The world is a busy place, everyone rushing in mad circles somehow convinced that if you aren't winning, you must be losing. But, for every unnatural force that drives you forward, there is a Noonday Demon to assist your vapid lounging, feet up, dissociating on Instagram, drinking larcenously priced mocktails in oblivious demotivation.
We invite you to join us on Terrace IV of Purgatory Towers and sink deep into these bizarre, creepish, and frequently hilarious, tales of sloth. You'll find stern minions of Hell welcoming a lazy new arrival, a delivery man in China charged with transporting a suspiciously shaped package, and a cautionary tale of the perils of moving too fast through this life. From the vagaries of corporate damnation, to letting sleeping titans lie, to prehistoric megafauna, the fourth deadly sin manifests unexpected forms. So embrace the torpor and release yourself from the burden of virtuous productivity. You'll be surprised at how good it feels...and maybe a little afraid.
With stories and art by Jason Pearce, Elizabeth Whitton, Susan Zhao, Cam Hayden, Sarah L. Pratt and Robert Bose.
