Sherman's Lagoon by Jim Toomey for June 19, 2023

Aren’t we all.

Sherman tell us something we don’t know.

Sherman wishes he had 9 stomachs.

This strip needs a character like the No Pants Guy in Ghosts, who is driven by a different part of his anatomy.

Aren’t we all?

This strip could use a brain.

@elbow macaroni Feeling as you do, you’ll be pleased to learn that reading this strip isn’t mandatory.

I used to think with one brain, and was driven by the other.

Something tells me this is gonna lead to another scam from Hawthorne.

“What we are dealing with here is a perfect engine, an eating machine. It’s really a miracle of evolution. All this machine does is swim and eat and make little sharks. And that’s all.”

Jaws

Which explains why Hawthorne is still alive

Sherman’s got pre-shit for brains.

Sharks are like that. Hey Sherman, the orcas would like to invite you over for lunch. Or is that as lunch?

Fun fact, sharks cannot “sleep” in the sense that humans do, because if they stopped moving through the water, and therefor moving water over their gills, they wouldn’t be able to breathe. Instead, they shut down half their brain at a time, going into a kind of meditative twilight state for a period of time.

An unexpected moment of self-awareness on the part of Sherman.

Octupuses have one main brain and nine auxiliary brains. One per arm to handle fine control independently.

Sherman is a drive-by stomach.

What brain Sherman?

They have 3 hearts too!
