Sherman's Lagoon by Jim Toomey for May 15, 2023

Sherman you ever think about trying another sport ?

Instead of water hazards, does he have to deal with land hazards?

when you find out, let me know.

Your problem, Sherman, is that there aren’t any “golf gods”. No “appeasement” will suffice.

I hear that the Golf Gods are partial to Crab Rangoon.

I seem to remember my father saying something similar.

I was good at sacrificing golf balls, too.

Yes, Sherman, it is too much to ask.

Funny that in real golf you hit a ball in the water. In Sherman’s golf you hit one on to land.

The water must play hob with his swing.

Honestly I’m impressed that an out-of-shape great white shark has not only the dexterity to hold a golf club, but also the strength to hit a golf ball from underwater hard enough to cause it to fly several feet in the air.

Like I said, Sherman’s just as bad as Jon Arbuckle when it comes to playing golf. And I can bet that Jon would ask the same question too.

I guess instead of water hazards, he has land hazards.

Sherman’s golf game seems to have veered off course.

If I ever get to play golf again, I’ve got to remember this cartoon. Maybe if I take the lesson to heart I’ll remember the gods of golf don’t need more of my golf balls as sacrifices.

The pirate captain in Peter Pan always hooked his golf shots.

Careful there Sherman, it may not go how you think. John Scalzi wrote the short story Judge Sn Goes Golfing with just that as a premise. Judge Sn is quite possibly the worst golfer in the universe, then one day he’s having a perfect round…

Not available freely online, but well worth reading, and you don’t need to have read The Android’s Dream where the character came from first.

Kahuna can make you an expert golf champion—but then you’ll have to spend your twilight years hocking Colonial Penn.

It’s tough when you can really only play in water hazards (and are the one making the water hazardous). :)

Now, this is my kind of God.

Haha! XD
