Clue/Question:  There will be Jumble cartoons every day as long as the cartoonist doesn’t – – –

Answer:  DRAW A BLANK

(And, ya know THAT ain’t gonna happen!  Our guys work together like a hand in glove.  They go together like peas and carrots.  I bet they’ve even grown to finish each other’s sentences!  Jeff is David’s “work wife”, and vice versa.  And, of course, the dogs are their kids . . . and frequent inspiration.  Each of them has a lot more than the Jumble going on, but they never fail to provide us with stinky puns!

All of today’s clue word are on the ralis95 clue word database.  It’s been quite a while since we’ve seen “bleak”.  Surprisingly, all of the jumbles appear to be new!  I especially liked “oradun”.  It reminds me of the actress and comedienne, Nora Dunn.  She used to be on SNL between 1985 to 1990, but she has also worked steadily since.  Just recently she’s had a recurring role on “Chicago Med”.  She’s good.  The answer letter layout was a tasty ten letter jumble.  I thought it was pleasantly cryptic.  But the final answer came to me right away.  I kinda think we’ve had this answer – or a version of it – before.

Great cartoon of the boys at work.  The dogs are all chillaxing.  I can’t make out what’s on David’s coffee mug.  Is there any doubt in anyone’s mind that Jeff is thinking of the band Wilco???  Of course he is.  I guess there’s an outside chance it could be POV.  But most likely it’s Wilco.  LOL!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

(There was a time when I loved planting and pruning, and such.  But now I can’t seem to be bothered.  I will occasionally get my hands dirty, but that seems to be getting rarer by the day.  Fairly challenging solve.  But I think the Celebrity Cipher was tougher!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
