Owly: Breakin' the Ice

Free Comic Book Day: Owly #2006

by Andy Runton

The Owly stories have distinguished themselves by their simple charm and innocence, so it’s quite a surprise to find a story offering a great deal of excitement and danger to the characters.

One winter day, Owly and Wormy are sitting under a tree, bundled against the cold. A flock of geese land on the other side of the pond, tired from their annual migration. Accompanied by their chipmunk friend Scampy, they offer the geese some corn; unfortunately, the geese and Scampy get into an argument. Can Owly figure out some way to patch things up?

All together aawwww. :)
