Sherman's Lagoon by Jim Toomey for May 19, 2024

Why would a question start a fight? It might be better to say “I’m voting for Blimp”.

Rupert may be a Fighting fish; Sherman is a Biting fish… and Rupert looks just about snack-size for a shark…lol

Get him mad enough to do something stupid?

He should’ve already learnt his lesson with that frog.

I’m voting for Sherman.

The comedians.

Not to worry. The lagoon isn’t a freshwater location. Rupert is doomed.

Nice little purple snack for you, Sherman.

That is not the right thing to say, Sherman. We all know how these elections turn out.

No, no, NO!

Sounds like my sister, talk about politics she’ll “chew your ear off”.

I have two of these guys. Of course, I keep them in separate tanks.

No, no. Bad mouth his mother, instead.

Not the right thing to say, Sherman.

Now, Hawthorne might think that bringing up politics to a fight-prone fish is a bad idea. But I couldn’t disagree more. I think the bottom of the ocean is a perfect place for many of our politicians.

The real fightin’ words question isn’t, “Who’s gonna win this election?” It’s, “Who really won that election?”

Say goodbye to your fins Shem.

He’s fighting mad, because he’s fit to be Thai-ed.
