Fresh Pretzels! Week Four



Do too a glitch with my Dreamweaver software I couldn't upload the latest installment of Fresh Pretzels! on it's regular Thursday posting yesterday.

It's Friday, and that means it's time for another visit to Fishtown, Pennsylvania with Jeff Kilpatrick's weekly dose of Fresh Pretzels! (click on the link to see this week's strip).
You can start from the begining here.

A "private eye" Happy Birthday to.....
