I warned you on Friday that we may need a full three panels solely dedicated to the incredibly complex characters known as The Owltons. Today’s strip features Mr. Owlton doing what he does best: dramatic zooms for absolutely no purpose.
This is the last time we’ll see the Owltons for some time, I think. I’m contemplating doing some bonus strips of The Owltons for when I get the first Happle Tea book printed. I’ve known for some time that I wanted to include some bonus materials to people helping support the site in such a way, and have been kicking around what sorts of things I could, reasonably, pull off. Future K and Benjamin Franklin Rex is a definitely possibility. Now we’ve also got The Owltons. You guys are sure in for a treat.
I’m glad people seemed to like the video of me drawing the strip. If you missed it, here’s the link again.
We will return to our regularly scheduled mythological monster madness on Friday.
Hating Tuesdays? It’s so fresh! So new!
So, StumbleUpon brought me to this one hahah
Go go Scott!
That calander has a few days cut off… namely my birthday *sad face* I thought I might see the 18th and be all “GLEEEEEE” but that is for not!
Dude… that owl looks pissed in the extreme closeup. I have a feeling he is going to transform into a Dire Owl, thus the loathing for Tuesdays. Those eyes, those giant unblinking yellow eyes! Mein Gotts! They are coming for me!
@Ryoff You’ve discovered part of the lore of the dire owls! A dire owl is created when strong feelings of hatred are generated toward a given object or concept. Owls are intelligent and wise creatures and they never forget something that has earned their ire. Eventually, hatred is all they can think about, thus the physical and emotional metamorphosis begins…
Mr. Owlton hasn’t got long before he turns.
/clap
Oh no! What ever shall I do? How does one protect themselves from a Dire Owl? Can I give offerings of rodents to appease him, or will feeding him bring more? “The Birds” will seem like Barney compared to the Dire Owls!
Now that you said that, I can totally see this guy with his blank face standing in the doorway with a kitchen knife. The rest of the family best sleep with one eye open.
Even better, a spin-off of the spin-off owltons called…OWLTRONS. Robot dire owls?
PURE. GOLD.
Simplicity. Owl. Stupid face. Closeup. Awesome!
My birtthday is on the calender. 17th. W00T!!
