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

I had a bit of trouble with “kernel” but I enjoyed the jumble dispite never having heard of the strip
Yeah. I thought it was fun too, Joe! — YUR
Uh-oh guyz! The puzzler in my paper for the 19th is goobered up. We have the clue words listed correctly for November 19, but we have the Pickles “cartoon” from he day before. I’ve been trying to make sense of it, so I checked our Friday paper to make sure I had the clue words solved correctly, and I did. Then I came to you Unc and saw a completely different cartoon.
Am enjoying the Cartoon jumbles!!! LL
