Sherman -- who never allows thinking to interfere with life's simple pleasures, especially eating -- is joined by Fillmore, his trusty turtle sidekick; Megan, his significant shark other; Hawthorne, the irascible hermit crab; and a host of other Neptunian neighbors occupying the lagoon of an imaginary South Pacific island called Kapupu.
This cast of coral reef critters never fails to amuse: Consider Sherman opening a wrapped holiday gift box only to find a putrid dead fish -- and loving it! Or the day he and Fillmore contemplate plunging to the deepest depths of the ocean, in order to recover Fillmore's fumbled Ninja Turtle Decoder Ring.
Syndicated for six years, Sherman's Lagoon harpoons its twentysomething target audience with ease, while its cuddly characters and edgy humor capture children and adult readers respectively. Even those who visit Sherman on his own Web site (www.slagoon.com) will want this wacky assortment of comedic columns. Sherman's Lagoon is a crowd-pleaser that has made a considerablesplash!
