1* LimitedSpecialCollectorsUltimateEdition: The Kickstarter for the 10th anniversary collection offered both a "limited edition" and a "collector's edition".
2* ShownTheirWork: As mentioned in the main article, Vernon has a bachelor's degree in anthropology and the various {{Mythopoeia}}s within the comic are extraordinarily fleshed out and believable. There are also several full {{Shout Out}}s to real-life beliefs.
3* ThrowItIn: The hyenas [[https://diggercomic.com/blog/2007/02/21/digger-19/ started out this way]].
4--> "The thing that constantly astonishes me about doing ''Digger'' is how things I thought of ''two seconds'' before drawing the comic develop such a life of their own. Five hundred pages later, Ed is far and away the most beloved character in ''Digger'', his culture's been fleshed out in bizarre and intricate ways, but at the time I drew him, he was just some drooling hyena monster that I decided to throw at Digger because I couldn't get the muzzle right when I tried to draw a bear."
5* WritingByTheSeatOfYourPants: According to WordOfGod, the majority of chapter one, since she didn't realize she'd be writing a massive, multi-chapter epic. This includes the introduction of characters who would go on to become important members of the cast, such as Ed and the Shadowchild. Lampshaded by Ursula herself, who comments in [[http://www.diggercomic.com/?p=62 one strip]], "If it wasn't for the seat of my pants, I'd have no plot at all." The plot does get more structured from then on, however.
