Answer:  SERVED HIM WELL

(Very nice pun.  And, a fairly challenging Jumble.  I don’t know if this was supposed to be Vitas, or not.  I just chose a tennis player who was known for his head of hair, and who won Wimbledon.  We have a new clue word today, in “vowel”.  ralis95 can add this to his world famous clue word database.  We’ve seen the jumble for “emcee” before, but the others are new.  Great answer letter layout.  I love the cartoon!  Gotta go visit my sweetie in the hospital!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
