Welcome, Welcome to "You Bet Your Life"

It's not often that I can make my wife say, "Wow." I think that's a good thing.

Really, though, I'm just waiting for the sponsorship deals to come roaring in. Health workers, animal experimenters, animal experiment protestors: we can all unite in loathing, can't we?

The "Shermin Sicky Army" is on the limp, and they've got to get sick some time!

A Messy Thanksgiving!

I learned a new term this November: the "toilet hat." This handy, portable creation sits beside more hospital beds than most people want to know about.

For those who require photographic proof of the existence of this fine machine, follow this link to see the fantastically unwearable Toilet Hat.

And remember Shermin's thoughts on what to be thankful for: "It's not the eating - it's the excreting."

Cheer-Up Chaps!

A rat of principles, Shermin puts his ass on the line.

Because, yes, everyone deserves to be respected for who they are.

Shermin the Vermin says: "Give the gift that keeps on giving: Cruelty."

And who is this big black cat? She hasn't told me yet...

What can I say? Shermin really loves the lab's drug policy.

Shermin's Nightmare

In case you were wondering, today's cartoon isn't meant to be funny. Sometimes the funny-animal art style builds the expectation of all humor, all the time.

But Shermin the Vermin is no mere two-dimensional rodent. He has nightmares, too. Just like you and me.
