Clue/Question:  To her, being tickled by her big sister was . . .

(Very nice!  Nicely jumble clue words.  I thought both “truant” and “toupee” were fairly challenging!  Surprisingly, there were another three new clue words t0day, in “grumpy”, “awaken” and “toupee”.   The answer letter layout was fantastic!  And a great cartoon.  I think making it a fill-in-the-blank/continuation question is what kind of gave it away for me.  But overall, a very nice Jumble.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
