Visual Description:  Family biz.

FIDTR  =  DRIFT,  FINKE  =  KNIFE,  KEREAU  =  EUREKA,  LWOOLH  =  HOLLOW   —   Giving us:  DRTKEERALOW

Clue/Question:  When the sisters started a business together, much of what they did was – – –

Answer:  WORK–RELATED

(Okay.  A good stinky pun.  And, a fairly challenging solve!  Even though there was realtors in the dialog, and realty on the desk sign, I was still trying to come up with something REAL.  Or, REAL something, actually.

None of today’s clue words are new.  And, this is based on THE latest version of the ralis95 world famous clue word database, just issued on 01/13/2020!  It now consists of nearly 34 full pages of words.  33 and 2/3rds, to be precise!  Three of the jumbles appear to be new, with “finke” having definitely been used sometime before.  The answer letter layout was commendable eleven letter jumble.  It hid the final answer from me, until I pulled out REAL, and was left with DRTKEOW.  These letters helped me see WORK, and made me realize that . . . nothing is REAL, people!  It’s all an illusion!  No, I simply saw the answer/got the pun.

Fine cartoon of the sisterly business.  It made me think of a real estate office.  I wonder if they’re twins???  Anyway, this made me think of “American Beauty”, which I haven’t seen since it first came out, 21 years ago!  Great movie.  I loved it!  I just IMDB’ed it, and what a great cast!  Jumbles can conjure up some great memories.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

PS.  Also, I have a niece who is a realtor.   —   YUR

PPS.  If you Google “lady realtors” you get a lot of pictures of a girl’s volleyball team.  I was not expecting that!   —   YUR
