Answer:  BEFORE HER EYES

(Wow!  I didn’t see that coming.  Actually, I did.  As I’m sure most of you did too.  You probably had more difficulty in unscrambling some of the clue words, than getting the answer.  None were new, but they were all jumbled well.  The answer letter layout was done well too.  It didn’t give anything away.  The cartoon tells the story, and the clue/question leads to a very familiar phrase.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“Don’t go around saying the world owes you a living.  The world owes you nothing.  It was here first.”   —   Mark Twain

(He’s 100% correct, of course.  You can’t carry around that:  I didn’t ask to be born attitude, you may have once had as a child.  No one asks to be born, and very few ask to die.  It just happens.  It’s up to each of us to do something with our life.  If you weren’t born into some great wealth, you better be prepared to work for your living.  That’s just how it is.  Life isn’t always “fair”.  It can be hard, or it can be easy.  It all depends on how you approach it.  Instead of looking at the bad and asking:  Why me?  Look at the good and ask:  Why not me?  One last thing, folks.  Dollars to donuts Twain said this as an old man.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
