Product Description

What happens in Sherman's Lagoon doesn't always stay in Sherman's Lagoon. In this, the fourteenth collection of Sherman's Lagoon comic strips, we examine the once-taboo subject of sea turtle courting rituals and conclude that, although sea turtles may be remarkable navigators, it's a cruel exercise in Darwinism when they show up at the right place without the right pickup line.

With 280 strips featuring the adventures and misadventures of Sherman the great white shark and undersea entourage, Confessions of a Swinging Sea Turtle gives fans of the strip a much-needed dip in Sherman's Lagoon.

Customer Reviews

A lovely set of lively and fun encounters between sea life and humanity evolves
Any fan of Sherman's Lagoon already knows there are numerous comic strip collections - but may not realize that Confessions of a Swinging Single Sea Turtle represents the 14th such gathering. Black and white and facing color pages of cartoon strips make for an outstanding gathering with a focus on not just a lonely sea turtle looking for love, but other Sherman underwater characters. A lovely set of lively and fun encounters between sea life and humanity evolves in a collection highly recommended for any general-interest library.

Continues to be fun
I ran into Sherman in a book store a long time ago (our local paper doesn't carry) and have enjoyed the strip through these collections. This 14th selection is a good collection. You really have to wonder who vacations on this island with so many of the tourists getting eaten or pinched by crabs. There's got to be a draw somewhere - maybe Mr. Toomey should consider that as a story line "Come to Kapupu Island and leave home without extraneous spouses, dogs, or limbs"? Good stuff and a chuckle in every strip.
