Titmouse Vol. 1 is not a cartoon.  It is also not a comic book, not a magazine, and it’s not a book–it’s a MOOK, a magazine-book.  Like Sushi, MOOK is an addictive Japanese concept that will take the world by storm.  It also goes great with saké, with a significantly lower risk of succumbing to the paralyzing effects of mercury poisoning.

We have assembled a team of weirdo artist-types to create this 100 page hardcover anthology and printed it in full color on fancy paper featuring comic strips, paintings, and interviews from some of the art world’s most interesting individuals.  It’s 1/3 Heavy Metal, 1/3 Mad Magazine, 1/3 Juxtapoz, and 1/3 Ralph Bakshi film-on-paper, fancy paper.  ****Titmouse vol. 1 is so revolutionary, it occupies 4/3rds the referential time and space of normal media.****

You might ask yourself or a friend, why cartoon company want make book? Chief editor and studio president, Chris Prynoski said, “I wanted to make this book, because I wanted to read a book like this, and that’s why I wanted to make it.”  Art Director, Antonio Canobbio, is French–so you know the stuff in Titmouse Vol. 1 is real art!

Titmouse vol. 1 features artists of comic book and animation fame including:

  • Tommy Blacha
  • Freddy Christy
  • Dave Cooper
  • Steven Daily
  • Jacob Escobedo
  • Dave Fremont
  • Kaori Hamura
  • Paul Harmon
  • Dave Johnson
  • Kelsey Mann
  • Richard Mather
  • Travis Millard
  • Israel Sanchez
  • Jon Schnepp
  • Andy Suriano
  • Otto Tang
  • And a special drawing by one of our “Hollywood Neighbors.”
Titmouse vol. 1 is intended for the enjoyment of consenting adults.  It is for mature audiences.  Not like a porno, but like an 80s comedy.
 

Digital comics: Nemesis or sidekick to comic book culture?

Some say the animation and sound effects threaten the aesthetic foundation and could wipe out comic shops. Others say the medium is bringing badly needed new readers and innovation.

Meltdown ComicsChris Rosa manages Meltdown Comics in Hollywood. New readers who become interested in digital comic books might eventually want to collect paper issues, but “the jury is still out on that one,” Rosa said. (Rick Loomis / Los Angeles Times / July 21, 2010)
