Clue/Question:  The African feline king’s son would eventually become king because he was – – – 

Answer:  NEXT IN “LION“

(Ooh!  That’s a stinky pun!  But a fun stinky pun.  Who doesn’t love “The Lion King”?  First the great Disney movie, then the fantastic Broadway Musical, which is still going on today.  Choreographed by the incomparable Garth Fagan!

Four well known clue words today.  But it looks like all of the jumbles are coming up as new.  None of them were too tough though.  The answer letter layout was a tidy ten letter jumble.  Adequately cryptic.  The NX in the answer letter layout, and the quotation marks in the final answer slots made for a quick solve. 

The cartoon was great.  Straight out of the Disney film, with the Chekundu Cliffs – Pride Rock, the hippos in the watering hole, and the giraffes off in the distance, and some classic acacia trees, with some birdies flying over them.  This cartoon is the real deal.  Loads of fun!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
