Answer:  LICKETY–SPLIT

(It’s a good thing the guys didn’t try for a gymnastics theme to this answer.  Hey!  There were no new clue words today, and only two of the jumbles came up as previously unused.  And, they were “sayte” and “sivten”.  Reminds me of Jewish sisters I once knew.  But, that’s a story for another place and time. The answer letter layout was pretty darn spiffy.  I don’t think that it gave away a thing.  The cartoon is a little on the disturbing side.  I guess you can’t have everything.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
