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, and most importantly, buying Towner's Complete Collection book, or buying his children's book.
