A Great Day

The ninth collection of this innovative comic strip. Once again cartoonist Jim Toomey manages to show how much we have in common with the denizens of a tropical lagoon as they deal with life, fishermen, and hairless beach apes. Just how Toomey has managed to make a shark, a turtle and a hermit crab so in synch with the trials and tribulations of hairless beach ape life (us) is really pure comic genius. This collection contains many humorous stories and one-shots. Among them are such story arcs as: Hawthorne's Bed and Breakfast Dude Ranch Trip Club Spathorne Synchronized Poodle Swim Team The Lagoon gets isolated Return of the topless mermaid Megan's Grandma The Parallel Dimension Lagoon It is hard to imagine someone how can read these strips and not see and appreciate the satires of modern life. Check it out.
