Greetings From Sherman's Lagoon

By Jim Toomey

A collection of cartoons from the comic strip Sherman's Lagoon, dating from 1992 to 1993.

Sherman is a great white shark and has a taste for people. He frequently comes up with plans to eat humans but often fails. He is occasionally successful though, appearing with human legs sticking out of his mouth.
He has a steady girl friend shark, Megan. You can tell she is a female because she wears a string of pearls around her "neck". He also has a best friend, a sea turtle named Fillmore. Being friends with a shark can be a bit tricky, as Fillmore sometimes finds himself on the menu, although when he protests, Sherman always backs off.

I enjoyed this book of comic strips. It is always funny, if a bit grim at times.
