The Night Owls Get Animated

THE NIGHT OWLS, based on the comic strip from Zuda Comics, is about to start its 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 them online at www.theuntitledproject.com.

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.

THE NIGHT OWLS is about 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.
