A satirical, sea-floor look at popular culture, as showcased
through the lives of a lovable shark and his oceanic cronies.
"Sherman's Lagoon" is a fantasy place situated somewhere in the
tropics. It's inhabited by a motley crew of sea creatures, whose
marine lives suspiciously mirror our own. Through his comic strip,
cartoonist Jim Toomey explores many of the issues that we face
daily in our world on dry land. His characters attempt new business
ventures, go on disastrous dates, try fad diets, and read the
latest best-selling books. But, they also have problems that are
unique to fish. Should you bring shrimp to the holiday party? Will
shrimp be there?
"Sherman's Lagoon" appeals to adults and children alike. Children,
pre-teen, and teens enjoy its underwater theme and the sometimes
rough-and-tumble world of life in the ocean. Adults enjoy the
social commentary that is a common thread in the strip.
There is also an educational aspect to the strip that gives it a
unique place in the comics. Toomey explores environmental themes in
a light, apolitical way. And, he takes his characters on road
trips, where they explore different parts of the ocean and meet
native animals along the way.
