Sherman's Lagoon by Jim Toomey for June 26, 2023

I hope the plug the hole, so the water doesn’t drain out.

They are looking for a prehistoric Bobbit worm.

Fillmore is pulling your fin, Sherman.

Sherman should definitely transfer to The Fusco Brothers strip!!!

Maybe they are drilling for fresh water. :-p

Why not?

Sherman, can’t you tell that Fillmore is kidding? There is no nougat in the earth’s center.

Sherman knows, deep down, that’s wrong.

I didn’t know great whites were interested in creamy nougat.

Last time was a cover for a CIA op to recover a Soviet sub. With Howard Hughes leading the dance. I cannot picture any of our current crop of rich engineers being able to pull this off. Elon would let the drill head get half way to the bottom, get bored and acquire ChatGP so he could play with AI.

I think it was a Howard Fast short story in which while drilling the deepest well ever attempted, possibly using a nuclear device, the drillers struck blood.

I’ll say they’re looking for a log in the hole in the bottom of the sea.

Haha! XD
