Visual Description:  Marvin the Martian slumming with the Earthlings.

ADIYS  =  DAISY,  ARGTN  =  GRANT,  EBPELB  =  PEBBLE,  TKAECJ  =  JACKET   —   Giving us:  DAINTLEAE

Clue/Question:  The Martian didn’t like taking the bus because it made him feel . . .

Answer: ALIENATED

(A little send-up to Bugs Bunny and all the wonderful Looney Tunes characters.  Something us aging Baby Boomers can appreciate.  Warner Bros. made some of the best cartoons, of all time!  As simple as the word is, I can’t remember ever seeing “grant” before.  And maybe, “daisy” and “pebble” too.  ralis95 can give us the final word on what will be added to to the jumble clue word database.  I’m pretty sure we’ve had “jacket” before.  The answer totally makes sense, but I definitely wouldn’t say that it was easy to get.  Because of the phrasing of the clue/question, I figured it had to end in “ed”.  After that, it all just kinda fell into place.  Very good scrambling, today, Dave.  And, a very good likeness of Marvin, Jeff.  Enjoy this wonderful Spring day, friends!)   —   YUR

    PEBBLE is new, but the other three have been around for some time. I started out thinking the ending was “le” or “al” and spent a lot of time with that – to no avail of course.

    *yawn* I can’t remember the last time I got stuck on the jumble. Granted I only get the paper on weekdays.

    All the clue words were super easy today, and I got the answer without looking at the available letters–I just knew it was “alienated”. It happens rarely. Loved the Air Jordans commercial–took me back to when I was a kid 🙂
