Digger (webcomic)

Digger is a webcomic drawn and written by Ursula Vernon, and published in print form by Sofawolf Press.

In the opening pages, Digger is tunneling alone through the ground, lost and dazed after being intoxicated by a pocket of bad air.

The comic describes her experiences and encounters in the temple, nearby village and surrounding area as she seeks information on the whereabouts of her warren, how she came from there to her present location, and how she might get back.

Other characters encountered include the hyenas of Grim Eyes' tribe, human villagers and farmers, human bandits, the acolytes of Ganesh's temple (some of whom hide a disturbing secret beneath their hoods), metaphorical pigeons, skin lizards, a dead god and its servants, and vampiric squash.

[12] Lauren Davis of io9 and ComicsAlliance called Digger an "oddball epic"[13] and praised the titular heroine as an unusual fantasy protagonist and "a delight to watch", citing her pragmatic but softhearted nature, her frankness, and her strong moral center and sense of etiquette.
