''[[Erma]]'' is a horror-comedy [[Web Comic]] by Brandon Santiago, about a child named Erma (who happens to be half-ghost) and her [[Genre Savvy]] classmates. Updates irregularly, but usually one or two strips each week (except that the last 13 days in October get a colour comic each day, followed by the strip going on hiatus in early-to-mid November). Read it at [https://tapas.io/series/Erma Tapas].
{{tropelist}}
* [[As You Know]]: In [https://tapas.io/episode/950059 this strip], telling the readers how [[Our Monsters Are Different]].
* [[Mundane Utility]]: A resourceful classmate tries to demonically summon Erma to ask for notes. The summoning worked but we don't see if she actually got the notes.▼
* [[Character Title]]
* [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]]: [https://tapas.io/episode/262954 "Silent Night"]
* [[Literal-Minded]] and [[Comically Missing the Point]]:
** [https://tapas.io/episode/532239 "Hey, Erma, you mind poking your head in through the wall and... Okay... I didn't mean it like ''that''..."]
** [https://tapas.io/episode/823310 "I feel like going out and painting the town red!"]
* [[Mugging the Monster]]: in the strip [https://tapas.io/episode/854723 "Down To Clown"], a stock horror-movie [[Evil Clown]] tries to capture Erma... Have pity on the Evil Clown, because Erma didn't.
* [[Oh Crap]]: The local boys might have Erma [https://tapas.io/episode/262957 Surrounded] and snowballs ready to fly, but ''that isn't good enough.''
* [[Paint the Town Red]]: Discussed after a fashion in [https://tapas.io/episode/823310 this strip], but never actually happens.
* [[Poltergeist (trope)|Poltergeist]]: Erma, who has poltergeist powers. This makes her regular dentist trips frightening to everyone.
* [[Shout-Out]]: So many that the list is now on [[Erma/Trivia|the Trivia subpage]].
* [[Show Within a Show]]: "Warrior Unicorn Princess", Erma's favorite cartoon. Clearly styled after ''[[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic]]'', complete with a nickname for fans ("wupers"). Funnily enough, Erma is exactly the target demographic of the show, but considers it a [[Guilty Pleasure]].
** To be fair, Amy and Terry [[Animation Age Ghetto|react as if they've "outgrown" the show]] when [https://tapas.io/episode/793298 Sidney mentions liking it.]
** ''Warrior Unicorn Princess'' has been [[defictionalized]] - a comic book is available at the ''Erma'' website.
* [[Stringy-Haired Ghost Girl]]: The character designs of Erma and her mother are strongly influenced by this archetype.

* [[Television Portal]]: [http://bjsinc.deviantart.com/art/Erma-Always-Remember-505402656 Erma forgot her lunch].
* [[Webcomic Time]]: [https://tapas.io/episode/953032 At the start of 2018], the family left on a trip, and got Erma's babysitter Felicia to look after their pet dog Siris.
