History ComicBook / GoldDigger

--> '''Britanny:''' Do you know how many gals would '''kill''' for [[BuxomIsBetter a nice, firm set]] like '''yours'''??? What man wouldn't fall all over himself just to get to '''talk''' to you? From now on, when you think of guys, think of [[HeroicBuild broad, masculine chests...!]] ''(Gina looks "bewildered")'' [[ChickMagnet Strong, handsome buns!!]] [[EstrogenBrigadeBait Hard, rugged muscles...!]] ''(A small smile graces Gina's lips)''And all of the warm, yummy things you can do with them...!]] ''(Gina's face breaks into a full-blown CheshireCatGrin.)''

* BaldWomen: Zelda, one of Talon's employees.

* LovableSexManiac: Britanny (until her marriage), and Gina. Ironically, the latter used to be a {{Geek}}y ShrinkingViolet, until her [[TheLadette more outgoing]] sister Britanny had enough of her reclusive attitude and, to make a long story short, broke her out of her box. The result? [[BeyondTheImpossible Gina became "boy-crazy"]] ''[[BeyondTheImpossible by "boy-crazy extraordinaire" Britanny's personal standards]]''. The latter doesn't know whether or not she should regret "helping" her sister.

* {{Atlanta}}: The Diggers family lives in Atlanta, creator Fred Perry's hometown.

* FeministFantasy: Probably one of the most tolerant and evenhanded comics around. No, seriously. The female characters are smart, capable, funny, goofy, distinctive, well-rounded, and memorable, in a diverse and amusing manner reminiscent of TenchiMuyo or UruseiYatsura, and avoid the bland and forced "[[GirlsNeedRoleModels Strong Female Characters]]" pitfalls. They are (un)usually attractive, yes, but Fred makes a continuous effort to represent different body types and give female readers evenhanded "beefcake" treatment.

* TheMinnesotaFats: A LawyerFriendlyCameo of LaraCroft filled this role from off-screen for Gina for a while.

*** It wouldn't be so bad if these things were just done as gags all the time, but often they're ''plot relevant'' in working just like the original reference material. Gina's [[TengenToppaGurrenLagann Lagann]] knockoff's ability to, well, act just like the Lagann is extremely important in the storyline. Same with the [[{{Transformers}} Matrix of Leadership]] {{Expy}} the Edge Guard have (which was transferred in a [[WholePlotReference whole scene reference]] right down to the use of "'Til all are one") (Granted, the Matrix analogue contained a planetoid-sized spaceship in its own pocket dimension, so it didn't function ''quite'' the same. Still, Fred ''does'' love to riff blatantly on ''TransformersTheMovie''.)
*** There was even a Halloween special with one to this very [[TvTropes site]], right after the words [[AnAdventurerisYou "A victor is me!"]], or something to that effect. Gina was pretty much wearing a suit of armor that was essentially made entirely out of trope too if I'm not mistaken. Hell she even commented that she had been up all night browsing {{TvTropes}}. In other words, yeah I think it's safe to say that [[ShoutOut shout outs]] are pretty much the fuel that this comic's engine runs on. [[{{Metaphorgotten}} Y'know if it were a car and ran on fuel and stuff.]]

* TokenLoli: Sheila in her hybrid state, and you could also make a case for Lydia Iceron, both in appearance only.

* XanatosFuneral: Gothwrain
* XanatosGambit: Gothwrain is all about these; most are part of his XanatosRoulette.
* XanatosRoulette: Gothwrain's plan to break free of his enslavement; Dreadwing's plan to take power from Ancient Gina; and Ancient Gina's plan to save the universe, which includes the other 2 roulettes.

** More recent storylines have included prehistoric CaptainErsatz versions of the WesternAnimation/{{Visionaries}}, JayceAndTheWheeledWarriors, the WesternAnimation/{{Centurions}}, GIJoe's Cobra (Earlier, one of Dark Bird's crew is a former member), and StrawberryShortcake and RainbowBrite as a psi-bard and prism battle priestess, respectively. Fred ''likes'' his Captain Ersatzes.

'''Gold Digger''' is a [[LongRunners long-running]] US comic from AntarcticPress with [[{{Animesque}} manga-inspired art]], written and drawn by Fred Perry. The first appearance of the characters was in the anthology title '''Mangazine''' vol. 2 #11 (September, 1991). They then got their own eponymous 4-issue miniseries (September, 1992-March, 1993). Which prooved successful enough to make ''Gold Digger''
vol. 2 an ongoing. 50 regular issues were published between July, 1993 and June, 1999. Plus a number of Annuals. These issues wre mostly in black-and-white. The series was then relaunched as a full-color series. Vol. 3 started in July, 1999 and is still ongoing.

The third sister, Brianna, is the goofy mental and physical combination of Gina and Britanny, accidentally created in the process of removing a curse gained during one of their adventures. She combines Gina's thirst for mysteries, scientific acumen, and libido, with Britanny's low attention span and thirst for action, fashion, or entertainment (plus a portion of her werebeast strength). Hence, she likes action-technology of any kind, especially if explosions are involved. She is usually accompanied by her trademark childlike little Peebo robots.

* HilariousInHindsight: At one point, Perry had been toying with the idea of [[spoiler:permanently killing off ''Britanny'' at the end of the "Oblivion" arc (he didn't)]]. How did he decide whether to go through with it or not? ''A coin toss''.

* BigMonsterCuteName: "Flakey", the 2-kilometer-long kraken.
* BleachedUnderpants: Fred Perry used to draw more adult material, and in fact still does. Gina has her origins in this material, which explains her proportions.

* HiveMind: Array is a variant; each [[MesACrowd new form she creates]] has an independent personality which stays when the body disappears. However, they all share the same general goals.

** Array personifies this trope [[MesACrowd all by herself]], [[IHaveManyNames and herself]], [[SplitPersonality and herself]], [[TheConspiracy and herself]], [[DoppelgangerAttack and herself]], [[LivingWeapon and herself]]... but they're all on the same side - ''her side!''
