Rating:  Summary: Hilarious and deeper at second read... Review: Just love the drawings and the hilarious characters... Amazing idea to reverse the roles about fishing... I do think if you are a fan of Calvin&Hobbes will enjoy those comics (similar surrealistic approach...). Get and enjoy.

Rating:  Summary: my new favorite comic book Review: My boyfriend gave me this book when I had chicken pox as an adult, and he said it would make me feel better. Not only was he right, but Sherman's Lagoon has become my new favorite comic strip. Outlandish but down-to-eath, the characters of Kapupu Lagoon are hillarious and charming. Sherman is the first shark I could ever relate to!
Rating:  Summary: Sherman Review: Read it! Jim Toomey rules! Funniest shark in print...and the crab ain't bad either.

Rating:  Summary: This is the best comic since Calvin and Hobbes! A+! Review: Sherman's Lagoon is the best comic since Calvin and Hobbes! Originally, I had no idea of it's existance, I am glad I know now! The humor in this book is acceptable for kids of all ages. I strongly reccomend this book for everyone! -Matthew Gebarski
Rating:  Summary: He's Not a Shark! He's an Eating Machine! Review: This first "Sherman's Lagoon" collection contains comic strips from 1996 - 1997. Sherman is a shark with both human and shark traits. This combination gives great humor to this strip about life under a South Pacific (?) lagoon. A must have for all Sherman fans and fans of well-done comic strips!
Rating:  Summary: Fun for every hairless beach ape! Review: This is the first Sherman's Lagoon collection and is it a hoot! There are several good storylines in here, including the introduction of the sun-loving polar bear Thornton, Fillmore's trip to Ascension Island for mating season, the ongoing tumultuous relationship between Sherman and Megan, the crabiness of everyone's favorite crab Hawthorne and a visit from Sherman's brother Herman. One of the nice things about this collection is that you don't have to be a fan to enjoy this book. It is an excellent introduction to the often hilarious world that Jim Toomey has created and is a testament to his skill as a writer and artist. I love this book, it makes me laugh alot and I am proud to own it. I'm sure you would be too!

Rating:  Summary: Funniest Comic currently in Print. Review: This is the heir apparent to the Bloom County Throne. Witty, sarcastic, and uproariously funny. He manages to do what only Breathed and Watterson have been able to do... tell jokes in comic strips with TIMING. Sherman's world is isolated, very few real life events invade his waters, so it does lack the scathing political and social satire that I loved about Bloom County. Oh Berke, where are you? Until then, Sherman is a fantastic surrogate.
