Clue/Question:  The crustacean that didn’t like visitors was a – – –

Answer:  HERMIT CRAB

(This could be yer Uncle Rave!  When I’m doing my puzzles in the morning I hate being disturbed by conversation.  This guy appears to be actually reading the news though.  “The Daily Current”!  A story about yet another sunken sailboat, no less.  Very funny!

No new clue words today.  But all of the jumbles are coming up as new, for me.  I was able to see them all right away.  The answer letter layout was a terrific ten letter jumble.  It was beautifully cryptic.  Nice job, cuz!

But of course the cartoon was the biggest clue.  Really great seahorse and jellyfish.  Possibly a Portuguese Man-o-war?  And, the main character, the reclusive crab, is clearly a hermit crab . . . trying to read his newspaper.  He’s clearly highly evolved!  LOL!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

“Letting someone know that you need help is a true show of strength.”   —   Mecca Woods

(Unfortunately, this is not the way I was brought up.  I don’t know if it is generational, or something unique to me.  I don’t know about “a show of strength”, but I do think we all should be encouraged to ask for help . . . from an early age.  First quote from Mecca Woods here at the Cryptoquote.  We welcome Ms. Woods to the Cryptoquote Club today.  Be well and do good friends.)   —   YUR
