Answer:  SPOKE FRANKLY

(Ayy!  Oh!  Fuhgeddaboudit!  How else was he gonna speak???  Lots to like in today’s Jumble.  No new clue words, but they were all jumbled well, and they all appear to be new jumblings.  I had a little trouble getting “uncork”.  I didn’t have to back into it, or anything.  It just took me a few look-sees.  The answer letter layout was stellar!  Really ring-a-ding-ding, baby!  And, the cartoon was a gas!  Did youse guys recognize those two squares on the wall, behind Francis?  Yeah, dat’s right, boys and girls.  None other than our two fave cats, Knurek and Hoyt.  Well, dis has been a blast, but it’s time to scramsville.  I hope you’ll join our little clambake real soon.  Ya dig?  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
