Clue/Question: One day people living in orbit will be able to watch TV on – – –
Answer: SPACE STATIONS
(Far out pun! Really out of this world! Could this be the Space Family Robinson-Peete??? Does my being white make that a “racist joke”? Tune in tomorrow to see if “offended parties” have forced Uncle Rave to give up his blog! Personally, I think the joke does not qualify as racist, but what do I know! The PC Police could kick in my my door any second now.
None of today’s clue words can be considered new. However, three of the jumbles can be. Only “maryec” has been used before, by my records. None of them were too tough. The answer letter layout was a nice 13-letter jumble. Sufficiently tough. I saw SPACE right away, and from ISSOATNT I was able to come up with STATIONS.
I know David frequently touts Jeff’s cartooning skills, and I just let them go without further inflating Jeff’s ego, but today I’ve got to hand it to Jeff. Today’s cartoon was exceptional! I got the feeling of the space station even without the answer letter layout. Nice job, buddy! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR

Easiest one this week, UR! We’re not following the ISS enough!
I too saw Space right away, and then Station with the remainder. I thought it was a little on the stinky side. 😀 Also, I noted the pseudo-2001 scene on the screen, with the apes near the curved obelisk. 😀
I had a REALLY hard time with CREAMY!! Took me forever to get it. LL
