Sherman's Lagoon by Jim Toomey for April 21, 2024

The oyster was a sclammer.

Oysters Rockefeller

It’s worth 50 thousand pesos. No more. No less.

As you can tell, Sherman is not very bright!!!

Should’ve called up “Pawn Brokers!”

The little spots of blue chalk might have been a clue.

The oyster must find it easier to collect humans’ garbage than make a pearl.

Clam scam!!

She fell for the “oyster” line, the rest was easy. The prawnbroker knows his stuff.

The “oyster” made 500 clams so far today.

Oysters and clams and mussels, Oh My!

Should have taken it to a jeweler first, Sherman. They can always tell if a pearl is real or not.

So Long Suckah!

What would an oyster want with $100?

That clam is making a fortune.

now we know where the term "happy as a clam " came from.

I think clam chowder is in his future.

Eight ball says “Try again later.”

This is how oyster intolerance got started.

Wonder what Sherman will be having for supper. Might even get the cash back.

Duh!

Need to install a Davey Jones’ popup blocker.

The Made in China should have been a dead giveaway.

That’s not an oyster; that’s a shyster!

Clam scam.

Clams got scams!!! (Oops…think I’m in the wrong strip!)

Must be a friend of Hawthorne’s.

Fifth one? Must be a slow day. An underwater version of the Nigerian Prince scam.

We used to have the shell of a giant clam (and yes, it’s a clam, not an oyster). I think we got it while my dad was stationed in Hawaii (can’t think where else he would have gotten it.) He brought it home in a box labeled “Danger! Man-eating clam.”
