i was going to get some work done tonight
and then Mike the Vomacka showed me Digger.
Powerful black-and-white art, fascinatingly bizarre characters, a gripping storyline, and arseloads of tongue-in-cheek references to geology and obscure religions. And it's about an agnostic wombat. And dead gods. And a wide-eyed silhouettey thing that eats shadows.
The cartoonist claims she was inspired by Bone, and I can see that--the world she creates is simultaneously dark and silly in that same kind of way, and is imbued with that same subtle sense of breathless wonder. This is a comic good enough to go commercial (and it sort of has).
