Clue/Question:  After an exhausting day of frightening people, the legendary horseman was a – – –

Answer:  SLEEPY HEAD

(Marvelous seasonal pun!  A little early in the month, perhaps, but still great.  The guys can’t do nothing but baseball and football puns, now can they?  The individual jumbles can be surprising.  We have a new clue word today, in “whoosh”!  Our dear friend, ralis95, will have to add this to his world famous clue word database.  But, it was the jumble for “poplar” that hung me up, once again!  Yes, I had to back into it!  Good thing it was the last word, and there was enough in the answer letter layout, along with the great cartoon and clue/question, for me to figure out the answer.  It even took me a bit of time to back into it.  The funny thing is we’ve seen this exact jumble for it before!  The cartoon was priceless.  A great all-around Jumble.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“Clothes make the man.  Naked people have little or no influence on society.”   —   Mark Twain

(That’s back when it was pretty rare to see a naked person!  He should’ve been around for the streaking fad of the 1970s.  We still get one from time to time.  They may have not influenced society all that much, but they were/are an entertaining distraction.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
