History of Syd
Syd cartoons first began appearing in 1990. Before long Syd had found a permenant home in the pages of the Manitoba Cooperator, the farmer's newspaper. Since then, Syd has travelled and has been spotted in the pages of a variety of publications and plastered on refridgerator doors across Canada.
Syd was originally born a large white laboratory rat. Over time, Syd the rat gave up the limelight fading into the background. Today, Syd the rat still makes the occassional cameo appearance especially in cartoons with a science focuus. For the most part, he lives in the shadows of semi-retirement leaving much of the frontline work to the multitude of other characters that daily adopt the mantle of Syd.
