Written in a fever dream and hastily drawn in a bat cave, Awkward Pause is an anthology collection from Ryan Harby’s popular webcomic series Honey Dill. For the first time in print, fans can read favourites, such as “Percival: The Bad News Bear”, “The Mental Health All-Stars”, “Resume Skillz”, "King of Pies", and “No-Name Halloween.”

Surreal slice-of-life comics that are bound to make everyone chuckle.

Ryan Harby grew up in Winnipeg, a place where cold winters provide ample opportunity to stay indoors and draw. He attended the University of Manitoba and eventually ran the student newspaper, where he was able to foster his love of comic strips as a contributor and publisher. After completing his degree, Ryan spent time as an editor and later a graphic designer, while crafting his own creative projects in the wee hours of the night. In 2015, he began posting his drawings online as an ongoing series called Honey Dill. After a handful of his comics went viral, as they say, Ryan gained notoriety for his style of cartoons that were both absurd and heartwarming. He has since worked with likes of Netflix and the CBC, among others, doing something he once dreamed of as a kid: doodling for money. Ryan currently lives in Winnipeg with his lovely wife and son.
