Sherman's Lagoon by Jim Toomey for June 29, 2024

Grunion are actually tasty little fish.

Megan is thinking: “How embarrassing! I can’t take him anywhere anymore.”

Calamari looks like onion rings, and they’re made of fish. Well, of things that live in the sea, anyway.

Cute! In Scene Three he has opposable thumbs!

They come from the isle of Grun (Beverly Hillbillies).

Oooo… and it’s Grunion Run season. I wonder if our favorite sharks will be participating!

Leave it to Sherman to confuse a grunion with an onion.

Grunion are two fish species of the genus Leuresthes: the California grunion, L. tenuis, and the Gulf grunion, L. sardinas. They are sardine-sized teleost fishes of the New World silverside family Atherinopsidae, found only off the coast of California, USA, and Baja California, Mexico, where the species are found on both the Pacific Ocean and Gulf of California coasts.

Grunion Rings and Squido’s. Sherman’s favorite foods.

Food, that’s all he thinks about

He really needs to rethink his routine but at least his jokes aren’t so stale they’re dusty.

Grunion? Isn’t that short for “green onion”?

Sherman ……. You really know how to make new friends ……. “NOT” …… ;)

What, he couldn’t say that he’s “Sam, I am”? d;o)
