Horrifying head injuries are an analogy for the shameful failures of life, insofar as they are both constant.

I... think that is what the strip means.

I read two strips.  Does Herman get bashed in the head in every strip?  'Cos I'm not going to read anymore to find out.

This one was OK. (http://herman.manateepower.com/2008/03/19/the-book-of-herman/)

This one doesn't involve a gruesome head injury. (http://herman.manateepower.com/2008/04/09/meet-marty-mullet/)

God is working some rough chuckles in this one. (http://herman.manateepower.com/2008/06/18/flim-flam-fate/)

So, I read a couple and chuckled.  It's a theme, and I get that.

However, I had to laugh when I was over at Hark A Vagrant and I saw Herman's banner ad.

THIS COMIC DELIVERS AS PROMISED... DAILY.

Dear Wombles, this is a comic where the punchline is a manatee getting hit by a boat prop.

DAILY!

I find that the real problem is the art. That is a lousy picture of a manatee.

This may be the only other web comic I like.  I almost like Daisy Owl, I like achewood, and now I think I like Herman the Manatee.
