This led me to my second thought, about expected reader. Digger, while having fight scenes, does not have very explicit violence the way that Watchmen does. The first difference I noticed was violence content. In reading Digger, I was intrigued by the many differences between it and Watchmen. While available in book form, my experience with Digger is solely through the internet. The webcomic – like a graphic novel in that its focus is not comical and has a plot – is about a wombat named Digger-of-unnecessarily-convoluted-tunnels, but usually called Digger (pictured above). This paper is a short exploration of the contrasts between the webcomic Digger and the graphic novel Watchmen as well as an exploration of gender and technology in Digger. Note: This may spoil the plots of both Watchmen and Digger.
