Keiler Roberts is a Chicago-based artist whose autobiographical comic series Powdered Milk has received an Ignatz Award for Outstanding Series, and her work has been included in The Best American Comics.

“Roberts’ book is sweet without sentimentality, sour without caustic meanness, and generous to both its subjects and its readers.” ― Edwin Turner, Biblioklept
“With Rat Time, Keiler Roberts has given herself permission to go all-out in an attempt to be funny, knowing that her commitment to emotional honesty and deep sincerity will keep her and her readers grounded in reality.” ― Rob Clough, Your Chicken Enemy
“Picking up where Chlorine Gardens left off, Keiler Roberts’ graphic memoir, Rat Time, wanders artfully and unannounced into memories.” ― Chris Gavaler, Pop Matters
“Ignatz Award–winner Roberts (Chlorine Gardens) continues to gently guide readers on meandering, illuminating rambles through the quotidian in this newest autobiographical instalment.” ― Publishers Weekly
“Rat Time shifts from a moment spent with pet rats to a moment spent with the creatures in your mind, examining, relating, appreciating, at whatever the pace.” ― John Seven, The Comics Beat
“For the last three years, Koyama Press has released an annual collection of Roberts’ diary comics: Sunburning, Chlorine Gardens, and this year’s Rat Time. Each year these are some of the funniest comics to see print, finding humor in everyday exchanges between Roberts and her family while turning sadness and gloom into punchlines.” ― Oliver Sava, The A.V. Club
“With a dry wit and a propensity for imbuing life’s quieter moments with a profound connectivity, Roberts’ self-deprecating and candid comics are always worth revisiting.” ― Andy Oliver, Broken Frontier
“[Roberts] brings to light funny, ironic moments of everyday life that most of us overlook.” – Heather Leighton, The Comics Journal
