Answer:  DROP IN THE BUCKET

(Cute pun!  Definitely not a gimme.  We have a new clue word in “hubcap”!  Our dear friend, ralis95, will need to add this to his world famous clue word database.  I think it’s the first new word in a while.  The other five are old favorites.  The jumble “lartel” has been used before, but the other five are new.  The answer letter layout was a super jumble in its own right.  Nothing obvious about it.  Great cartoon too.  If you have the reduced size one you might not be able to see the little deer in the background, having a little sip of sap!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
