A message from Dr. Frogg

•May 3, 2009 • Leave a Comment

Twelve years ago my mom bought me a tadpole. She had to take care of it until I was old enough to do it myself. By then, Dr. Frogg was a mature male bullfrog. It was hard to keep Dr. Frogg away from our cats. The good doctor liked to scare the cats with his loud croaking.

I was okay with the croaking. So Dr. Frogg rested in a cage on my dresser.

After I woke up one morning (I think I was awake), I was surprised to find  Dr. Frogg talking to me.

TALKING.

“R-r-rob the bank, Jake!”  he said.

“Do WHAT?” I replied.

“R-r-rob the bank,” he said. “R-r-ROBBITT!!”

“What?”

“RROBBIT!!”

I went to tell my mom but she told me to go back to sleep, that I was having a weird dream.

After that, I ignored all the sounds that Dr. Frogg was making in my direction.

I later found out that my little brother was whispering along with the frog to convince me to r-r-rob the bank.  Why, I’ll never know.

So I gave little brother a w-w-w-wedgie.

Ideas for new storylines

I have many storylines on the hook  right  now but the one I’m giving the most attention to is still in the writing stage…its called Hunt. Its about four bountyhunters:

A cyborg: Captain Preston views himself as a badass with a cybersuit, but he behaves like his ship is a democracy.

A droid: N1-ck  is a bountyhunter droid who obtained emotions after a malfunction. He is currently in a romantic relationship with the human female on the ship.

The alien: Zasha Rutra looks like a female to us but her hair is actually tentacles and she is a guy on her planet.

The human: Was captured off on the side  while they were on a mission. then became a crew member within 3 years of her capture under the tutelage of  n1-ck  but doesnt know he isn’t human yet . I’m going to make it a big suprise. “heh heh”

What a day

Jake Tinsley thumbing through his Two Fisted AdventuresI’ll never forget the day I saw my first comic in print. At the time, my dad lived in Las Vegas. He took me to a comic book store, and there it was: Two Fisted Adventures # 1.

It was a dream come true to see the character I dreamed up so many years ago come to life in my very own comic book.

That was a great day.

Night Owl and The Superhero Jake

•April 2, 2009 • Leave a Comment

I started dreaming up superheroes almost as soon as I could walk. Night Owl, the main character in my comics, is a normal 12-year-old boy by day who inherits superhuman powers after his grandfather’s untimely death.

Night Owl, with his signature glowing green eyes and red freckles, evolved from a character I originally called The Superhero Jake, who would sleep on the angel of justice in downtown Fort Worth and watch over the children of the city. If any child called for help, The Superhero Jake would zoom to their defense.

A powerful Shaman, Night Owl is charged with protecting the balance of the universe. His powers include strength, ability to see the future and to fly, and near invulnerability.

 Night Owl’s alter ego, Zack Finley, wears glasses to mask his identity.
