Sherman’s Lagoon Crew Beats Aquaman, Namor To The Gulf Region

I don't have anything to say about this feature story, I just sort of wanted to type that headline. Three things leap out at me. The first two are from the story itself. One is that cartoonist Jim Toomey thought the oil flow would be stemmed well before his work -- with a six-week lag time -- saw publication. Two is that he sort of found it hard to be funny about the incident, which I think is understandable. The third is that despite the fact this is a three-week storyline ending July 17, I don't see it in the Sherman's Lagoon viewer. Maybe I'm nuts, but I can't find it. Given the oddness of the general coverage of the incident, a non-existent response storyline might be almost too perfect, although I'm probably just missing something.
