Product Description
Product Description
In many ways, Sherman is a guy's guy. He eats everything in sight. His so-called smooth moves with his girlfriend sink like a stone. And his happy-go-lucky manner endears him to all of his friends. What makes Sherman atypical is the fact that he's a great white shark whose pals include a smart-aleck hermit crab named Hawthorne, an intellectual fish called Earnest, and a sensible sea turtle known as Fillmore. For more than a decade, the daily adventures of Sherman and his coral companions have delighted readers of Sherman's Lagoon across the globe. Now Sherman and his sea urchin buddies take us for another swim down memory lane with Surf's Up, bringing together Sherman's Lagoon strips from 1994 and 1995, many of which have never before been published in book form.This roll-back-the-clock collection picks up where the successful Greetings from Sherman's Lagoon collection left off, offering the strip's loyal longtime readers the opportunity to catch up on classic Sherman tales of yesteryear. Whether you are a faithful follower of the silly yet sophisticated strip or new to Sherman's underwater world, Surf's Up will be a book you can't put down. Once you've seen the world through the eyes of Sherman, you'll never look at marine life the same way again.
About the Author
Jim Toomey's Sherman's Lagoon set out to sea in 1991, and today it is syndicated in more than 200 newspapers across five continents, including the Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, Los Angeles Daily News, and Dallas Morning News. The strip has a fiercely loyal fan base and consistently ranks among the top third in comic-reader polls. In his spare time, Jim is committed to supporting efforts that preserve marine life. In addition to being a friend to the fish, he is an avid scuba diver and sailor. He lives with his wife, Valerie, in Maryland, on the Chesapeake Bay.

This review is from: Surf's Up !: The 1994 to1995 Sherman's Lagoon Collection (Paperback)
Sherman's Lagoon is one of those offbeat creations that appeal to many. If you are the kind of person that likes humor that causes you to look back at the earlier panels, this is a good one. I recommend it. Imagine Calvin (of Calvin and Hobbs) as he might appear as an adult.

This review is from: Surf's Up !: The 1994 to1995 Sherman's Lagoon Collection (Paperback)
I really enjoy Sherman's Lagoon and all the characters. I sent lots of funny books to my brother when he was stationed in Baghdad, and he said one of his sergeants was addicted to Sherman's Lagoon: he was more excited about getting another book than about getting home-made cookies! Now THAT's something!!
