Description
Fish are people too. Or so it seems on the imaginary island of Kapupu, the setting for the wet and witty sea creatures of Sherman's Lagoon. For more than a decade, creator Jim Toomey has delighted readers with his off-center look at pop culture through the eyes of its namesake character, Sherman, and his coral-reef companions. Now, for the first time, the very best of this cast of lagoonies is captured in a treasury of classics. Sherman's Lagoon 1991-2001: Greatest Hits and Near Misses gives readers the opportunity to follow the evolution of the satirical strip from the first day it ran in the Escondido (Calif.) Times-Advocate on May 13, 1991, all the way up to the present day. This comprehensive collection highlights the complete history of the adventures of Sherman, the happy-go-lucky, brain-go-slow shark, and his lagoon-dwelling friends, including: Fillmore the turtle, Sherman's sensible sidekick; Hawthorne, the cranky, beer can-dwelling hermit crab; Megan, Sherman's pearl-clad wife; Ernest, the big-brained philosophical fish; and Thornton, the surfboard-toting polar bear. The compendium also features the funniest moments from the occasional humans who have inhabited the make-believe lagoon, such as Captain Quig
