Sherman's Lagoon by Jim Toomey for April 18, 2024

Until now, I was unaware that “Pearls Before Swine” was set in Guatemala. Reading widely is very educational!

The little one displays much wisdom, and he’s sitting atop a fair sized rock. Perhaps Megan doesn’t need to go that far at all.

Hey you got a kid, you got a purpose, Porpoise! (yeah, I know, but “shark” doesn’t fit)

She’s headed to Pearls Before Swine!!

Down where they are now, Megan’s thoughts are very deep. But once she’s up to where the guru sits, it will be all shallow platitudes.

Hey, if he’s got snacks, I don’t see what there is to worry about.

Come on, Megan, let Sherman come with you. Asking him to look after Herman is only gonna spell trouble.

Oh, boys, you’ll survive.

Megan’s lookin’ for answers. She done R-U-N-N O-F-T.

Looks like pizza every night.

Tru UFO. You’ll get a heck of a welcome there!

Is this going to be yet another helpless father situation? The joke is well past its prime.

How often does Megan go on a solo quest?

Take Herman with you, Megan. Mountain climbing is less dangerous than being tended by Sherman.

You could learn to prepare food yourself.
