Clue/Question:  Falling asleep in the sunbeam with her solar cell toy was a – – –

Answer:  POWER NAP

(Love it!  I’m a lifelong fan of Hi and Lois.  None of today’s clue words are new, but all of the jumbles came up as new.  It took me about 15 seconds to un-jumble “luwant”.  The answer letter layout was also a great jumble that makes you think.  Trixie loves taking naps in *her* sunbeam, along with her favorite, well-worn stuffed bear, or with Dawg – the family dog.  For some reason, my paper only carries Hi and Lois on Sunday, but it’s worth the wait.  We DO get Beetle Bailey daily.  These solar cell toys are a lot of fun.  My mom has one that has a waving Queen Elizabeth II, with the solar panel on her purse.  Such a regal wave!  She has another one that looks like a ladybug on a flower, in a flowerpot.  The sunshine makes her flap her wings.  Very clever.  I hope you are enjoying the guest cartoonists as much as I am.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
