Visual Description:  Dudes at a nursery.

PEELO  =  ELOPE,  TEJCE  =  EJECT,  MATARU  =  TRAUMA,  GUNFEL  =  ENGULF   —   Giving us:  ETTRE

Clue/Question:  He paid for his neighbor’s new oak because he wanted to  . . .

Answer:  “TREET“

 

The tall pines represent ‘long life’. The five deer (wu lu) is a near homophone for wishing good fortune (fu zhu 福祿). (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

(Ah, yes.  Kind of a homophone.  Nicely jumbled clue words.  None of them are new.  I liked the jumbling of “trauma” and “engulf”.  Not a lot you could do with the answer letter layout, but I bet it tripped some of you up.  Nice cartoon.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

PS.   —   You should see the racy drawing that Zemanta suggested.  It’s a Martin Van Maele.  I’d show you, but it’s just a little too erotic for the Jumble Spoiler.   —   YUR

“Zest is the secret of all beauty.  There is no beauty without zest.”   —   Christian Dior

(That’s because it’s 1/4 cleansing cream!  You’re not really clean until you’re zestfully clean.  And after all, cleanliness is next to Godliness.  And, Godliness is somewhere on Rodeo Drive!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
