Digger by Ursula Vernon

"Digger Is a story about a wombat.

More specifically, it is a story by author and artist Ursula Vernon about a particularly no-nonsense wombat who finds herself stuck on the wrong end of a one-way tunnel in a strange land where nonsense seems to be the specialty. Now, with the help of a talking statue of a god, an outcast hyena, a shadow-being of indeterminate origin, and an oracular slug she seeks to find out where she is and how to go about getting back to her Warren." -description of "Digger" from the published omnibus.

I decided to give this a reread recently. It's been complete for ages and won a Hugo award in 2012. Even though It's been a decade since I first read it, scenes and images from this comic continue to stick with me.
