But far from the doofuses and canny alcoholics found on sitcoms and beer commercials, Tanzer's characters are flesh and blood people with all the hopes, dreams, fears, problems, complications, warts, and joys that really do come with the job description of husband, father, or son.”

“Tanzer is a goliard for our times, singing, laughing, and wise with our sorrows.”

-- John Reed, author of Tales of Woe and Snowball's Chance
