Visual Description: Approaching The 5th Dimension.
PAAHL = ALPHA, GIBEE = BEIGE, HUSTIA = HIATUS, HNURCB = BRUNCH — Giving us: APIEHITRUN
Clue/Question: They lifted off to see the sunrise, but when the balloon would land was – – –
Answer: UP IN THE AIR
(Good thing this was a fairly obvious pun, or I might never have gotten “hiatus”. Well, maybe if I had written out a slew of possibilities, I probably would have gotten it. But, I’m too lazy for that. None of the clue words were new, and “gibee” has been used as a jumble before. The other three are new. The answer letter layout a very nifty jumble too. And, the cartoon looks like a Folgers commercial. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

Oh, the Fifth Dimension. Thanks for that on a Sunday afternoon.
Gosh, I’ve just aged myself. And I double down: it used to be that the ride itself would be better than the song. Now, you wouldn’t catch my dead body being lift on that basket. But I still enjoy seeing them go up and away; won’t tell you though what they’d taken away from me for good. Cheers
I would have to be very medicated to go up in a balloon! Great puzzler. And I did not get caught on the clue words!
