The Night Owls
Login to Add a Favorite
"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!
love it love it love it!
The currently-competing comic Sci-fi Drive-by has some bold predictions about the near-future. Including, if you zoom in on the book cart behind the alien in the library scene, a print version of Night Owls!
Who says he gets defeated?
O.k I don't want to rock the boat too muck here, less I get kicked to hell and back by the Timony brothers and an angry mob of Zuda fans so all I am going to say is this: wont there be... repercussions ... with the death/defeat of the Great Owl?
Great panel design. Very impressive.
Oops, my bad. Ernie said he was a were-human, not a wererat. Note to self: Always double check my posts made after midnight.
I'm a latecomer to your merry hijinks as I have just read page 18. As an obsessive compulsive D&D geek, I must point out that technically Filthy is a ratwere, not a wererat. Seriously guys, I love your comic. I eagerly look forward to 162 more pages of comic enjoyment.
* Standing ovation *
Great job guys! I've loved every update of the Night Owls, and not only did you guys kept the quality high, but also made me care for Ernest, Mindy, Roscoe and the rest!
Ok, jokes over. Wheres the new stuff?
Seriously though, great run guys.
Thanks everybody! This is our first Tuesday without an update. It's a bit of a bummer.
Bravo guys! And ENCORE!! :)
no.... say it ain't so. *sniff sniff* You guys are the awesomesauce. We'll miss you, if you're really gone. :(
Great work guys, I enjoyed it's regular merry high jinx all the way. (o:
Quit Yankin Our Chains n give us th start a th new year! (or announce yer ongoing print series!)
I don't know if I want more strips or if I should just shut up. Loved the comic, though I always felt that it had a format that could go on forever, I also love an ending that doesn't have to tell us everything...
But its just great, the entire narrative ties up nicely and there's really no need to go on at this point! Loved every bit of it, good luck with future projects!
gah! Please don't end without a final battle royale against Night Owl!
You guys I'm so sad this is ending, seriously, I love this comic. I will always treasure my Mindy Markus pin and will tell everyone to go back and read this comic from the beginning!
can't wait to see what project you've got planned next!
Thank you, everyone. I'm floored by the amazing response the Night Owls have gotten. I may be in danger of loosing my charming humility and acting like a big shot instead. :)
Felicidades por este gran comic. Que sea el primero de una larga vida profesional en el mundo del comic.
Congratulations on this great comic. This is the beginning of a long career in the world of comics.
This comic was great. It drew me in and I totally bought in to there strange lives. Great stuff!
Seriously guys, thanks for two years of great comics. The end is bittersweet, but bring on the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny! *thrusts Kirby-esque fist towards screen*
i just read all 180 pages today and umm yeah hooked. Awesome work
Dudes.....Wicked Cool!!!!
sniff...tear...bittersweet. I cant wait to see what's next.
Very nice ending, Timonys. You will be missed.
I know you guys are probably getting all swollen up from all the adulation you're getting 'round these parts, but every word of it is well-deserved. This series has been a joy for me to read from Day One, and not just because I'm lucky enough to know the both of you personally. Night Owls is brilliant. If this is the end of the run, you're going out on a big high, and I can't wait to see what comes next from you both!
I'm new to night owls, Ive never read it till now... and I'm officially hooked. But I'm glad I joined the club late considering I dont have to worry about waiting for updates for a while.
Congrats on a great run fellas! What comes next for the Brothers Timony? Hmmm...........
It's an incredible accomplishment!
That last panel was just what I was hoping for -- but a whole lot MORE too. THANKS, guys!!!
Sweet! Way to go, fellas!
Congrats guys, great finish!
What a fantastic ending to a fantastic comic.
I am very sad now, though.
I can't beleive this is ending...I feel so old. Look forward to more from you guys.
You guys RAAAAWK!!!
Excellent work, guys. I have been enthralled since strip one, and Zuda will not be the same without my twice-weekly Night Owls fix. The kinds of endings that end on beginnings are awesome, as it thrusts those characters right into our imaginations, where they can live on a little longer, so thanks for that.
..
Bring on the book, and whatever you guys have planned next. Twin powers - activate!
Huge congrats guys! 180 pages...sheesh! Love the build up and the final page. Kudos!
Damn, I was like 8 pages behind, and seeing this coming to this point is very strong emotionally!
Please guys, keep working your magic on us!
Please let there be more from the Timony Twins SOON!
Fantastic work guys! I'm also eagerly awaiting the print edition... looking forward to what you have in store for us next!
Bravo fellas. Bravo. A great end to a great comic!
Bravo! Well executed pacing and finish. Can't wait to smell the ink on my printed copy of The Night Owls.
Congrats, can't wait to see what you guys have coming up in the future.
Good show!
NO!!!!!!!!!! How could it end like this? Great strip guys and I can't wait to see whats up your sleeves next!
DANGER: Cliffhanger approaching! Good luck guys. If this is the end of Night Owls (and only insanity on the part of the PTB would make it so) then it's the end of an era for Zuda.
Hey, no fair... How dare you make this... heartwarming. This is exactly the kind of stuff that gets me all misty-eyed... people showing up to support a friend when they make their stand, etc. Well done! plus "I got the sheet" was as classic Roscoe humor as it gets. Good stuff guys, here's to a lot more of it (you aren't stopping now are you?)
We'll still be around, Mr. Jasper. I wouldn't want to miss In Maps & Legends!
But... I just started reading ya! How can it be (almost) over already??? Doh!
I very much appreciate all the kind comments as we head into the final screen. Thanks, everybody.
