Visual Description:  Malodorous high seas chess match.

EINTP  =  INEPT,  BLAMU  =  ALBUM,  AAESVG  =  SAVAGE,  TRXEVO  =  VORTEX   —   Giving us:  ETLMSAATE

Clue/Question:  After so many days at sea, his buddy was becoming a . . .

Answer:  STALE MATE

(OK.  This jumble would’ve been better had they switched the order of “savage” and “vortex”.  Because, as it stands, one can clearly see the word “mate” in the scrambled answer letters.  A little attention to detail, guys!  If you need a Quality Control person, I’m your guy.  The clue words were good.  No problem there.  Classic seascape cartoon, with the sinking sailboat in the background.  Is that someone calling for help on the edge of the sinking boat?  Nice little predictable pun for the answer.  And, I like the name of our characters’ sailboat.  Please enjoy the gratuitous girlie pic!  Alright, friends.  Go out and do good deeds today.  As you should every day.)   — YUR
