Sherman's Lagoon by Jim Toomey for January 11, 2025

They COULD swim up

I sense this story will be continued. My guess is the Kids become friends (if they’re not already) and save the day!

Yell for the kids. They’ll lead you out to civilization.

Now, now, boys, remember to set a good example for your sons. Remember your sons?

No witnesses, Sherman. Think about it.

Come on, guys, if you want to get the ball back and get out of the kelp forest, you have to work together.

C’mon! Ya got eight arms and one job!

I happened to scroll this up to where it cut off the dialogue balloons, and I noticed that the giant squid’s expressions were virtually identical—look at Sherman, look away and speak, look at Sherman, look away and speak.

Raw shark and squid wrapped in seaweed. All they’re missing is some rice, and they’re sushi.

Teamwork makes the dream work.

Which kid will end up fatherless… and which one will end up with a slightly fatter father? Stay tuned to find out!

Meanwhile the kids are having a great time together without the dads.

He’s about to hit your noggin with that club!
