(I don’t think any of the words are new.  Beautiful jumbling though.  Great job on the answer letter layout too.  This one of Jeff’s odder cartoons, with the couple appearing to be driving away from what you’d call the “sight”.  I know I missed an is in that last sentence, but I’m not going to risk losing this.  I need a damn mouse!  LOL!  It took me a little time to get this answer.  I don’t know if Jeff  was trying to make this a little less obvious, or he was just struggling with the drawing angles, or what.  The end result is that it’s a bit more challenging.  Be well and do good, friends.)  —   YUR

(Yet another quote about conciseness! I wonder who Rebecca is trying to get this point across to.  Don’t kill me for ending that sentence with a preposition.  I’m writing this on my daughter’s I-pad thingy!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

ps.   I forgot, this is not set up for Zemanta, so no pics or related stories.  I can’t figure out how to highlight the text for color either.  Sorry.   —    YUR
