A Towner & Friends Halloween Sampler storyline.
Above are some finished comics that will lead you to seasonal
storylines for the holidays during Towner comics' temporary hiatus. The
reason for the hiatus is that the author is writing,
illustrating, coloring, and publishing
his new graphic novel.
Therefore, he cannot concentrate on both projects at the same time and give each
100%, especially with other graphic art projects and his seasonal
occupations and hobbies as well. But please don't let that stop you, because
he has over 1,000 Chrusher Comic
book & Graphic Novel pages, followed by
over 100
Towner comic strips. The author also completed another extremely successful
2007 season of racing, winning a Championship race and
finishing second overall in total points and wins (to only his brother)
for the gas/stock go-kart championship of New York State (and since the entire
website
was also constructed and updated by him, and he'd like you to check it out)!
Towner, however, will be made available in print form soon. If you want to
see more, please let the author know via
email
or the Towner
webboard!

June 3rd, 2007 Update:
To commemorate the creation of my newest website, The
official GallettasGreenhouse.com, (and its now ad-free sister site,
Galletta's Go-Karts),
I've illustrated my late grandfather, John J. Galletta, who also doubles as
the inspiration for Towner and Mush's grandpa. It has been revised with some added text (by my
mom/John Galletta's daughter/Galletta's Greenhouse owner) and it graced the
pages of a local newspaper called The
Palladium Times during May. Here it is:
April 7th, 2007 Update:
My children's book,
Tee & Wee: Health And Nutrition For
Young Earthlings, is NOW ON SALE! Written by
Robert Buchanan,
and illustrated by
myself,
it has finally come to print, and I received the first copy in the mail and I'm
very proud of it. It took Robert and myself a long time to do, but it is worth
the effort, and I hope you buy one!
In fact, Towner makes a small cameo in this book, making it the first time
Towner has been published in color! Hooray for my lil' buddy! I will have new Towners
later in May, per usual as they double as Galletta's Greenhouse ads, and I plan to have a Towner book compilation
of my strips and possibly some new material as soon as possible. Meanwhile,
Chrusher: End Cycle Graphic Novel
has begun. Please help this struggling artist
by buying Tee & Wee and voting
for Towner and maybe even Chrusher too! Haha! 'Till next time!

About this strip:
Towner was created in 1997
and named after the
author's favorite composer,
John Towner Williams, and is basically a
kid-friendly miniaturization of his own
ChrusherComix characters in a
cute little-kids format. Christopher was inspired by Bill Watterson's
Calvin and Hobbes along
with Charles Schultz's Peanuts and
countless others during my childhood. After failing to get a
newspaper syndicate to take a chance on them, Towner & Friends were
placed in hibernation, only coming out of it to do seasonal
newspaper advertising for his family's greenhouse
and
go-karts
in Oswego, NY. Towner remained in suspended animation
until the
completion of his children's book,
Tee and Wee
when he found
ComicGenesis,
which is a free webhosting and site automation service for
webcomics. Towner, along with his "older brother" comic, "Chrusher",
are brought to the world for the first time online for free! So
enjoy! Unless a syndicate calls, Towner will likely not continue in
strip format (unless by web-viewer request), and will only be seen
in future books and local newspaper advertisements. Unlike most
cartoons and comics in the world today (including
his other webcomic), Towner
is 100% clean of vulgarity and suitable for all-ages. So, if you
think he is a talented cartoonist, you like this kind of clean/cute strip, and
wish for Christopher to continue to expand the Towner collection, then please
consider support him by votes, donations, or
buying his children's book.
