Sherman's Lagoon by Jim Toomey for January 15, 2024

Let’s have a cocktail …

RUN, HAWTHORNE, RUN FAST

Sharks taste through their skin. Love the reaction in panel 3.

I forsee a possible election for a new mayor.

Hawthorne doesn’t identify as a crab.

I thought the crab was history in yesterday’s strip??!!

It’ll cost him an arm and a leg.

And Sherman’s having hunger pangs again, right about….

Better thank him from afar.

You’re not listening to Sherman, Hawthorne.

Hawthorne just isn’t getting the hint, is he?

I like how characters just get eaten in this strip. Never the main ones of course, but still.

You can stop thanking him now.

Finally, someone is being more clueless than Sherman.

Steamed with salted water; drawn butter with some Old Bay. Enjoy.

You better run, Hawthorne!!!!

Take the hint Hawthorne. Pay the shark.

I think we all see where this might be going. But probably not …
