bloodyrosemccoyHey, dudes!
Ursula Vernon’s smashing webcomic, Digger has its own website! No more subscriptions necessary! No moreborrowing my password to read the hidden archives! You can read the whole thing!
I hate it when people say, “If you’re not reading this comic already, then what’s wrong with you?”,* so instead I’ll just note that this is one of the best comics I’ve ever read for one very specific reason: the main character is logical. You rarely find protagonists, much less heroes, whose actions are considered and reasonable, who go on quests not because of some high-minded ideal but because dammit that’s the best choice, and who plan out their next moves carefully. You also rarely find a comic that tosses in stuff you learned as an anthropology major.
Also, the Shadowchild is adorable.
What I’m saying here is: if you’ve got a day for an archive binge, my friends, have I got a website for you.
*I do it, too, but I hate it when other people do it.
