(Tough cookies, Georgie Porgie! That’s what you get for all that taxation without representation thing! Thought we was chumps, didja? Well, we showed you a thing, or two. Didn’t we? Of course it did help that we had the home field advantage, and you had to cross the Atlantic Ocean – repeatedly – to get to us. And of course, there was that whole ongoing thing with the French that you had to deal with. And, we didn’t always stand in a big, dopey line and allow your guys to just shoot us, like you were used to. Guerrilla warfare is a bitch, ain’t it? We really more outlasted you and frustrated you than anything. But, we got what we wanted.
There were no new clue words today. Three of the jumblings were new, to me. I only see “bravo”‘s being used before. I especially liked the jumbling of “locale”. The answer letter layout was not so revealing. And, that’s a good thing. Great cartoon! You can even make out some of John Hancock‘s signature, if you look closely. Be well and do good, friends. Have a safe and happy fourth!) — YUR
