I fell down the Digger tunnel myself, this summer, after lilysea recommended the newest children's book by Vernon and spiralsheep raved about Digger specifically. I never managed to read it all in one go, but it still kept me up for later-than-they-should-been bedtimes, over the course of a week or so.
I agree with your review.
I think the feel of the abrupt ending was exacerbated by our mode of reading it as we did. I went back, after I finished, an checked the dates each panel was put up online, originally. The time between the reveal that [major spoiler] and the end actually spans over four months (from early November to mid-March). ---
Oh, and a couple days after I finished reading that, I woke up to news on the radio that some (local? maybe?) mayor was asking citizens to pray, to help fix all the potholes in the city's roads. I could hear Digger muttering obscenities over that foolishness.
