Sherman's Lagoon by Jim Toomey for December 08, 2023

This could take a long time.

The clacking could bring unwanted attention!!

I’d like to try this underwater sometime. Will it even work at all? Or will there be too much dampening?

Do it, Hawthorne, before you get caught and eaten.

Typical that the Newton’s Cradle would distract Hawthorne.

Hard to resist.

Hawthorne, don’t touch a mans balls.

If Newton actually saw what is popularized as a “Newton’s Cradle”, he would be rolling over in his … cradle?

For those wondering how Hawthorne got up on the desk, I theorize that he first jumped onto the chair seen in Panel 2, and got onto the desk from there.
