Book Overview
After ten book collections and a treasury, great white shark Sherman and the Lagoonies celebrate 15 years of life under the sea with this new collection of creator Jim Toomey's daily cartoons and full-color Sundays. In an imaginary lagoon near the island of Kapupu in the South Pacific lives a group of nutty but sophisticated underwater creatures-complete with neuroses that rival those of humans (also known as "hairless beach apes"). Their wet world, oddly enough, is not so different from our own. Sherman, a great white shark, is a typical guy, and Megan is his ruthless but nurturing wife. Rounding out the aquatic crew are Fillmore the turtle, geeky fish Ernest, and macho hermit crab Hawthorne. Salty old Captain Quigley, who lost his leg to Sherman years ago, is hell-bent on seeking revenge against the shark. Sherman and friends effectively reflect human behavior and occasionally must confront humans' encroachment on their unspoiled habitat. Activist groups have applauded this comic strip with a social conscience for promoting marine conservation. Sherman's Lagoon has been syndicated since 1991, currently by King Features, and has a circulation of more than 200 daily newspapers on five continents.

Shark Years I'm Dead

Extremely cleverly cartoon with a wonderful "cast" of believable sea creatures. Pure delight and full of great humor.

Shermans Lagoon has to be the best comic I have ever read! (and trust me I read a lot of comics) This book deserves no less than 10 stars,it is so funny because of its cast of characters. They range from a fish genious to a big mean giant squid. But the top character has to be Hawethorne the hermit crab who seems to endlessly take advantage of Sherman the shark. BUY THIS BOOK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This is a really fun compilation. They did a great job selecting the cartoons for this one. If they start a thread, they finish it.

Can't say enough good things about Sherman's Lagoon. This is a laugh out loud book, and there are a lot of toons in this volume. If you have never read Sherman's Lagoon go with the first book to get some background on the characters then just go with the flow. After you are tuned into how everyone relates any one of the Sherman books are excellent.
Laughs on every page!

I'm a Sherman's Lagoon fan, so I may be a bit biased, but I found this Treasury hilarious!! They've certainly put the best bits in, I was laughing on every page! I also found it really good value for money - over 200 pages of top quality comic strips (Sunday strips were also in colour which was great!). Fantastic buy all round!!
