Sherman's Lagoon Collection

A long-running, single-panel comic strip series from Andrews McMeel, Sherman's Lagoon Collection has been chronicling the undersea misadventures of its cast since 1997. The series is best known for its gentle, character-driven humor centered around Sherman the sea turtle and the other quirky inhabitants of a South Pacific lagoon. Writer and artist Jim Toomey has been the sole creative force behind the strip, crafting its warm, witty observations on human nature through an aquatic lens. Its consistent, decades-long run has made it a beloved staple of newspaper comics, offering a reliably charming escape.
