A Giant Squid Walks Into a Bar . . .: The Thirtieth Sherman's Lagoon Collection
Dive into the comical depths of Jim Toomey's beloved Shermans' Lagoon comic strip, where a funny and sarcastic ensemble of sea creatures including Sherman and Megan the sharks, Hawthorne the crab, Filmore the turtle, and their friends spend their days engaged in amusing adventures, conversation, and fun. It's like a comic strip version of Friends or Cheers, except under the sea.

Meet Sherman, the lovable but lazy great white shark who’s always on the lookout for his next meal or a comfy spot to nap. Alongside him is his sharp-witted wife Megan, who keeps him in check, and their friends, including Fillmore, the nerdy sea turtle, and Hawthorne, the scheming hermit crab. Each strip is a splash of fun, featuring everything from Sherman’s hilarious attempts at dieting to Fillmore’s nerdy inventions and Hawthorne’s latest get-rich-quick schemes. Jim Toomey's humor is clever and often pokes fun at human nature through the antics of these underwater characters. But Sherman’s Lagoon is not just about laughs; it also subtly raises awareness about marine conservation and the environment, making this comic strip both educational and fun.
