We at HTFP Towers feel blessed as we’ve been able to bring you a set of Funnies for the past five Fridays. We’re pretty sure that this has never happened before and, you’ll be pleased to know, we still have a load more to bring you soon.

Thanks for sending them in and keep them coming to: [email protected].
