lol, again with the stoned confused face in panel two. some how digger looks the best when she’s at her worst.

hag- “Errr, I might have kinda turned you into a junkie. sorry ’bout that.”
digger- “…”
“Right, then. when’s breakfast, and where’s my piece?”
‘Sayings’ are the distilled wisdom of a culture. One of the reasons our (western) culture is so dreadfully borked in a number of ways is because we have replaced useful sayings with useless pop-phrases like “I’m ok, you’re ok”.

to be honest we have just as many sayings as she does. she just presents them very differently than we do so that they are alot more memorable. Also she directly knew who said the sayings.

I laugh at Trogdog’s comment while producing nothing contributory of my own!
Digger is a hoopy frood who really knows where her pickaxe is.
