I follow the Sherman's Lagoon comic strip in the Chicago Tribune. This past week Sherman, a great white shark, and his friend took a trip to the wreck of the USS Monitor because the friend, a fish, was studying the Civil War.
One problem, though, was that they had the Monitor located off the coast of South Carolina. They are very shocked to find the wreck is a retirement home for fish.
Today's strip balloons:
FIRST PANEL-- The friend: "I can't believe this famous Civil War shipwreck is now a retirement home for fish,"
SECOND PANEL-- The friend: "I mean, come on. The Monitor is a major historical landmark." Sherman, "Yeah."
THIRD PANEL-- The friend: "And they made it into a retirement home?"
FOURTH PANEL-- Sherman: "Should've at least become a casino."
Friend: "It's like talking to soup."
Well, It IS a Marine Sanctuary. --B-Runner
