Digger
Posted to Media category
I had been hearing about an online comic called Digger that was supposed to be very good. It recently moved to a new site that made it more accessible, and I finally looked into it.
It is very good. Very philosophical and with great charcaters who are vivid both individually and culturally. The art (black and white only) is beautiful.
The heroine, Digger, is a sentient wombat who inadvertently tunnels to somewhere strange.
Other characters (so far: I'm about 3 months into the archive) include: the statue of Ganesh, a "shadowchild" who doesn't know who or what he is, Ed the outcast hyena, Second Librarian Vo, the Oracular Slug and the temple rats (little furry librarians).
It seems to have started in February 2007, but generally updates Tuesdays and Thursdays so the back story is not huge. The beginning is here.
