If I recall correctly, this is the page whereupon Digger’s pectoral muscles most resemble mammary development, giving her a vaguely feminine figure. They aren’t mammaries, of course, because – being a marsupial – Digger doesn’t have those. At least not in a form or location we can see without getting EXTREMELY personal.
You do poignant so well …
Names being eaten.. this makes me think of Le Guin’s Tombs of Atuan – Tenar’s name is taken, and she becomes Arha, the Eaten One.
hey good call on that. another Ursula nonetheless. a great little series of books that was.
Digger’s stare in panel 3 made me laugh for some reason.
Prolly because that’s the EXACT same face I’d be making.
