Visual Description:  Fishermen divvying up their proceeds.

HILTE  =  LITHE,  SLARN  =  SNARL,  QUOPEA  =  OPAQUE,  PORTHY  =  TROPHY   —   Giving us:  IHSNRPAETRP

Clue/Question:  What the co-owners of the fishing boat shared.

Answer:  A “PARTNER–SHIP“

(Nice start to the year!  “OPAQUE” is a really great clue word.  Great scrambling of the answer letters, and a nice little pun.  Can anyone tell me what’s missing from this cartoon?  It was just mentioned, very recently.)   — YUR
