Bi-Polar

We all got some kinda madness to deal with. At least, all of us coming to this Web site. The bear says, “Don’t worry!  Join the party!”

Rats and Cats

Luckily, there's more than one way to skin a cat.

Dream Home

For God's sake, read the punchline aloud to make sense of it. And good luck with that, too!

You're not ready? Me either.- Let's dance.

Shermin Steals

Today's comic: competing value systems. Shermin's back in his own strip.

Bad Dog!

Yes, I know that dogs are not "vermin." But the dog is behaving like vermin, and the raccoon is vermin - so there. Or are raccoons "varmints"? Hmm...

My arms are killing me today, so I apologize to those eight or nine of you who've seen this strip before. It's necessary, believe me.

Moon for My Mother

Sometimes the rat gets thoughtful. Sometimes I get thoughtful. Love to the mother of the rat and me.

Rat Poison

I hear Shermin speaking with a French accent.

Shermin's Bilingual Flash Cards: More!

 Shermin the Vermin and U.S. Education: "Waiting for Stupid-man."

(Special thanks to Dan Schubarth for this wonderful idea. His prize will be awarded immediately: the newest addition to Shermin's vermin cast is hereby christened "Dan the Squirrel.")

Merry Christmas, Vermin!

Happy Catharsis from two new vermin: a squirrel, and (I believe) a groundhog.

If some nice reader suggested names for them, this rodent team might be back.

And, yes, I said THEY might be back. Yes, the squirrel is dead, but c'mon. It's only pixels on a screen, folks.

Think of the Children

In the very first "Shermin the Vermin" cartoon, I depicted him after attacking a baby. I deeply regret that, and I hope today's cartoon makes up for that insensitivity, which, as I said, I deeply regret.

Shermin's Bilingual Flash Cards: #1

¡Olé!


Shermin's bilingual flash cards. They can't be licked.

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...
