Visual Description:  Gumshoe Gets Graveyard Ghoul Graffitist!

ISOTH  =  HOIST,  EDDAD  =  ADDED,  SNGRIT  =  STRING,  DOBRIF  =  FORBID   —   Giving us:  HOTADESTGRID

Clue/Question:  When the zombie was nabbed committing a crime, he was caught . . .

Answer:  DEAD TO RIGHTS

(This one was a lot of fun!  Nice mug shot, huh?!?!  All around good jumbling of the clue words.  It looks like some were having trouble coming up with “hoist”.  The surprising new addition to the ralis95 clue word database is “string”.  The answer letter layout was nice and cryptic.  A nice, long, 12 letter answer.  And, we had another, ever-popular, zombie cartoon to illustrate a well known idiom.  Nice going, men!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

(Well, that sounds simple enough.  Some people are very good at problem solving in their dreams.  On more than a few occasions, my wife has been able to go to bed thinking about a problem from work, dream about it, solve the problem in her dream, and then be able to apply her dream resolution to the waking problem.  People at work aren’t sure they should take her seriously, when she says she worked it out in a dream, but they don’t argue with her results!  Me?  Nowadays, I either don’t dream very much, or I generally just don’t remember them.  I used to have some fairly interesting dreams, but not so much anymore.  One thing for sure is that I can’t direct them.  Not like she does, anyway.   Maybe these days I just daydream more than some do.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
