Digger is a black-and-white webcomic by Ursula Vernon. It starts off with a disoriented wombat named Digger-of-Unnecessarily-Convoluted-Tunnels getting lost far from home, and her attempts to get back. Along the way she encounters hyena people, dead gods, the shadow of a dead bird, a talking statue of Ganesh, and some crazy veiled monks. She reacts to all of it with unshakeable Wombattish practicality, a bone-dry wit, and occasional resort to outright sarcasm. She also knows a heckuva lot about digging and architecture.After having been hosted on a subscription site for most of its existence, it is now completely free to read. So go read it. Preferably from the beginning. (NOTE: As of 2017 a handful of pages may not display properly, but can be viewed complete on the Wayback Machine.) A full backup can also be found here.Started in March, 2003. Ended on March 17th, 2011, to the tears of many; though the ending was written just as it had originally been planned, it left enough open questions that some felt it was abrupt. Digger won the Hugo Award for Best Graphic Story in 2012 and the Mythopoeic Award for Adult Literature in 2013.A successful Kickstarter campaign was held for it, with the aim of collecting all six volumes into one omnibus. It has the dubious claim to fame of being the only such Kickstarter, ever, to offer foam pickaxes and pear sculptures as add-ons. Another Kickstarter was held for a 10th anniversary collection from Underthing Press, a publishing imprint founded by Patrick Rothfuss with the goal of reprinting Digger.Character page here. Contributions welcome.

Arbitrary Skepticism: Digger calls herself on this. Digger very quickly accepts the idea of talking statues, sentient shadow creatures, and hunting hyena tribes. But rats being something other than ordinary rats? That's what finally drives home to her how far from home she is.

Cruel and Unusual Death
 Digger (Webcomic) / int_1e584efa
comment
Cruel and Unusual Death: Played for laughs in the story of Lung the Quick, the sculptor who carved the Statue of Ganesh. During his career as Imperial Sculptor, he was only allowed to carve unicorns, as the Emperor believed himself to be one. By about unicorn #5, Lung was completely fed up, but you don't say no to the Emperor, so he psyched himself up to work on further unicorns by imagining increasingly complicated and implausible deaths for his employer—he was at "trapped between two trees and trepanned to death by confused woodpeckers" by the time the Emperor kicked the bucket. (His Imperial Majesty died after eating a blowfish-and-nightshade buffet under the mistaken impression his unicorn powers would protect him.)

Wild Child
 Digger (Webcomic) / int_1ef7232d
comment
Wild Child: Digger at one point suggests that Shadowchild is more or less the demon version of this. Also, apparently wombat children occasionally wander away from the warren and end up being raised by moles. Digger asks Murai if humans have something similar, and Murai blandly replies that "wolves are more common with us."

comment
I'm a Humanitarian: Whatever you say about the hyenas eating other sapient species, they're not hypocrites. What's more, the way they explain their funerary cannibalism has several anthropologically recorded parallels, no doubt due to Ursula having a bachelor's in anthropology before deciding to pursue art.

Chekhov's Gag
 Digger (Webcomic) / int_22cf50f9
comment
Chekhov's Gag: The vampire squash, which first appear to be nothing more that a weird, random worldbuilding tidbit. But later, when Digger is being pursued by the cold servants, she intentionally runs into a field of the vampiric vegetables so that they'll deal with her pursuers. One dropped all the way back on page two is picked up almost at the climax of the entire story.

Chekhov's Gun: All over the place. Though the author admits that she was writing by the seat of her pants during the point where most of these were introduced, so she didn't actually intend to use them when they were first introduced. The ones she did plan on being Chekhov's Guns are straight examples, of course.

 Digger (Webcomic) / int_27a58d30
comment
Carnivore Confusion: Digger tells the Shadowchild that it is wrong to eat anything that can talk, but the hyenas do not share this belief — anyone not in their tribe, talking or not, is not considered a person, and their funerary practices involve eating the liver of their deceased comrade, who was considered a person. Chalk it up to Culture Clash.

Limited Wardrobe: One of the few examples that makes any sense in context — Digger is trapped far from home, and so only has one vest with her, the Veiled all have identical uniforms, the statue of Ganesh's clothes are carved as part of his body, and the hyenas' concept of clothing seems to end at loincloth + warpaint + lots of necklaces = awesome.

Beat Still, My Heart
 Digger (Webcomic) / int_34e095ed
comment
Beat Still, My Heart: Inverted; the heart is not beating on its own, nor is it a sign that its owner is alive. Instead, a team of slaves pulling on ropes are forcing it to beat and keep an otherwise dead god alive against his will, even though the rest of him has rotted away to bones. When the protagonist skeptically lampshades this, pointing out that the heart isn't even hooked up to anything, she receives the explanation that it's the metaphor of the thing that makes it work.

Nay-Theist: Most wombats, it seems, are aware that gods and magic exist, but believe that the world would be better off without them and generally make an effort not to get themselves involved with divinity or magic. Based on some of the hyenas' talk, this isn't an entirely uncommon point of view.

Bittersweet Ending: The Fellowship Has Ended. Ed died and can't even be buried or mourned properly by his people, the Shadowchild has lost its innocence and has left to try to save others of its kind, and Digger will have to live with the trauma and horrific things she has seen. However, Sweetgrass Voice is defeated and He-Is has finally died in peace, Boneclaw Mother will ensure Ed is remembered by his tribe in some fashion, Shadowchild has avoided becoming monstrous like other demons thanks to Digger's mentorship, and thanks to the efforts of the friends she made, Digger finally gets to go home.

Annoying Arrows

comment
Annoying Arrows: Subverted. After defeating all but one of the bandits raiding the village single-handed, Digger is shot in the shoulder with a crossbow at close range. Just when it looks like Digger is going to shrug it off and beat up the guy who did it, she collapses midway through what was probably meant to be her "No More Holding Back" Speech. The fact someone broke off the shaft and got the head wedged under her collarbone did not help; Digger needed immediate and major surgery, was incapacitated for a realistic period of time, and may now be addicted to poppy milk. (She gets better! ...Eventually.)

Also, depending on what gender you think of the Shadowchild as (if you think of it as having a gender at all), they are a Four-Girl Ensemble.

Combat Pragmatist: Ed of all people, when he realized there was no help for Blood Eyes and he had to kill her to save their daughter from her abuse. She was a powerful warrior and he was a puny skin-painter... so he tore out her throat in her sleep when she couldn't fight back. Despite her reputation, Boneclaw Mother is old and frail and knows it. When she needs a way to deal with Jhalm, she puts fast-acting poison on her claws.

Did We Just Have Tea with Cthulhu?
 Digger (Webcomic) / int_4a879f41
comment
Did We Just Have Tea with Cthulhu?: The People, ritually cannibalistic bipedal hyenas who consider any non-hyena sentient fair game when hunting. They turn out to mostly be very nice people once you get to know them, especially Ed, who starts off trying to eat Digger but ends up serving her tea just a few pages later. Also the Statue of Ganesh: Digger instinctively feels all gods are dangerous and best not meddled with but is eventually forced to grudgingly admit the Statue of Ganesh is a good guy. Ursula Vernon likes this trope. A lot. Embarking on her journey with Murai, and having been somewhat more brusque than usual with the Statue, Digger learns the being she was just surly to was not the usual Statue avatar but the actual spirit of Ganesh Himself speaking through His representation.

Alien Gender Confusion
 Digger (Webcomic) / int_4b6d41e3
comment
Alien Gender Confusion: Initially averted with Digger herself, who is always identified as female (when her sex is relevant at all), despite being a furry, cylindrical member of a species nobody else in the story has ever encountered. She had barely visible breasts in early pages, but the artist phased these out later. However, the trope is played straight for the hyenas, with several characters expressing inability to determine their sex. This is Truth in Television: hyena sexes are difficult to tell apart even for those familiar with them.

Clap Your Hands If You Believe: The Black Mother was created when street children adapted their own version of a myth. (Especially tragic, to the point of horrifying, when you realize that the whole process that created her is based on an elaborate set of "secret stories" created by homeless children in Miami.) It is implied that this was not a unique case.

Our Demons Are Different
 Digger (Webcomic) / int_50ed1af4
comment
Our Demons Are Different: Demons can be evil, but the one that gets the most screen time is actually very innocent and mostly just eats shadows. The way Ed explains it, a demon is an "all-thing", beholden to its nature and rarely actively malicious. Fire burns, not because it likes to cause ruin, but because it's fire; demons are similar. Shadow later explains that all previous demons have either been born feral or raised by others of their own kind, and that thanks to Digger, it is the first one to have been raised to be "good". It plans to do something about that. Given that demons can eat shadows and seem to only partly exist in the universe's dimension, they are clearly very strange entities indeed.

Book Ends: A (probably) unintentional example with the chapter covers. Chapter One doesn't have one, because Ursula didn't know she'd be writing a multi-chapter work, and she never went back to do one. Chapter Twelve doesn't have one either, because she didn't want to break up the action, and was looking forward to the opening page she used for that particular chapter (though there's some agreement that it makes a good cover on its own). Consequentially, the first and last chapters are also the only ones without titles.

Strange-Syntax Speaker: The—cold servants—communicate—in—an unusual—manner. One—speech bubble—per—concept. Telepathy—is the—favoured—fan—theory. Ed, too — after being exiled, he spent seventeen years not speaking to anyone before Digger came along (presumably because no one but the hyenas would know where to find him, and they consider him to be unclean since his name was eaten when he was exiled). After years of silence, he simply forgot how to speak and the syntax he uses is his best guess.

Snark-to-Snark Combat: Since about half the cast is made up of Deadpan Snarkers, including the protagonist, this happens often. Most prominent, though, are some of the exchanges between Digger and the statue of Ganesh. By the end of the comic, even Ed, who can't form a grammatically correct sentence, is quipping non-stop with Digger. It subtly shows how much of an influence she's had on him.

In the end, he chooses to go by "Ed".

Names to Run Away from Really Fast: Grim Eyes, Blood-Eyes, Blood-Tail, Shadebones... most female hyenas seem to have them. Even the benevolent ones like Boneclaw Mother. And unless they like you, you'd better run really fast. Even the harmless old male healer has a creepy name. Would you take your medication from a guy called Owl-Caller? Even Digger's honorary hyena name, Little Mother of Earthquakes, is like this. It's even better since it's taken from the name of a goddess that causes earthquakes.

Specific mention of a suicidal re-attached toe that tried to stub itself at any opportunity is made.

Also, depending on what gender you think of the Shadowchild as (if you think of it as having a gender at all), they are a Four-Girl Ensemble.

If I Can't Have You…: Blood-Tail courted Ed when he was just a young skin-painter, but he didn't much appreciate the fact that she was only courting him because he was a surviving firstborn, which in hyena culture makes him a living good luck charm and status symbol. He fell for her mildly unstable but genuinely loving sister Blood-Eyes instead, so Blood-Tail manipulated her sister's instability until she posed an active danger to her daughter, forcing Ed's hand; she is to this day incredibly smug that her brother-in-law was made an Unperson (as the law of the tribe states must be the punishment for killing your spouse), but nobody in the whole tribe is actually in any way deluded about what really happened. Blood-Tail is not a popular lady.

Innocent Awkward Question
 Digger (Webcomic) / int_6a37ac44
comment
Innocent Awkward Question: The Shadowchild doesn't know what it is, and has a habit of asking if it is some thing it's just heard about, such as various animals and objects. During Digger and the Shadowchild's first run-in with the hyena tribe, the hyenas learn that Digger was the guest of an outcast of the tribe — an unthinkable taboo in their culture — and call her a pervert. Cue this whispered exchange:

Meaningful Name: Descending Helix is a direct ancestor of Digger. Thus they share at least some of the same DNA... A lot of hyena names evoke this: Grim Eyes, Skull Ridges, Blood-Tail, Owl Caller... Digger-of-Unnecessarily-Convoluted-Tunnels does seem to have a truly amazing ability to get herself into an unnecessarily convoluted adventures and inadvertently keeps digging herself in deeper.

Ascended to Carnivorism: Digger is forced to do this at one point to become an honorary member of the Hyena tribe, but is horrified by the idea. Turns out her fears were justified; she then gets very, very ill. The hyena tribe also has an inversion of this in one of their origin stories. In hyena mythology, hares were originally carnivores and descended to herbivorism.

Also when Digger eventually does go questing, it's with two other females and a shadow creature of indeterminate sex. In fact, most of the major characters are female or, in the case of the Shadowchild, not indicated to be male or female. But then again, it's complicated because Grim Eyes has a 'male' role in hyena culture while Ed has a 'female' role.

Truth in Television: The creation of the Black Mother, in particular the reasoning devised by the refugee children, is based on a La Llorona mythos that emerged among children in Miami shelters. Ditto about the high infant mortality rate of the firstborn cubs of hyenas. And the myth of vampire squash, although in the comic it actually happens. And the extremely rugged backsides of wombats. Ursula Vernon stories often contain large amounts of Shown Their Work for some of the more ridiculous aspects of biology and mythology.

Third-Person Person: The hyena eventually called "Ed" only refers to himself as "it" until given the nickname, and even then only slowly transitions to using that name for himself. Since his original name was eaten when he was ousted from the hyena community, he doesn't consider himself a person, and he's been alone in exile so long he seems to have forgotten altogether how language structure and syntax work, including first- and second-person pronouns.

Wham Episode
 Digger (Webcomic) / int_8e20979
comment
Wham Episode: An early one happens towards the end of the second chapter. Up till then, Digger has been exploring in a rather happy-go-lucky manner, finding out all the weird things about the world she's in, and, though she does brush with danger a few times, she always manages to escape unscathed. But then she comes across a village that's undergoing a bandit raid, finds an insane priest curled up in a terrified ball, and is shot in the shoulder before her companion eats the shadow of her assailant, knocking him into a fatal coma. It's basically the story's way of saying that things are going to get serious and the plot is going to start rolling in full force. And then, an even more dramatic one at the very climax of the story... Most fans' reactions to it are probably: "Ed, you're okay, right? Ed? ED?!"

 Digger (Webcomic) / int_90687e40
comment
Embarrassing Rescue: Digger tried to justify why she saved Grim Eyes from going over the bridge. She lists several valid reasons, and then ends with "because you just don't let people fall off bridges." Both find this a little awkward.

Name That Unfolds Like Lotus Blossom
 Digger (Webcomic) / int_91f9b1ad
comment
Name That Unfolds Like Lotus Blossom: Sort of inverted. Wombats seem to have rather unpoetic names that reference their occupational habits and skills. Similarly, some hyenas have names that indicate their professions (e.g. Owl Caller, a shaman who probably speaks to birds) but often seem to be based on a physical feature (Grim Eyes, Bloodtail).

What Measure Is a Non-Human?
 Digger (Webcomic) / int_9c45b5a2
comment
What Measure Is A Non Hyena?: Hyenas don't consider non-hyenas people (and thus are fair game to be hunted and eaten, among other things). This isn't absolutely insurmountable, though — Digger, for example, is formally adopted into the hyena clan, and Grim Eyes ends up getting along with Murai and Shadowchild fairly well. She's also fairly amiable towards Herne, but in an incredibly condescending way, and he doesn't share the sentiment.

Shout-Out: Ursula Vernon makes numerous references to her other works in Digger. Ed's cave art contains an Easter Egg shout-out to Conspiracy of Mammals. The hyena people first appeared in her Black Dogs series before appearing in Digger. The first view of the library shows that it includes, among many volumes about chickens and assorted other topics, copies of Alice in Wonderland and The Sandman. The Librarian Vo organizes a series of firsthand accounts about Ursula Vernon's Gearworld and mentions the T'Chang empire that was briefly visited in Black Dogs. And Ursula's book Nurk features the eponymous shrew frequently referencing the journal of his illustrious grandmother, Surka. Ed the hyena, to The Lion King (1994) (the other hyenas have more exotic names).

But it seems to me that I might have a relative at a distant tribe named Ed who fell heroically in battle with a demon not long ago, and it's only appropriate for me to honor him." Digger was adopted into Boneclaw Mother's tribe, and in a way, the wombat was family to Ed... and aren't Digger's biological relatives a long way off? Heeeeey...

No Name Given: "Ed" is unusual in that at one point he had a real name, but it got eaten. Digger decided to name him Ed because she refused to call him "it", as he did. And that one act made... quite a difference. Warning: Contains AWESOME. And spoilers.

Amazon Brigade: Justified. They're hyenas — the females are larger and stronger than the males. Also when Digger eventually does go questing, it's with two other females and a shadow creature of indeterminate sex. In fact, most of the major characters are female or, in the case of the Shadowchild, not indicated to be male or female. But then again, it's complicated because Grim Eyes has a 'male' role in hyena culture while Ed has a 'female' role.

All Girls Want Bad Boys: Gender-flipped. A character clearly states that even after all the horrible domestic abuse, he never stopped loving his partner (which, all things considered, makes it far, far more tragic). Added tragedy is that the situation wouldn't have gotten half so bad if his spouse hadn't been pushed over the edge by her own sibling.

Art Evolution: On the first page, Digger is drawn in a noticeably different way. Grim Eyes the hyena has also undergone some heavy changes from her first appearances. Not even past the first chapter, the style that the comic is drawn in is noticeably different, becoming less detailed and more cartoony. Most notably, Digger goes from having slight, visible breasts under her vest to being more stocky and cylindrical.

Odd Job Gods: Kind of. The Veiled work for all gods, and their specialities are "comparative theology and hand-to-hand combat". Specifically, a few of of the gods mentioned in passing appear to be less-than omnipotent cosmic super-beings, such as Falls-From-Heaven, a god so horrified by the evils of man that he continually faints. Where he lands, groves of exceptional peaches with soporific qualities grow. They are prized by chefs and assassins alike. This can't help the problem any.

Matriarchy: The hyena tribe are mostly a Patriarchy Flip, though with a few original elements as well. Males can hold important posts, but it is shown to be far from the norm: there is only one male, Owl-Caller, on the Elder council, and he is extremely deferential to Boneclaw, whereas the female elders argue with her as near-equals. Justified, since this is how Real Life spotted hyenas operate, with the highest ranked adult male below all females and juveniles in female's care.

All Trolls Are Different
 Digger (Webcomic) / int_fd752bc3
comment
All Trolls Are Different: Especially Surka (who, admittedly, is only a professional troll, and was not born as one), but the normal trolls are pretty strange, too. The cartoonist has actually explained where their design came from: she started wondering why trolls would hate goats so much, and eventually decided they must be the distant ancestors of domestic goats. Imagine how wolves would feel about Chihuahuas if they understood their relationship, and you have the general idea.

Brick Joke: "Are you a talking deer?" Comes up again at the very end when Samuel's bandersnatch refuses to continue by request of a shadow. "It was a very polite shadow." "It asked us if we could talk."

Ursula Vernon stories often contain large amounts of Shown Their Work for some of the more ridiculous aspects of biology and mythology.
