History Webcomic / MaddieOnTheIslandHue

''Maddie on the Island Hue'' was a Slice of Life webcomic by British transportation artist Ruairidh [=MacVeigh=]. Set in the summer of 1985 the story follows 17-year-old Madison "Maddie" Stephanie Grey, an upper class girl from Plymouth in Devon who moves with her parents to the remote Scottish island of Hue in the Outer Hebrides due to her marine biologist father getting a job there. Although she initially finds it hard to adjust to living on an island of only 14 people where she lacks most of her high class luxuries (as well as experiencing some oddities like an outdoor shower), Maddie soon befriends some of the island's younger residents: Siobhan Pattinson, a nervous but well meaning girl who sold her their new house on the island (due to being the daughter of Hue's housing agent), Andy Taylor, the island's wild mechanic who lives next door to Maddie, Ebony Larsson, an upbeat sheep farmer and an open lesbian, and Matthew "Matt" O'Rourke, the son of the island's priest, and Andy's best friend. After Matt departs for a while due to his parents living in different places, he later returns to the island joined by his girlfriend Rhia from Ireland. Maddie often finds herself going to great lengths to solve her friends' personal problems.

* NamesTheSame: Andy Taylor from this story is not to be confused with the sherrif from ''LiveActionTV/TheAndyGriffithShow''.

* AwesomeMcCoolname: Ebony's middle name is Alfhild, which means "Battle of the Elves" in Norse. She is rather proud of her Viking heritage.

* FoeYay: Some parts with Siobhan and Ebony can come off as this, especially since we know Ebony is a lesbian. [[spoiler: Though this isn't quite a straight example as the two are only PRETENDING to hate each other. And when Siobhan comes out as bisexual later in the comic, the two actually do hook up.]]

* HypotheticalCasting: [=MacVeigh=] reveals [[http://maddie-maze.deviantart.com/art/Potential-Voice-Actors-673928914 here]] which actors he'd like to play his characters if the comic was turned into an animated TV series or movie. Specifically, he chooses [[Creator/EllieKendrick Ellie Kendrick]] as Maddie, [[Series/PeakyBlinders Adam Lawrence]] as Andy, [[Film/GuardiansOfTheGalaxy Karen Gillan]] as Siobhan, and [[Series/{{Fortitude}} Mia Jexen]] as Ebony.
