Sherman's Lagoon by Jim Toomey for April 24, 2023

Of course Hawthorne want to try. You ask a silly question Marina.

I feel a disaster coming on!

Do New Yorker’s worry about traffic signals?

Marina (Mari), first came onboard on March 2nd. Even though her ears look a little shorter now, I hope she becomes a regular!

Dump this ridiculous character. The lagoon already has 1 computer nerd/hacker.

Around NYC or IN NYC? Big difference.

Mari, Ernest and Hawthorn could rule the world.

As if New York wasn’t chaotic enough.

Nobody will notice.

Red means stop, green means go, yellow means go very fast.

Oh great – now you’ve put an idea into some hacker’s head.

I did this as a child in Vincennes, Indiana. My cousin had figured out that the controller box on the stoplight a block or so from her home had no lock. So two naughty little kids could open the box and switch the light. We never got caught.

Criminal activity? Aw no problem, Mr. Bragg doesn’t do much prosecuting.

Now why couldn’t have Mari showed up earlier as a guest on Fillmore’s talk show? I’m sure that she could probably talk about intelligent stuff, other than just being a hacker.

Mari’s pretty smart for a dumbo.

Bordering on criminal behavior …… Marina …… need you ask …… “OF COURSE” ……. Hawthorn wants to give it a try ……. :)

True story:

Many years ago Denmark was widening the motorway leading into Copenhagen. The day they opened the additional lanes, the Copenhagen traffic department deliberately altered the timing of lights on the streets leading from the motorway into the city, to delay the commuters so that they would not complete their inbound trip any sooner than they had before.

Time for Sherman to have Marina with marinara.

In Texas traffic signals are considered suggestions. So are speed limit signs.

Of course he does………..

Haha! XD
