It may not be the sort of story you like. And, as you're not reading it for the Hugos, it's totally cool if you decide you've had enough.
But, yes, the story has started. Once upon a time, there was a wombat named Digger (well, Digger-of-Unnecessarily-Convoluted-Tunnels, but just "Digger" was fine with her) who got lost very far from home.
I think the art does improve as the story continues, but I'm a bit art-blind. I don't think it's as bad as my jazz-deafness (where jazz, well, yes, it's music and all, but one piece sounds pretty much like another to me). I agree that "artist / author had a deadline" is an explanation, not a pass for substandard work.
