Praise for Sleepy’s Delay:

“Erin Tanner’s brain is one of my favorite places to visit. Like Miyazaki, Henry Darger, Matt Furie, Lisa Frank, and Pendleton Ward all blended into the most refreshing smoothie you’ve ever sipped. Sleepy’s Delay is so funny, sweet, and so completely original it’ll leave you buzzing for days.” - Dan Weiss (McSweeny’s)

“Erin has created a world of wayward adventure filled with lovable, endearing little guys. Strongly recommended for meanderers, daydreamers, and fans of the ethereal.” - Hiller Goodspeed (Double Buddy, Pond Life)

“It’s easy to imagine getting overwhelmed, waking up, and being tasked with the creation of a world, but when accompanied by so many kind and clever characters, it goes down very smooth. This kaleidoscopic creation myth invents a world you will love to spend time in.” - A.T. Pratt (Dot Comics #1, Big Apple Matinee)
