GRTIE  =  TIGER,  ADGRU  =  GUARD,  NCNNAO  =  CANNON,  DIRIBE  =  BIRDIE   —   Giving us:  TERGADANNBIRI

Clue/Question:  The Grizzly didn’t love having his photo taken, but he would – – –

Answer:  GRIN AND BEAR IT

(Oh, don’t be such a bear!  A lot of people, especially guys, seem to have a problem smiling, whether it be for photos, or just in general.  I don’t know if they think it’s a sign of weakness, or what, but they always try to look so serious.  I think it’s dumb, because life is too short to be always wearing a puss.  Enjoy your here and now, because tomorrow you could be saying Ciao . . . to this mortal coil.

All of today’s clue words are oldies but goodies.  A couple of the jumbles appear to be new, but we’ve seen “grtie” and “diribe” at some earlier point in time.  The only one that took me a second look was “diribe”.  The answer letter layout was a thrilling thirteen letter jumble.  If it weren’t for the totality of the cartoon subjects, the lead up in the clue/question, and the layout of the final answer slots, this jumble would’ve been tough to unscramble!

Gotta love a talking animals cartoon.  Especially one with a Yogi Bear theme!  It looks like Yogi’s California cousins are visiting Jellystone Park for a family vacation.  No sign of Ranger Smith, or Boo-Boo!  We used to have a newspaper cartoon called Grin and Bear It!  I really enjoyed that too, even though it was almost never about bears.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
