Answer:  SLOWPOKE

(Wow!  Not easy for yer dear old uncle.  It took a while for me to come up with the final answer, because I didn’t even realize that “slowpoke” was a compound word!  I would have spelled it out as two words.  I still want to know what body comes up with these kind of designations.  No new clue words, today.  Hey ralis95!  Check your email for Sunday’s Jumble.  Three new jumbles, with “lapowl” having been used before.  The answer letter layout had me stumped for a while.  Great cartoon, too.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
