For years, fans of "Sherman's Lagoon" have been clamoring for a
collection that captures the rarely seen early material from the
popular strip. Now, here surfaces "Greetings From Sherman's
Lagoon," the answer to the long-time pleas of loyal followers of
Sherman the shark and his sea urchin pals. Those who regularly read
the silly yet sophisticated strip will enjoy seeing how its art,
humor, and characters have evolved. Cartoonist Jim Toomey has
mastered the look and personality of the creatures that his readers
have come to love: Sherman and his significant-shark-other Megan,
Fillmore the turtle, Hawthorne the cranky hermit crab, and other
coral critters. "Just as early Snoopy drawings more closely
resembled a beagle," says Toomey, "the characters more closely
resemble fish." Toomey adds that his early strips adhered less to
story lines and were more focused on delivering a "gag-a-day."
Longtime fans and newer readers alike are sure to enjoy noting
similarities and differences for themselves in this hilarious
turn-back-the-clock collection.
