Another Day in Paradise: The Fourth Sherman's Lagoon Collection

by Jim Toomey

Overview

""Some readers have likened the dubious regard for humans in Sherman's Lagoon to the late, lamented Far Side by Gary Larson.""-Dallas Morning News

Sharks have always fascinated Jim Toomey. ""I was the only one rooting for the shark in Jaws,"" he says. Now, Toomey's dim-witted Sherman is back with Another Day in Paradise. This fantastic collection of the popular strip takes a satirical, sea-floor look at modern culture through the eyes of Sherman, his sidekick sea turtle friend Fillmore, and schools of other coral reef critters in their remote tropical paradise.
