(Excellent.  Nice 12 letter answer.  It looks like we have a new clue word, in “kudos”.  ralis95 can add this to his clue word database!  All of the jumbles appear to be new.  I thought they were all great, but especially the one for “mosaic”.  The answer letter layout was another great jumble.  Definitely not a give away.  Super job on the cartoon.  I like all the butts by the guy’s sandaled feet, and the smoke effect.  Not quite sure what that is coming from the front/side of the shed, above the wife’s accusing finger, but it doesn’t detract from the overall drawing.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

PS.   Happy 85th Birthday to Arnold Palmer!  (He graciously gave me his autograph a little over 47 years ago.)  You have always been a class act, Arnie!   —   YUR

“I am not a product of my circumstances.  I am a product of my decisions.”   —   Stephen Covey

(Very noble hyperbole from a . . . guess what . . . motivational speaker!  The proper attitude – and fortitude – ARE very important attributes in succeeding at anything, but your environment and circumstances usually do have a say in the matter.  Some will overcome life’s various obstacles, others won’t.  If you don’t want to feel like a defeatist . . . you keep plugging.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

PS.   Yes, Art.  I did have to Google to get the V.  It could have been almost any one of the ten remaining letters.   —   YUR
