Perry and Penny Winkle moved from the big city to a small rural town in Southern Oregon. The valley they moved to start a new life is in the Osiyo Valley. In Cherokee, “Osiyo” (pronounced oh-see-yo) is the word for “hello”. It carries a deeper meaning of welcome and hospitality, signifying that it is good to see someone. Here are some versions of the valley found in the First Comic Book : The Winkles Meet the Neighbors.
