A Giant Squid Walks Into a Bar . . .: The Thirtieth Sherman's Lagoon Collection Volume 30 - Paperback
by Jim Toomey (Author)
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.Jim Toomey was born and raised in Alexandria, Virginia. He launched Sherman's Lagoon in 1991 and was picked up by Creators Syndicate later that year. An engineer, a philosopher, a surfer, a scuba diver, and a sailor, Toomey lives in Annapolis, Maryland, with his wife and daughter.
He has been twice awarded the Environmental Hero Award, given by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, "for using art and humor to conserve and protect our marine heritage."Made with care and unconditionally loved by our customers, this signature bestseller exceeds all expectations.
