Update #6: Owen and Lizzie
Posted on September 15, 2009
Backers are in for a lot of words from Justin in the next few days, so I thought I'd balance it by introducing you to two of The Wonder City's pivotal characters, brother and sister, Owen and Lizzie (from page 7 of the book). Owen is curmudgeonly (I'll have to trust my instincts on the spelling of that word) and Lizzie is a typical little sister (I'm looking at you, Kirsten). Actually, sometimes I feel like this panel embodies Justin and my relationship as we work on the book.
"T-squares are dumb."
"You're the dummy who made me draw these straight lines."
Owen's green thumb is an important ongoing theme throughout the story. Hint: keep an eye on anyone who can grow stuff!

Although friends for 10 years, Courtney and Justin first hatched their writer-artist partnership 5 years ago. During that time they have produced a short comic on the history of coffee called COFFEE: ADVENTURES OF THAT INTERNATIONAL SUPERHERO and currently have been hired by the Friends of Nick Foundation to script and draw it's 3 comic educational program manuals called ADVENTURES OF LITTLE i. All the while they've been slaving away on their first love, THE WONDER CITY.
