Visual Description:  Spoilsport, losing ungraciously . . . again.

RIEPZ  =  PRIZE,  HITGT  =  TIGHT,  MEDODO  =  DOOMED,  BEMLFU  =  FUMBLE   —   Giving us:  RIETHTOMFBE

Clue/Question:  He acted his worst, after his opponent got the . . .

Answer:  BETTER OF HIM

(Old standby clue words – jumbled nicely.  Great answer letter layout – no giveaway.  Demonstrative cartoon.  Good word play.  I always find the continue the sentence ones a little easier to solve?  How about the rest of you guys?  Do you prefer the ones that ask a question, or the ones that continue the sentence?  Enquiring uncles want to know!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
