Answer:  PUT UP A STINK

(Do I have to say it?  Heck, why not?  That was one stinky pun!  It seems we have a new clue word today, and it’s a word that probably isn’t readily accepted in England, as WordPress does not like “junky”!  We also seem to have three new jumbles, with only “cupeno” definitely having been used here before.  The answer letter layout was not a masterpiece, but it was pretty good.  Cute cartoon.  But who’d be dumb enough to think you can shoo away a skunk with a tennis racket?  The guy got what he deserved!  Hey, guys!  Guess what?  Mort Walker turns 92 today!  Happy birthday, Mort!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
