"A wombat. A dead god. A very peculiar epic."

Digger by Ursula Vernon is a story-driven comic (I mean, as opposed to a gag-strip) that has been going for quite a while at a rate of two pages per week.

The main character, Digger, is a wombat, who apparently by nature are very sensible. She finds herself far from home, where things seem a lot weirder...

I'm afraid I'm not very good at summing up things. What I like about this comic:

The simple but effective art.
The humour, which hinges on "oddity", which however usually are part of the story, rather than degenerating to pointless gimmicks.
The feeling of a larger world Ursula Vernon creates by making references to the made-up peoples' mythologies part of the story
The fact that Digger is sensible and pragmatic.

My favourite webcomic. Make sure to have some spare time if you delve into the archives, it's over 600 pages.
