There’s a certain amount of purity that comes with that. For me he’s sort of based on all the stuff I loved as a kid, wrapped it up into this little owl.Īnother reason people like it is they can sense I enjoy it. ![]() In an interview with Connect Savannah (quoted at Largehearted Boy, the original article seems to be gone), Andy Runton said this:Ĭonnect Savannah: Why do you think people relate to Owly?Īndy Runton: People relate to Owly because he’s this predator by nature, but he chooses to be kind and nice and make the world a better place. Whoa! I just thought it was that sound everyone made when things were cute.) (Wait, is that what squee is actually defined as? Because I just figured that out. I will be reading this entire series, saving them for when life gets me down and I need a happy reminder that there are things in this world that are so adorable you audibly squeal with glee. This isn’t even from The Way Home & The Bittersweet Summer, but it was the best illustration of angry eyes I could find. That’s the whole reason I chose the picture on the right. Because you know what a lack of words does for this comic? Angry eyes! The cutest angry eyes I have ever seen. Some comics would suffer from this, but not Owly. He doesn’t use many words, instead relies on his images and onomatopoeic words to tell Owly’s story. If there ever was a definition squee, this would probably be it.Īndy Runton probably draws the cutest comics I could imagine. Whatever the reason, Owly was probably written for me. I have a very fashionable affinity for owls. ![]() Seriously, Owly is the kind of book you read when you are having a bad day and you need remember just how cute life can be. There are times when I can be as objective as possible and leave my emotions at the door. There is a time when I can hem and haw about how I felt about something, writing post after post about how my expectations just weren’t met, or about how my expectations were met and, possibly, exceeded. Listen, there is a time and place for me to be concerned with the state of comics and what makes a great one, a good one and an okay one. ![]()
