Clue/Question:  The plumbing fixture shop closed because their revenue was – – –

Answer:  DOWN TO A TRICKLE

(The pun doesn’t stink as much as the situation does.  This is a shame, but this is the price we pay for unfettered Capitalism.  Some people complain that there is too much regulation!  HA!  It is to laugh!  Those people have just bought into corporate mantra.

No new clue words today.  However, all of the jumbles did come up as new.  Nothing too difficult though.  The answer letter layout was a terrific twelve letter jumble.  Nothing given away there.  I solved the final answer sort of backwards.  I got A and TRICKLE, and from OWND I figured out DOWN.

Fun cartoon.  I liked the cobwebs on the one fixture, and two of the fixtures dripping.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
