Sherman's Lagoon by Jim Toomey for May 18, 2022

So you’ll go with me. I’m kind of scrapping the bottom of the barrel here.

Responsible? Hawthorne?

Hawthorn is so conceited that any attention is considered a compliment to him.

You’re not being a responsible child considering him a responsible adult.

I’m guessing that 53 is the total number of adults that young Ernest knows in the lagoon.

Hawthorne ain’t responsible.

We now know Ernest knows 53 adults. Counting Hawthorne, who barely counts.

wow, he couldn’t find a few dozen more candidates…?

Haha! XD

thats a bonus!
