Clue/Question:  Farley rolled on the barn floor because of his – – –

Answer:  “IN–STINKS“

(Dogs LOVE to roll in stink!  They can’t help themselves.  Farley is one of my all-time favorite comics dog!  He’s just a big lovable galoot.  For Better or For Worse is my mother’s favorite strip.  I think she identifies with Elly.  It’s a very wholesome, down to earth strip.  No new clue words today, but all of the jumbles seemed new.  I struggled to get “cousin”.  The answer letter layout was great.  Today’s guest Jumbler made for a very good pun.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

PS.  —   The Cryptoquote may, or may not, appear soon.  I posted it using WordPress’ preferred method, and it said that it had been posted.  But, when I clicked on their View Post button I got a 404 Error Message.  It doesn’t show up in my drafts or posts.  It’s out there . . . somewhere . . . in WordPress limbo.  Today’s Jumble Spoiler was posted the old fashioned way.   —   YUR
