Happy Birthday to ZUDA!

Today is the one year anniversary of the launch of ZUDA! Man, I remember that day well! The whole website had that "new website" smell. I remember reading Bayou first, then reading the competition comics. I thought to myself, "Myself," which is how I address myself when thinking to myself, for myself is me, "Myself," I thought, "These comics are good, and so different from what we're doing... does Night Owls even stand a chance?!?" Then I logged in and voted for High Moon.

It also happens to be Free Pie Thursday, so have a piece of pie in honor of Zuda! Then go there and read free comics... FREE COMICS!!!

Night Owls Fan Art!

NIGHT OWLS Interviews and Rumors

REPOSTED FROM THE ZUDA BLOG. You can find the original post here: http://zudacomics.com/node/925

Hey Everybody! It's still NIGHT OWLS month here at Zuda, so we're gonna celebrate with a couple of interviews with The Most Famous Twins in Comics, who also happen to be us!

The first one is with Big Kev's Geek Stuff! Some of you may know Big Kev from his appearances on the Opie and Anthony show.

The second one is Comics Coast to Coast with Brian Dunaway and my old pal from way back, Justin Thompson! Justin also has a webcomic of his own, which I invite you to read, called MYTHTICKLE!

Lastly, some of you may have already heard the rumors being sprouted over at Rich Johnston's column on Comic Book Resources, Lying in the Gutters. I'm here to tell you now that these rumors are most emphatically and without question, possibly slightly maybe sort of untrue, give or take a few falsehoods, and not taking into account the possibility of alternate dimensions in which a version of these events that is exactly, partly, or not at all the same may or may not have taken place, or at the very least, the opposite of what I just said.

However, if you are absolutely jonesing for some animated Night Owls, there is always that cartoon we made on You Tube... as well as this new one here, featuring my wife (some of you know her as screamingdolai here at Zuda) as Mindy!

Popeye

Hi everyone. Bobby here.
Alot of people who know me know that I love Popeye. In fact, I've always wanted to do a Popeye comic.
As luck would have it, just prior to San Diego ComicCon, I was introduced to a guy by the name of Frank Caruso who works on Popeye over at King Features. Frank is a great guy who also loves Popeye, naturally, and we talked for a long while on the subject.
Needless to say, I'd never forgive myself if I didn't at least try to pitch a Popeye comic, so I drew up a couple pages.
According to Frank, there isn't alot of interest in a Popeye graphic novel right now, but who knows? Popeye never dies, so maybe someday...
Anyways, I thought it's be fun to share the pages I drew. Here's a brief sample of what a Popeye graphic novel as drawn by me might look like.

SPX and Comic Fencing

Hey family and friends and fans and other!

2 things to mention today!

First, The Timony twins are heading to SPX in Bethesda MD this weekend. We have a table, so stop on by, get some stuff and say hello!

Info on SPX can be found HERE!

Second, Comic Fencing Reviewed NIGHT OWLS a bunch of times!

Those who are familiar with Comic Fencing will recall that it is a website where a bunch of reviewers pick one comic a week and review it! This week they wisely chose THE NIGHT OWLS, and found themselves raving! Go read the reviews HERE!

Kleefeld on Comics reviews Night Owls!

Sean Kleefeld reviewed Night Owls over on his Blog!

I think it is a fair review. Bordering on rave.

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!
