Product Description
Fish are people too. Or so it seems on the imaginary island of Kapupu, the setting for the wet and witty sea creatures of Sherman's Lagoon. For more than a decade, creator Jim Toomey has delighted readers with his off-center look at pop culture through the eyes of its namesake character, Sherman, and his coral-reef companions. Now, for the first time, the very best of this cast of lagoonies is captured in a treasury of classics. Sherman's Lagoon 1991-2001: Greatest Hits and Near Misses gives readers the opportunity to follow the evolution of the satirical strip from the first day it ran in the Escondido (Calif.) Times-Advocate on May 13, 1991, all the way up to the present day.This comprehensive collection highlights the complete history of the adventures of Sherman, the happy-go-lucky, brain-go-slow shark, and his lagoon-dwelling friends, including:o Fillmore the turtle, Sherman's sensible sidekicko Hawthorne, the cranky, beer can-dwelling hermit crabo Megan, Sherman's pearl-clad wifeo Ernest, the big-brained philosophical fisho And Thornton, the surfboard-toting polar bearThe compendium also features the funniest moments from the occasional humans who have inhabited the make-believe lagoon, such as Captain Quigley, the vengeful fisherman who lost his leg to Sherman years ago.This master collection of Jim Toomey's colorful cast of creatures will be treasured by longtime fans-and provide those new to the satirical strip an opportunity to catch up on all the underwater fun they've missed during the last decade.

About the Author
Jim Toomey's Sherman's Lagoon was launched in 1991 and today is syndicated in more than 150 newspapers across five continents. The strip has a fiercely loyal fan base and regularly ranks among the top third in comic-reader polls. In his spare time, Jim enjoys supporting efforts that preserve marine life. In addition to being a friend to the fish, he is an avid scuba diver and sailor. He currently lives in Maryland, on the Chesapeake Bay

5.0 out of 5 stars Tickle your senses!, August 22, 2003
By A Customer
Once in a blue moon there comes a cartoonist and character that just tickles every part of your senses. This does not happen very often in this genre as the talent to illustrate, deliver the punch line, maintain a sense of civility and not insult the reader's intelligence has to be done all at the same time. Calvin and Hobbes was one. Sherman's gang is another. Enjoy this before this gets shelved forever into the museum of pure intelligent humor. Did I say intelligent?

5.0 out of 5 stars It's what it says it is, March 11, 2009
By Alvin T. Lao (Philippines) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I have the complete collection of Garfield, Asterix, Tintin and other comic books and this is my first Sherman's Lagoon. It's a good deal because for a comic freak like myself, it's getting hard to get tickled by daily comic strip and yet this collection was able to make me snicker on almost every page. So why buy the whole collection when you can get the best stuff in one book? If you are a comic-lover, you've got to get a copy of this one.

5.0 out of 5 stars These fish are funny
These are not your typical cuddly cartoon characters. Sharks eat other fish--and people--with regularity. (The fish refer to people as "hairless beach apes. Read more
