Digger: The Complete Omnibus by Ursula Vernon
5.0
Yes, it starts a little slow, but when you get to the myth backstory, you won't be able to stop! Quite an accomplishment for a story about a wombat.
The matriarchal society of the hyenas is particularly fascinating, not just for the fact that it's run by women, but because of their myths. Even more compelling is the story of Ed. When you finally get it, you'll need to take a minute to think, because it hits hard.
Connected to the hyena's female-led society, I'd like to find out when we discover that Digger is herself a female, since I didn't find out until I was reading a wikipedia article! It's never important. Digger has no romantic interests, and you get the feeling that's not just because there's no other wombats around. She's got things to do and she's going to do them and only after is she going to enjoy herself.
The webcomic itself is free online, but this print version gets you a LOT of extra text material, and even an extra comic story. A great deal, I'd say.
