Clue/Question: Kong had trouble finding a meal that was – – –
Answer: FIT FOR A KING
(“My wife’s cooking is fit for a king. Here King, here King!” That’s one of my buddy, Tony’s, favorite gags! But of course, he actually loves his wife’s cooking. He has a very sensitive stomach, and likes things on the bland side. To each his own. She doesn’t like people calling him Tony though. She says: Your name is Anthony. Why do you let them call you Tony? Uh . . . Again, to each his own!
No new clue words today, however three of the jumbles appear to be new. We’ve surprisingly seen “fimdef” before. It was the only jumble that I thought was tough. The answer letter layout was a masterpiece of a jumble. Very nicely cryptic. I’m stuck with the reduced-sized cartoon for the next few days, so I can’t make out any clever detail. Love the big ape though! The blond sweep of hair is a little different. If the tie were longer, I’d say Jeff was going for a Donald Trump look! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

I sure hope that the peeps with the large cartoon know how fortunate they are.
MIFFED — the only reason I got it quickly was that I put the two Fs together and started with the M. Stroke of luck, that! Think it would have held me up a bit. Good hump day jumble! LL
OK all. I am now realizing that I’m still left of center…it is NOT hump day. I think I need to get some sleep! LL
