Product Description
Jim Toomey is "a breath of fresh water." --Washington Post
Lauded for sparking dialogue on topics relating to marine life, Sherman's Lagoon appears in 250 newspapers in 30 countries in 6 languages.
Collecting more than 42 weeks of Jim Toomey's Sherman's Lagoon, this collection transports readers to an imaginary lagoon near the South Pacific island of Kapupu, where a cast of coral reef critters live a charmed aquatic lifestyle.
Commenting on such timely issues as rising sea levels, degrading water quality, and environmental pollution, inhabitants of Toomey's nautical neighborhood include Sherman, an always-hungry, but otherwise typical kind of great white shark, and his witty pearl-wearing wife Megan, along with friendly Fillmore the turtle, geeky fish Ernest, macho hermit crab Hawthorne, and salty old Captain Quigley, who remains vengeful after loosing his leg to Sherman.
This is the 13th Sherman's Lagoon cartoon collection, in addition to two treasuries.
About the Author
Jim Toomey was born and raised in Alexandria, Va. Following family tradition, he studied mechanical engineering at Duke University, but he left that career to become a political cartoonist. Jim launched Sherman's Lagoon in 1991 and was picked up by Creators Syndicate later that year. A philosopher, surfer, scuba diver, and sailor, Jim lives in Maryland with his wife, daughter, and son.

Best Comic Strip Being Published Today, Mar 17 2009
By C. Kile "Hopper" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sharks Just Wanna Have Fun: The Thirteenth Sherman's Lagoon Collection (Paperback)
Jim Toomey is still a genius. He is the last great comic strip artist that we have today. Truly an original concept of seeing a shark and his underwater friends get into the zany situations with the kind of sarcastic, snappy humor that we don't get to see anymore. It's always a blast to see Hawthorn's latest business scheme or Sherman's next crazy adventure. This book is a must read to anyone looking for a good laugh.

Sharks having fun, July 3 2011
By Bruce Schafer "Hola Man" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Sharks Just Wanna Have Fun: The Thirteenth Sherman's Lagoon Collection (Paperback)
This is great, easy to digest cartoon humor, kinda like other grand stuff like Mother Gooose & Grimmy. Of course, you don't need to have an analysis of the current economic, political and evironmental issues in your daily life. This stuff provides you the option of sitting back and ignoring all the other clatter as you chuckle in fits.
Listmania!
