Sherman's Lagoon by Jim Toomey for March 21, 2023

The story has an unexpected twist.

Are the 2 of them going to share a pretzel?

This is a falafel joke.

Soggy pretzel. Yuk.

The vendor is being honest advertising “Soft pretzels” but maybe they should be called Mushy pretzels.

The seawater ensures they’re already salted.

Real soft pretzels are a Philadelphia thing.

Either that vendor is literal-minded, or Sherman didn’t specify that he meant ‘What pretzels do you recommend’.

Typical New Yorker.

“Now run along, sonny.”

Definitely a New Yorker….

Don’t get your pretzels in a knot.

likely a VERY soft Pretzel since they are under water.

Haha! XD
