Broderick A past character who is not remembered. He is a seahorse who wears thick glasses similar to Ernest's and a striped tie. His character wasn't developed much, as he often appeared in crowd scenes or strips where another straight man was needed. His character was retired in the early 1990s. Enemies The Giant Squid Sherman's arch-rival. He is fat and has short tentacles and two bulging eyes. He has only spoken once in the strip. Otherwise, he makes noises that sound a lot like flatulence. His role is to fight Sherman and he is usually the victor (he was shown getting eaten in one strip, but this could have been another giant squid). In one strip, Sherman found that he could not beat the squid at his own game of (Twister), and challenged him to a Monopoly match. They have also been seen playing chess, but once again resorted to violence to solve their differences. He had not been seen in the strip for several years, leading many fans to speculate that his character had been retired. However, he showed up in a later strip at a fancy restaurant where he fought Sherman, leaving him in the end twisted into a pretzel. The Dolphin Another of Sherman's enemies. Like the giant squid, the dolphin usually gets the best of Sherman, though he does so by outsmarting the shark rather than fighting him (a reference to the high intelligence of real dolphins). The dolphin regularly takes advantage of Sherman's stupidity, such as asking to borrow his credit card or asking him for two ten-dollar bills as change for a five-dollar bill. Sherman once attempted to have him and the dolphin sign a peace treaty, only to have the dolphin trick Sherman into signing a contract leaving all of his possessions to him in the event of his demise, followed by a contract donating all of Sherman's organs for immediate research. Gary Gary is a large blue fish who is the most prominent member of Northside Lagoon, the rival to Kapupu Lagoon. He frequently appears when causing mischief in Kapupu Lagoon or when both Lagoons are competing in the Annual Lagoon Challenge, with Northside Lagoon always winning due to in part the incompetence of the Kapupu Lagoon challengers. In June 2021, Kapupu Lagoon finally did win the annual challenge, partly due to unsportsmanlike conduct on their part. Books Collections A collection
