Answer:  LAUGHABLE

(Veddy nice!  The clue words were all jumbled really well.  The jumblings all looked new to me.  We even had a new clue word today, in “doodle”!  ralis95 will have to add this to his clue word database.  The answer letter layout was splendid.  It gave nothing away.  The cartoon is hilarious.  It looks like David’s “coffee” has a head on it, and Jeff’s “wine” is being served with some kind of garnish.  Great way to start the week.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

TIRBET  =  BITTER,  CRINUH  =  URCHIN,  HUCBER  =  CHERUB,  SAFOIC  =  FIASCO,  SUEDOX  =  EXODUS,  MISTAG  =  STIGMA   —   Giving us:  TTCHHEACEOUST

Clue/Question:  Before the cop was done arresting him, the suspect was ready to – – –

Andy!!! Opie stole the Squad Car (Photo credit: Al_HikesAZ)

Answer:  CUT TO THE CHASE

(Fantastic pun!  You can just see the wheels turning in the burglars head.  By the time this clown is done with his spiel I could be outta here!  Hey, the door is open, the gate is open, and the Barney Fife character doesn’t seem to be exuding confidence.  But, the self-preservationist in the burglar is thinking:  Alright, you got me!  Just shut up already, and put the cuffs on me!

No new clue words today, but some super jumbling all around.  I had trouble getting three of them, and I was really happy to finally get “fiasco”, because I’m not so sure I would have been able to back into it.  It took me longer than usual to come up with the solution with all the letters.  I don’t know if I could have solved it without the A and the C.  The answer letter layout was beautiful.  It made you think the five letter word might be HOUSE, but that would have used up 3 of the 5 vowels!  Then I thought that the second word might have been AS, or the first might have been ACT, but I couldn’t take that anywhere.  I had to stand up and start to walk away before it struck me.  Nice job, Hoyt!  The cartoon was priceless!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Answer:  FLAT FEE

 

(Interesting Jumble.  No new clue words, but I did have to go to the manual ralis95 clue word database to verify that “coffee” is not new.  Decent jumbling.  The answer letter layout was swell, but it was kind of hard hiding today’s answer.  The cartoon tells the whole story.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Answer:  BESIDE HIMSELF

(Wow!  A 13 letter answer, on a weekday Jumble!  That’s fairly rare.  All the clue words were well-jumbled.  All the jumblings looked new to me.  The answer letter layout was a thing of beauty.  I don’t think it made the answer obvious in any way.  The cartoon brings back some ancient memories for me.  Very cool.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Answer:  HEART RACED

(How sweet!  She made his heart go pit-a-pat!  I’m just guessing that there were no new clue words today.  They look like pretty standard Jumble clue words.  I liked the jumbling of “alpaca” and “eatery”.  The answer letter layout didn’t seem to give anything away.  If there were an M and an extra C the letters could spell DREAM CATCHER . . . for whatever that is worth.  Cute cartoon.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
