''[[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].
