More great Harris comics

Sidney Harris offers that rare treat: thoughtful, well-informed humor. This time he aims his barbs at the medical profession. His one-panel drawings cover the whole range, from surgery and office practice to psychiatry and research. If you really want to know what the mice and microbes think, let Harris be your interpreter.The end of the book came way too soon. That just means that I have to find more of his books - and don't ask to borrow mine. I keep coming back to them, and enjoying them all over again.
