Visual Description:  Early age of technology.

POLEE  =  ELOPE,  RITEG  =  TIGER,  TRAGEH  =  GATHER,  UNNLAA  =  ANNUAL   —   Giving us:  OPETIEGTHRANU

Clue/Question:  They disagreed about which weapon was best and continued to – – –

Answer:  ARGUE THE POINT

(Remember when spears were high tech?  Well, even ralis95 isn’t THAT old!  No, there were no new clue words today.  I just thought I’d take a cheap shot.  Two of the jumbles came up as new.  But, we’ve definitely seen “polee” and “trageh” before.  The answer letter layout did an excellent job of concealing the answer.  I started by figuring the middle word was THE, and worked from there.  I did this this morning and put it aside, so I don’t remember if I saw ARGUE or POINT next.  At this point what’s the point?  No one is going to argue with me about it.  Right?  The cartoon deserves to be full sized!  The paper I’m using is reduced, but The Post Star – online – version is great!  Much easier to see the great detail.  Satisfying Jumble.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
