(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

Unc, that could be an open window on the side of the shed by Ms. Wife’s hand???
Great puzzler. Yea, he found one more! Bless his heart. Oh, I remember the day I scrunched up my pack of cigs and threw them into the dumpster on the way into work. Cold turkey!! That was 31 years ago. And it was soooo hard. And my boss called me into his office a couple of times, threw some money at me and told me to go by some of those **##$% cigarettes if the mood I was in continued!! Thank goodness I’ve yet to pick them back up. UGH!
And, I don’t still want to smoke, for so many reasons. BUT, every once in a purple moon, something triggers one of those “wish I had a cigarette” feelings. Am so glad I never acted on that feeling.
I ended up having to diagram both mosaic and kudos. That was some grand jumbling! LL
To me it looks like the handle of a lawnmower sticking out of the shed. If you look closely you can even see the throttle lever !
Cheers
LL,
So glad you were able to beat those nasty cigs! Kudos was tough, partly because we’ve never had it before. Mosaic was just a really good jumble.
Jeff,
You could be right. The handle of a lawn mower is a definite possibility! — YUR
Congratulations on crushing the habit, LL, well done and a round of applause!! jenn
