Answer:  HIGH ON THE HOG

(Daffy’s got to get himself a better agent!  Or, maybe a better accountant, because he should be pretty close to Porky in stature.  There were no new clue words today, but – surprisingly – all of the jumbles came up as new.  I didn’t have any trouble getting them.  The answer letter layout was pretty nifty.  But, with the great cartoon, and the leading nature of the clue/question, I got the answer immediately.  I always love it when Jeff gives us Looney Tunes characters!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

English: Stacy London from “What not to Wear”. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

“Never let a trend get in the way of creating a great outfit for yourself.”   —   Stacy London

(I knew the name sounded familiar, and I should have made the connection between that and the quote, but I just couldn’t.  I was asking my wife if she knew who she was, and my daughter walked in the room and said:  What Not to Wear!  It’s not the kind of television show that I look for, but I have watched a few episodes with my daughter.  Decent show, and an attractive woman.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
