Cryptoquote Spoiler – 11/13/17

“You are as young as your faith, as old as your doubt; as young as your self-confidence, as old as your fear.”   —   Samuel Ullman

(I guess I’m just a scared old man then.  I can be arrogant and narcissistic at times, but I’ve never had either “faith” – by choice, or self-confidence – not by choice.  I could probably keep a shrink gainfully employed for quite a while.  But, I still consider myself very youthful.  Hey, Happy Prime Number Day!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Clue/Question:  The city was safer because of Dick Tracy’s – – –

Answer:  CRIME WATCH

(Hey!  It’s guest cartoonist week at the Jumble!  This is always a lot of fun.  There were no new clue words today, but all of the jumbles came up as new.  Good jumbles, but I saw them all instantly.  The answer letter layout was a great jumble as well.  It hid the answer commendably.  And, what can you say about the fantastic Dick Tracy cartoon?!?!  It’s priceless.  My newspaper doesn’t carry Dick Tracy, so this really takes me back.  Nice job, Joe Staton.  Way ahead of their time, with the two-way wrist watches!  I can hardly wait to see what’s coming up next.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
