Digger: Difference between revisions

** The Statue of Ganesh also gives a few [[A Worldwide Punomenon|stonefaced]] deliveries.

{{quote|"Since I am capable of neither hermaphroditic reproduction, nor of moving myself about by means of a slime trail, I daresay that slugs can do ''many'' things that I cannot do. I confess, however, that I do not feel any particular grief over this lack."}}

* [[Determinator]]: Comes close to [[Why Won't You Die?]]. Digger's initial response to being shot with a crossbow quarrel is:

{{quote|'''Digger:''' "Okay, yeah, maybe, but a really ''crappy'' crossbow. It doesn't have a crank... so you have to draw it... manually... so while you're reloading I can... walk right up... and..." {{[[[Written Sound Effect]] Thud!}}] "Ow."}}

* [[Immune to Fate]]: Helix's bloodline, [[Loophole Abuse|with the exception of oracular slugs]].

** Subverted, actually. One can't make a prophecy about them directly, but they're still fully covered by fate and won't be breaking any other prophecies.

* [[It Got Worse]]: [[Only Sane Employee|Poor Digger]]...[[Broken Bird|poor Murai]]... {{spoiler|[[Growing Up Sucks|poor Shadowchild.]] [[Fate Worse Than Death|Poor Ed.]] [[Who Wants to Live Forever?|Poor He-Is.]]}} Yeah, it really got worse.

* [[Just in Time]]: [http://www.diggercomic.com/?p=787 When Digger et al. return from their mission to the monastery.]

** Ed the hyena. [[The Lion King|Think about it.]]

* [[Shown Their Work]]: Specifically, the bits about hyena biology and their absurdly high infant mortality rates for first births, and the mythology created about it. Lots and lots of random anthropology, too, since the creator has a degree in it.

* [[Speech Bubbles]]: Most characters have black text on white speech bubbles, but the Shadowchild has white on black speech bubbles, the cold servants speak in white-on-black with their sentences broken up into multiple bubbles ([http://www.diggercomic.com/?p=303 like so]), ghosts speak in translucent bubbles, the god Ganesh speaks in blocky bubbles, the skin lizards speak in an entirely different font from everyone else, and when a character is whispering the edge of the bubble is in dashes.

* [[Strange Syntax Speaker]]: [[Self-Demonstrating Article|The--cold servants--communicate--in--an unusual--manner. One--speech bubble--per--concept. Telepathy--is the--]] [[Fanon|favoured--fan--theory.]]
