History
Towner was created in 1997 as an all-ages-appropriate, kid-friendly cartoon remix of the author's very own Classic Chrusher Comix [1]. That same year, Towner tried out for all the major newspaper syndicates. When they all passed on the comic, he was placed in suspended animation and occasionally comes out of retirement for seasonal business ads in the author's local newspaper. Towner comics debuted to the general public for the first time when the comics were scanned, occasionally colored, and uploaded at ComicGenesis.com [2] in in October 2005. The author is considering printed recollections and children's books with the characters, but fan support has been nearly non-existent.
Towner and a handful of his friends make a guest appearance in the author's children's book "Tee and Wee - Health and Nutrition for Young Earthlings." [3]

Original cgwiki Entry
Towner Comics [4] started in 1997 as an attempt to create a syndicated comic strip. The author, Christopher Galletta-Stevens, was also creator/artist/writer of Chrusher Comix [5], an award-winning high school newspaper comic strip (and its accompanying unpublished, 18-year serial comic book), and a illustrator/co-creator of a children's book named Tee & Wee [6]. The author is hopeful that if it does not become syndicated, then it will have the potential to become a children’s book or animated series.
