Sherman's Lagoon by Jim Toomey for August 20, 2023

“Crescent roll”

It’s not important how it’s pronounce Sherman. Just make Fillmore give you a crescent roll.

Je ne sais quoi

Panel #3: In the USA it’s spelled guttural.

So, they’re back from the Antarctic???

Make mine chocolate!

It’s too late for Sherman to learn French.

Trying to ask for a crescent roll.

Crescent is pronounced crescent. Croissant is pronounced croissant.

Crescent rolls are not something worth losing your voice over. Sherman should have just taken the whole tray from Fillmore.

So …. Sherman ….. How did they taste ….. you “DID” get to eat some …. didn’t you …. :)

Fillmore, stop making fun of Sherman’s French. It doesn’t sound like yours is much better, and crescent is an accurate English translation anyway.

Mmm … soggy underwater croissants!

Got a turtle caught in it

Fancy breakfast bread. ;)

And the literal translation of “croissant” to English is “crescent”; thus, “crescent roll”. Snobby little turtle. Maybe someone from the ACLU or DNC needs to scream at him about “cultural appropriation”. :)

The common pronunciation is food.
