Renowned cartoonist Sidney Harris turns his legendary pen and scientific acumen loose on animals. All kinds of animals. Dogs. Cats. Pigs. Cockroaches. Lions. Warthogs. And, yes, even a platypus. This hilarious collection of 130 cartoons pokes fun at animals big and small, lazy and industrious. Animal lovers and detractors alike will find Harris'' unique brand of visual humor and scientific smarts---well---the cat's meow.

SIDNEY HARRIS's cartoons enliven the pages of magazines as diverse as Playboy, The New Yorker, The Spectator, and American Scientist, and adorn bulletin boards and refrigerator doors around the world. Other collections of his cartoons include Can't you Guys Read?: Cartoons on Academia; Einstein Simplified: Cartoons on Science; and Freudian Slips: Cartoons on Psycology (all by Rutgers University Press). Traveling shows of his science cartoons and paintings have been displayed at museums in the United States and Canada.
