Answer:  “PURR–SISTENT“

(Where’s Eartha Kitt when you need her???  I have to admit, I was always more of a Julie Newmar man – okay, boy – but Eartha couldn’t be topped at the rolling of her Rs, when making her purr-puns, as Catwoman, in the 1960’s Batman series.  What campy fun that was!  I think the show was what got me into comic books as a boy.  Great memories.

We have a new clue word today, in “burger”.  Our good friend, ralis95, can add it to his world famous clue word database!  Two of the other jumbles came up as new, with “purngs” having been used previously.  The answer letter layout was another great jumble, and didn’t give the answer away.  The cartoon’s dialog, the clue/question, and the quotation marks and hyphen, were the biggest clues to the answer.  Punny Jumble.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

The Fault in Our Screens, Colltalers

With all due respect to victims of violent crimes, and their families and friends, there is such a thing as making even the aftermath of a tragedy worse. For instance, the gun massacre that killed 16 people in San Bernardino last Wednesday.
There’ve been already plenty of mass shootings in the U.S. this year. But what was shamefully different this time around was a televised media invasion of the suspects’ home, that was almost as despicable as the murders themselves.
For what appears to be an undue exaggeration – equating the violation of someone’s privacy to human carnage – may not be so when considering the callous act’s implications, and how poorly it bodes to the state of what’s deemed news nowadays.
