Visual Description:  Lost scene from The Exorcist.

PROEA  =  OPERA,  DESYE  =  SEEDY,  RILAPS  =  SPIRAL,  SUREVS  =  VERSUS   —   Giving us:  OESEDSPRESS

Clue/Question:  He was late for the exorcism because his car had been – – –

(Good groaner of a movie pun!  No new clue words, but three of the jumbles came up as new.  We have seen “surevs” before.  The answer letter layout was a nice jumble too.  I didn’t pick up on the movie angle until I read the clue/question.  The name Regan rang a bell, but I knew this wasn’t King Lear!  Although, she could be pretty scary herself!  Nice cartoon.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
