Sherman's Lagoon by Jim Toomey for April 30, 2024

Do TVs still have buttons?

Toss pieces of popcorn.

I suspect Megan’s been lifting them in order to encourage more face time among the denizens of the lagoon.

Remember those old T.V. dials? Those old televisions came without remotes.

Maybe the remotes are visiting the ball pens on the ball pen planet.

We had to do that at my house and now the buttons have stopped working not designed for actual use apparently.

The giant squid got them.

I bet Hawthorne is behind this. If it’s a modern TV, there are no buttons to push.

Sherman, quit being so lazy and actually do it.

How about read? Listen to classical music? Exercise? Walk? Go to the forests? National Parks? Volunteer at a local shelter, animal rescue? Dah.

In the 80s, my dad once called in from my bedroom just to change the channel.

Sherm, take a snack with you.

That’s why you have a kid!

Good luck finding any.

Use the ‘find my remote’ app on your phone. Hey, where’s my phone?!

Possibly someone is stealing them for the batteries. I cannot imagine any other use.

I never owned a tv with a remote. And I don’t own a tv now.

or YOU could get off the couch and push the buttons, Me-gain…

Megan is right. But moving to change the channel is a pain.

What, me get up to change the channel? Like some kind of cave man?!
