'''''Gold Digger''''' is a [[Long Runners|long-running]] US comic from [[Antarctic Press]] with [[Animesque|manga-inspired art]], written and drawn by Fred Perry. The first appearance of the characters was in the anthology title '''Mangazine''' Vol. 2 #11 (September, 1991). They then got their own eponymous 4-issue miniseries (September 1992-March 1993). This proved successful enough to make ''Gold Digger'' Vol. 2 an ongoing. 50 regular issues were published between July 1993 and June 1999, plus a number of annuals. These issues were mostly in black-and-white. The series was then relaunched as a full-color series. Vol. 3 started in July 1999 and is still ongoing.
The story centers around the adventures of the kind, nerdy, and idealistic [[Hot Scientist]] [[Gadgeteer Genius|inventor]], [[Adventurer Archaeologist|archaeologist and explorer]] Gina Diggers; and her [[Boisterous Bruiser]], [[The Fashionista|fashionista]], [[Last of His Kind|were-cheetah]] adopted sister/bodyguard, Britanny "Cheetah" Diggers, as they search the world (and others) for relics of the distant past.
Line 111:
* [[Innocent Innuendo]]/[[Accidental Innuendo]]: Julia Diggers' longtime friend Karia is referred to as the "Queen of Oblivious Innuendo," because she '''never does''' figure out that the phrasing she uses when talking about their martial arts sparring often sounds like she's describing lesbian sex.
* [[Ki Attacks]]: Several of the martial artists, especially the ninjas, and Ryan Tabbot.
* [[Kid From the Future]]: Brianna's, somewhere around ten years old. Which led to Brianna discovering she was pregnant, presumably with this girl. '''Then''' the future version of Britanny's daughter Tifanny showed up to retrieve her cousin, and in the process drop a [[She
* [[Killer Rabbit]] —er, Wabbit.
* [[Kudzu Plot]]: A pretty bad case, highlighted by the fact that the websites hawking the comic often contain cover previews and summaries for upcoming issues… but then Fred gets an itch to go growing the plot in some other direction entirely, and the previewed issues often have completely different covers and subjects, with the original plots dropped to be completed off-camera, if that.
Line 196:
* [[Web Comics]]: The "Ayane" and "Northern Edge" Tangent webcomics; both are currently on hiatus. Also, "Level UP!", a ''Final Fantasy XI'' webcomic by the same author.
* [[What Do You Mean It's Not Awesome?]]: Ancient Gina's "Millenium Pimp Slap", one of a class of spells of legendary power, warps space and time to open a portal behind the target—to [[Megaton Punch|let the caster slap him upside the head]]. It requires such nigh-infinite power to execute that it causes EVERY MAGE IN THE SERIES to sense a disturbance in the Force!
* [[What Measure Is a Non-Human?]]: Frequently averted. For instance, Brianna, the lab accident composite clone trying to kill the Diggers sisters, now their gung-ho sister. Or Charlotte, the instant-grown harpy girl accidentally freed from the control of the time-travelling dog who fired her at our heroes, now co-headliner of a [[WAFF
** Immediately after the dog's control was broken, Gina and company discovered that bubble of reality was about to collapse, so they ran for the way out ... taking Charlotte along, even though she was in a stupor and slowed them down. '''None''' of them were willing to just leave her behind.
* [[Who Names Their Kid "Dude"?]]: A little girl claiming to be Brianna's [[Kid From the Future|daughter from the future]] showed up. Her name? Roquette -- pronounced "Rocket." Someone else said, "What kind of mother would name their--" and Brianna interrupted, "Whoa! Whatta '''cute name'''!"
