Sherman's Lagoon by Jim Toomey for June 17, 2024

Tuxedophobia?

He had a bad experience during a visit to Bloom County.

Don’t polar bears & penguins live together in the wild?

He’s afraid of his dinner !!

Thornton is probably beginning to think that he should go have another smoothie.

Thornton probably had a run in with the Penguins of Madagascar and it didn’t go well.

So he’s not afeared?

You’re in denial, Thornton.

It’s not a fear, it’s a phobia.

Sherm: just bring him back a basket of Buffalo penguin wings.

Tekeli-l!i Tekeli-li! Thorton knows what lurks under the ice.

That’s fear, Thornton. Penguinaphobia.
