Oh boy! OH BOY!

So, those of you that have known me for any significant length of time may have heard that I am very fond of a comic called Digger. It's by an artist named Ursula Vernon, who you may have also heard of heard of from me. In addition to her dubious honor of having birthed the image of the Lolwut Pear -- http://ursulav.deviantart.com/art/The-Biting-Pear-of-Salamanca-29677500 -- and here is my proof.
So. Ursula, in addition to drawing bizarre tea labels and fruit-as-wildlife or fruit-as-surrealist horror, or giant that's-obviously-a-penis rock formations for the spite of it when people accuse her old art of having suspiciously phallic rock formations in it when that was *not* the original intention, has a webcomic called Digger. It has a no-nonsense wombat protagonist who has suddenly found herself in a very, very, strange world--the kind with gods and talking statues and hyena people that want to eat her. And vampire squash. And something that just might be a baby demon that seems to have attached onto her as a mother figure and asks really complicated moral questions.
In other words, you should read this. Really really.
