Default "Sherman's Lagoon"


The somewhat obscure comic strip, "Sherman's Lagoon," had a
fairly creditable PBY in its July 20 cartoon:
http://www.slagoon.com/dailies/SL03.07.27.gif. I'm not aware of
any PBYs that are used as water bombers (don't think they'd be very
good at it...) but this strip has had realistic WW II aircraft
previously--a TBF/TBM a couple of years ago IIRC.
Does anybody know whether the artist (Jim Toomey) is a WW II
or airplane buff?
