Sherman's Lagoon by Jim Toomey for May 01, 2023

Time for a nightcap?

From the worst-written Wikipedia article I’ve ever seen:

Sepioloidea lineolata or more commonly known as the striped pyjama squid or the striped dumpling squid is a type of bottletail squid, that inhabits the Indo-Pacific Oceans of Australia. Although it is not quite a cuttlefish, as it does not have a cuttlebone, it is otherwise exactly the same as cuttlefish. Therefore it is a sepioid, not a real cuttlefish. However, it is usually referred to as a cuttlefish for public simplification. It is not a squid either.

The question here is “does Sherman eat striped pajama squid”?

Be forwarded, striped pajama squid. Sherman is the eating machine of the ocean. Megan is even worse than him.

Leave the cute little squid alone, Sherman.

I looked up images of striped pajama squid. I think “adorable” is really pushing it.

Mari with pajamas on

I never even heard of this type of squid. I wonder if he and Mari would get along with each other?

Thank you Mr. Toomey for getting off the hacker “jelly fish?” story. It was getting bad.

Interestingly, I looked it up, and the striped pajama squid is actually a cuttlefish.

As far as Sherman’s thinking …………. it’s in consideration as food ………………….. maybe ………………….. by the last panel …. it’s thinking the same thing, of what Sherman is thinking ……………… :)

Better keep your distance or you’ll end up on his menu!
