Sherman's Lagoon by Jim Toomey for February 01, 2025

Did he have living children, spouse, parents, or siblings? They have precedence over nieces or nephews at common law and the Uniform Probate Code. And there may be many more nieces and nephews. I’m afraid I don’t know what law applies in the Pacific Ocean.

Sherm would sure go for a Scooby snack, though.

Sherman may have a point. Megan, I’d check the validity of anything Hawthorne wants to go over with you.

That plot is a lot older than Scooby Freaking Doo.

I’ll bet that Megan is thinking, “Sherman, you’ve been watching too much Scooby-Doo”.

I agree with Sherm

Scooby Do? Try Laurel and Hardy………

As long as you bring along those meddling kids you’ll be fine!

I guess that could make Megan, Velma, and instead of losing her glasses, she keeps losing her pearls…

If Megan asks to have his research in writing 99.9% will be redacted.

I also think everything should be a Scooby Doo plot. And I hope this time, it is!

Reminds me of the trailer for “HELL NO! The Sensible Horror Movie”:

Girl: “Hey, ya wanna spend a night in the haunted mansion? I’ve even got a Ouija board!”

Guy: “Hell no!”

(Spoiler: everybody lives!)

Wasn’t that originally an Agatha Christie trope?

Her rich uncle was Professor Hyde White. He isn’t really dead, though, just secretly secreted.

Sadly, in America, the money doesn’t usually go to the person listed, but the person with the best lawyer.

I think Scooby Doo is about as deep as Sherman gets ! ;-)

Does this mean that he left no will (intestate) or that he left it to organizations?
