Instant Classic

For the life of me, I can't figure out why Sherman's Lagoon isn't more popular. Toomey has developed great characters over the years, and he manages to keep them funny. Great stuff!

Awesome!

This book is great, as are all the other Sherman's Lagoon Collections. I can't get enough of my favorite big white shark!

staying good

toomey is managing to stay fresh and interesting with a relatively small cast and simple stage, he's turning out to be a real winner, as good as any daily strip writer there is currently working

"Yarns, Shanties, and other Nautival Baloney

Jim Toomey is one of 3 or 4 cartoonists/authors who are in a completely different class, way ahead of the others. The Twelfth Sherman's Lagoon Collection is great. John Nicholson, Quincy, MA
