aaaaawwww
I picked this up because I was in a great deal of pain and needed cheering. It worked. So adorbs. Though I feel I have to mention that the “no words” idea isn’t quite followed, as the story would make no sense without reading the brief sentences Owly reads in books.
Owly is a perfectly round owl who cannot fly (his wings are tiny). His best friend is an adorable little worm, whom, given the lack of words again, I have to assume is named Wormy.
In this unbearably adorable comic, Owly encounters a flying squirrel, only to find that flying squirrels are afraid of owls, their chief predator. On his own, Wormy is able to befriend Squirly. While Owly tries to win over Squirly, Wormy is hurt because Owly is unable to fly to rescue him/her/it from a tree. Wormy bravely tried to climb down the tree, but ended up falling. SO SAD.
Adorable flash-back to Owly’s utter failure at flying school when even rounder and cuter. Owly is determined to learn to fly so his friend will not be endangered again!
Seeing how Owly cares for injured Wormy, Squirly decides to brave friendship with top-level predators and teaches Owly how to fly like a flying squirrel. Happy ending all around!
No, I don’t think this entry should be hidden for spoilers because this is not the sort of story you ever doubt the ending of. It’s just cute. 100% uncut, street-illegal grade cute.
