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!

A 24 Hour Comics event!

This weekend from noon Saturday to noon on Sunday we'll be helping our freinds at Wild Pig Comics II promote their annual 50% off sale by staying up ALL NIGHT and making comics! If you're anywhere near Kenilworth NJ this weekend, stop on in, no matter how late it is!

We wont be the only ones there, either! Joining us in this marathon event will be Erica Hesse of The Key, James Hatton of In His Likeness, David Gallaher and Steve Ellis of High Moon, Bill Ellis (no relation to Steve Ellis), Pete Stathis of Evenfall, and Danielle Corsetto of Girls with Slingshots!

As much as I love the 24 Hour Comics Challenge, this time I'll be using the time to get ahead on deadlines. Peter, however, will take up the gauntlet and write and draw 24 pages in 24 hours or less!

Agent Fat Kid!

There's a new cartoon on the YouTube called "Agent Fat Kid". It was written by my brother Peter (You may know him from the Night Owls) and animated by the good people over at "The Untitled Project". (You may also know them from "The Night Owls".)

Agent Fat Kid is the story of one portly juvenile who stands up for justice with his amazing gastronomical powers of regurgitation!

Just for fun, here's some original design sketches for Agent Fat Kid by me.

Con stuff! NYComicCon and Webcomics Weekend!

Here's a convention themed update for you.

First off, back in February we attended New York Comic Con and were interviewed by Comic Book Club Live's own Peter LePage.

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.

Google Jumbumblebutt.

That guy up there? That's Jumbumblebutt Markus, who is currently appearing in The Night Owls.

As my pal Dave pointed out, if you Google Jumbumblebutt, the only links you'll find are references to him! What are the implications?!?

That means we created an entirely new search term for Google that's never been used before!

Jumbumblebutt used to go by the name of Rumpelstilskin, but had it legally changed, because everyone already knew his name, and he likes to be anonymous.

If his goal was to pick an unguessable name, than he picked a good one, seeing as Google can't find any other instance of it in any language. It can, however, find 584,000 results for the name "Rumpelstilskin".

Good job, Jumbumblebutt!

New Twin Comics Event Calendar!

I know you're always clamoring to know when and where the Timony Twins are going to be, so to help you out in your creepy stalker ways, we've added an event calendar to Twin Comics.com. Check it out!

New 24 Hour Comics!

Over at our proper website, Twincomics.com, we put up some brand new 24 Hour Comics for your enjoyment. This time around we've got a joke-cracking skeleton pirate from Bobby, and Peter brings us a new Sir Roland tale, wherein he does battle with a fierce monster. Enjoy!

Escapist Interview

The Escapist has a Timony Twin video interview up from NY ComicCon! It starts at about 1:50 after the Halo Ad.

Go Watch it!

And, if you're feeling especially verbal, you can leave a nice comment in their forum!

Hammer Time!

When all you have is a hammer, the February Zuda competition looks like a nail.

This month's Zuda is almost over and it's been one of the best one's in terms of quality. I can fully understand if you haven't gotten around to deciding who to vote for yet. So if you haven't, may I make a suggestion?
Vote for THE HAMMER! By my friends Sam Little, Gabe Ostley, Rob Berry and Steve Steiner!

Got bunnies?

The above photo is of Dewey & Nelly, my two bunnies, chillin' under the bed. Dewey is the big one, Nelly is the one with the cute tufts of fur.
Spring is around the corner, and my wife and I are considering what to plant in the new garden. Since we're responsible bunny owners, we wanted to plant stuff that is safe for them to chew on.
So, I did some research and compiled a big list of bunny safe and bunny toxic plants.
As you can imagine, this is a very important list, so I thought I'd do all the bunny-owners out there a big favor and share it with the world!

Watch out!

I'd like to send a big thank you to Marc J. Fletcher over at the Den of Geek website for naming us as one of the Ten Comicbook Creators to Watch Out For! (Or would that be two of the creators? No, I guess we'd count as .5 creators to watch out for each.)
Anyways, Thanks Marc and the Den of Geeks! We wear our geek badges with honor.

10 questions for Bobby Timony

ComicsCareers.com has a revealing interview with me up on their site, where they ask and I answer ten soul-probing questions about comics and stuff related to comics. Come have a peek into my brain.

The National Cartoonist Society

Ladies and Gentlemen, I'd like to introduce you to the newest member of the National Cartoonist's Society... ME!

Tha's right, folks. Thanks to letters of recommendation from my friends Brad Guigar and Delfin Barral, (Both members in good standing) as well as a unanimous vote of approval from the NCS, I'm now an official member!

My art on Ebay?

I guess this is a milestone for me. I'm pretty sure this is the first time a sketch by me has been put up on ebay!
It's a sketch of Popeye I doodled in San Diego, and it's going for a very reasonable 15 bucks! The proceeds go to a good cause, the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund! So why not drop by ebay and put in a bid to help out the CBLDF?

LOVE THE DANGO!

Hey everybody, this fun little crossover betwixt the NIGHT OWLS and LOVE THE DANGO comes courtesy of Manekochan, AKA Amber Stone. Her comic is in Zuda's January Competition, so check it out, and remember to VOTE!

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.
