Honey and the Whirlwind
Honey and the Whirlwind is a webcomic that follows Oliver and Abigail as they search for Truth through alchemy, magic, and adventure. It’s a story about dreams, reality, and everything in between. One day Oliver, 21 at the time, helps a woman with the groceries for her daughter's empty 11th birthday party. Oliver tells Abby that it's his birthday, too, and they become fast friends. 5 years later a weird dream of Oliver's involving a childhood friend named Divi causes Oliver to remember everything about magic he knew as a child. This knowledge sends the duo into a dream realm where they begin to learn magic in the hopes of finding Abby's father.
