“I live in the crowds of jollity, not so much to enjoy company as to shun myself.”   —   Samuel Johnson

(I had to look up “jollity”, to see if it was listed as archaic.  Surprisingly, it wasn’t.  I don’t think I’ve ever heard the word used before.  Must be a Brit thing.  But, it was the word “crowds” that was solved last.  These two words made this a challenging solve.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Visual Description:  K-Oed by the canine corps, at the aeroport.

SITNIS  =  INSIST,  NANCNO  =  CANNON,  TUNRAT  =  TRUANT,  GERTER  =  REGRET,  SAUDEP  =  PAUSED,  GAUTOE  =  OUTAGE   —   Giving us:  ITCNNRNTEETASEOT

Clue/Question:  The airport’s security canine was the . . .

Answer:  “SCENTER“ OF ATTENTION

(Wow!  Great pun!  Great answer letter layout!  And, great cartoon!  I’m kind of surprised that both the Saturday and Sunday Jumbles were very challenging.  That is kind or a rarity.  No new clue words.  Decent clue word jumbling, but nothing too difficult.  For me, it was all about the answer.  And, I thought it was a pretty good challenge.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
