Ursula Vernon recently mentioned that this article is a strong part of the basis for the myth of the Black Mother and the Good Man in Digger (which if you aren’t reading, you should. Pony up the $3 for the archive, you won’t regret it.) The fact that these children are developing their own religion on the fly is fascinating enough, but to see the darkness inherent in it really says a lot about where we’ve left our homeless families — and what we think of ourselves as a people. There’s still hope, but we have so much work to do.

Digger, by Ursula Vernon, is an awesome black-and-white comic about a wombat. You should be reading it. Right now, because Digger’s up for an award, the archives are free, so read up!

Oh, and this Digger* made me giggle.

subscription required most of the time, sorry. but it’s worth the money!

A few interesting comics:

• Since I finally saw Star Wars III last night, this comic is really funny Make sure to note the date of the comic.
• I can picture my sister having this problem.
• The Digger archives are free for a limited time - the art alone makes this one worthwhile.
