It's what it says it is

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.

Just as funny as the first time I read them.

Always loved Sherman's Lagoon. I don't know if it is still running, but with this book you can enjoy them over and over again.

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.") But they carry on like people most of the time: ordering from catalogs (Sharker Image), watching TV, taking trips to exotic (for them) places. The guy who writes this has a really funny turn of mind, and each character has a well-developed personality. Take a look at the current strips at www.slagoon.com if you want.

Tickle your senses!

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?
