It pains me that Jim Toomey has made what I'm going to call The Big Comic Strip Mistake (also known as The Big Sitcom Mistake in TV Land). Toomey is the writer and artist on one of my all-time favourite comic strips, Sherman's Lagoon. A story arc that's been running for the last couple or three weeks has had me worried, and now I fear that this isn't going to turn into a dream sequence. The Big Comic Strip Mistake is, simply put, when a comic strip writer has finally run out of jokes or ideas and decides that a massive change is necessary in the strip. I don't know that Toomey has actually run out of ideas, as I still found Sherman hilarious up until this abomination.
Oh, this is painful, so I'll just say it. Sherman and Megan are now parents of a baby boy named Herman. It'll be the ruination of the strip, I tell ya. I'm already not laughing.
Please, Jim, make it a dream (nightmare) sequence. I'm crossing my fingers for ol' Sherm. ... Okay, I'll go sulk now. :(
