Visual Description:  Ticket recipients, in what looks like Chi-town.

BOMERY  =  EMBRYO,  REGAHN  =  HANGER,  BIGTAM  =  GAMBIT,  CUPONE  =  POUNCE,  FRAIDT  =  ADRIFT,  CELFIK  =  FICKLE   —   Giving us:  ERNRGIPONAIFFK

Clue/Question:  Sounds good when leaving your car in an illegal space.

Answer:  “FINE“ FOR PARKING

(I had THE hardest time getting “EMBRYO”!  The next hardest clue-word, for me, was “ADRIFT”, but very few of them were no-brainers!  I thought I might have a little more trouble with the answer, but despite the great scrambling of the answer letters, I just knew that some form of PARK was in there.  I wonder if the cats in the cartoon are our boys?  Does this originate in Chicago?  Hmm!)   —   YUR
