Clue/Question:  The orchard started by Yogi and Smokey was almost certain to do this.

Answer:  BEAR FRUIT

(Fun Friday Fare!  I found the first three clue words to be pretty obvious, but I liked “unfair”.  The answer letters were well scrambled.  The cartoon was cute.  And, the answer made for a nice pun.  Ya can’t really ask for much more.  Now, can you?  Be well, friends.)   —   YUR
