take over ZUDA!

Here is a cut 'n paste of my first ever ZUDA Blog post!

Hey everybody, Peter Timony here. Some of you may have already noticed our nifty new STAFF badges, and wondered what they meant. Well, to coincide with the Season 2 Premier of THE NIGHT OWLS, Bobby and I will be your guest editors for the month of October! That means we chose the competitors for October (more on that next week!) and we will be updating the Zuda blog!

That’s not to say the regular Zuda crew is taking the month off, mind you. Kwanza is keeping a close eye on us! It is a bold move, putting Zuda into our hands, and he just wants to make sure we don’t hijack the site for our own nefarious purposes.

Now go read The Night Owls, or I’'ll suspend all your accounts! Bloo Ha Ha!

Press Release: Night Owls Animated!

Monday, September 15, 2008
Press Release: The Night Owls are Animated!

Untitled Project Productions and the Timony Twins present THE NIGHT OWLS, Episode 1, an animated short based on the popular comic strip published by Zuda Comics!


The Untitled Project

The Night Owls is about to start its highly anticipated second season this October. To celebrate, series creators Peter and Bobby Timony have teamed with Untitled Project Productions to bring their first episode to life in this short cartoon.
Untitled Project Productions is an animation and editorial house based in the trendy Brooklyn neighborhood of Dumbo. Visit us online at www.theuntitledproject.com.

What is Zuda?

Zuda is an imprint of DC Comics. Each month, they select ten user-submitted webcomics and post them on the site. Anyone can go, read the comics and vote on the one they like best. At the end of the month the comic creator who gets the most votes gets a contract with DC to continue their webcomic for 60 screens. All the comics are free to read, and it is free to register and vote as well.
NIGHT OWLS was not in the regular competition. It was an Instant Winner.

Who are The Night Owls?

"The Night Owls" is a Detective Agency set in New York City in the 1920s and specializing in cases that involve the supernatural. Professor Ernest Baxter is the brains of the operation, utilizing his vast knowledge of all things weird to right the wrongs that leave ordinary police baffled! He's a bit of a bookworm, and allergic to sunlight, but his inquisitive nature has led to the downfall of many of New York's deadliest demons! Of course, he couldn't have done it without Mindy Markus. She's a feisty flapper that's put the hurt on a lot of nocturnal nasties! Don't try to tell her she can't fight the forces of evil because she's just a girl, unless you're looking for a face full of feminine fist, that is! Then there's Roscoe, the Gargoyle. He's a tough little bruiser from the Bronx, more at home at the dinner table than on a church roof. Together, they solve the crimes that no one else can solve! When you suspect your wife is a werewolf, when you're haunted by a petulant poltergeist, or caught in the trap of a vicious vampire, your best chance of survival is the Night Owls!

Pray For Death!

Monday marks the exciting conclusion of the excellent crime comic, "Pray For Death" on Zuda!
Will the killer succeed in pissing off God Almighty? I don't know if God is angry or not, but Detective Jenkins seems to have enough anger for the both of them!
The last installment threw a nice little unexpected twist at us. What do Nick Doan and Dani Serra have planned for the climax? Make sure to check it out on Monday to see how it all shakes down!

Incidentally, I wouldn't have mentioned it if The Night Owls hadn't done so well. NINE HATS! W00T!

Ron Perazza draws Roscoe

This sketch of Roscoe is by Ron Perazza, one of my bosses over at Zuda. While drawing this he was heard to remark, "Man, drawing Roscoe is hard! He's got a lot of distorted features!"
I think he did a fine job.
