Visual Description:  Traffic chopper reporting on the big back up.

WHYSO  =  SHOWY,  TELIE  =  ELITE,  LADPIL  =  PALLID,  LUSHIM  =  MULISH —   Giving us:  SOLTPDUIH

Clue/Question:  What the traffic reporter said when the police chase tied up the roads.

Answer:  “IT’S A HOLD UP“

(This cartoon is a little “showy”!  Some might consider “pallid” a little “elite”-ist, but they’re just being “mulish”.  That’s how our buddy Richard might put it!  Great words, and some nice answer letter scrambling.  Of course, the apostrophe kinda gives away that first word.  Then the rest just falls into place.  Tripped with my crutches, coming up the stairs, yesterday afternoon.  Came down on the cast foot pretty hard.  Felt like an idiot, sprawled on the hallway floor . . . again, but I didn’t seem to re-injure anything.  Cast intact, no pain.  Be good, do good, friends.)   — YUR
