SHERMAN'S LAGOON By Jim Toomey


Purple fish : "IS ANYBODY GOING TO BITE THAT LURE?"

Sherman : "NO, WHY WOULD WE WANT TO DO THAT?"

Purple fish : "JUST PICTURE YOURSELF ON THE END OF THAT LINE, AN EPIC CONFLICT BETWEEN FISH AND MAN.

CUT TO THE FISHERMAN IN THE BOAT... THE ROD BENDS, THE REEL SCREAMS...

MEANWHILE, UNDERWATER, I THRASH AND I STRUGGLE, BUT IT'S FUTILE. I FINALLY SURRENDER...

HE HAULS ME INTO THE BOAT; WE LOOK AT EACH OTHER, THE HUNTER AND THE HUNTED; THEN HE THROWS ME BACK IN THE WATER."

The purple fish bite the fish bait and went up the water.

Sherman : "THEY PUT HIM IN A COOLER."

Ernest : "HE WATCHES TOO MANY FISHING SHOWS."
