sgsguru 2D Goggles Charles Babbage and Ada Lovelace fight crime. The author is doing some heavy- duty research into the life of Babbage, and is having 'way too much fun with it. The Nineteenth Century was packed with weirdos (or, to be polite, eccentrics) that make our current crop of nutcases look positively tame. As an eccentric, Babbage was Right Up There.
Also, Babbage and Lovelace have a gig with the BBC!
Digger Ursula Vernon is one of the funniest people on the Web (or at least on LJ) (anyone who could draw this is seriously warped in some very interesting directions) Digger (or to give her full name, Digger of Unnecessarily Convoluted Tunnels) is a wombat who made a wrong turn somewhere and ended up a long way from home. In this mythos, wombats are solidly pragmatic and unimaginative civil engineers. Digger has to deal with prophetic slugs, vampire squash, exiled hyenas, assorted gods, and the conviction that she's the only sane one in a hundred miles.
The problem with web comics is that, once you read all the back issues, the progress of the story is absolutely glacial. I appreciate that the artist puts a terrific amount of work into each comic, and I'm sure it would be easier if I just waited until an entire volume came out and read it all at once. Unfortunately, I'm not that much into deferred gratification.
