Sherman's Lagoon by Jim Toomey for January 26, 2024

Octopuses armed with sling shots. I want to see. (I almost typed ostriches)

Octopuses are pretty smart. I wouldn’t be too surprised if they were able to throw stones.

My Uncle Stonebender went to visit a tribal chief in the heart of darkest Africa. For the occasion, the chief ordered a new throne and stowed the old one in the attic. In the middle of the meal, the old throne broke through the ceiling and crashed into the soup pot.

The moral of this story is that people who live in grass houses shouldn’t stow thrones.

Is anybody disturbed by the fact a strange fatherly figure is travelling alone with a juvenile female or is it just me?

Sherman is also asking for the ink defense to be used against him.

Ouch.

If octopuses were meant to have slingshots, then you’d better head for the hills.

Giant. Tako. Salad.

I have noticed recently on several different strips (including today’s “Wizard of ID” I believe) where one character makes some comment- that has just been made brutally obvious—and the second character responds with “Noted.”
