Answer:  ON YOUR MARK

(Very clever . . . and very personal pun.  I liked it though.  Off The Mark, huh?  Another comic strip not carried by my newspaper, but I’ve never seen two newspapers that carry all the same ones.

There were no new clue words today, but all of the jumbles came up as new.  They were good, but I didn’t struggle to unjumble any of them.  The answer letter layout was another superb jumble.  If you didn’t pay attention to the name of the cartoon, or cartoonist, you may have had some difficulty in getting the answer.  Although that is pretty much the traditional call to the start of any race.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
