Clue/Question:  The Australian marsupial family was all together and enjoying some – – –

Answer:  “KOALA–TY“ TIME

(I like it, but it kinda feels like a re-run to me!   Clearly, not a recent re-run, but from a number of years ago.  I’ve been solving, and posting, these Jumbles for a long, long time now.  So, maybe it’s just my imagination?

We’ve seen all of these clue words before.  But it’s looking like all of today’s jumbles are new.  At least to me.  But no stumpers, for me.  The answer letter layout was an elegant eleven letter jumble.  I thought it was nicely cryptic.  But, because of the great cartoon, and the great clue/question – that danced around the word “koala” – the final answer was pretty darn obvious, to me.

Really cute cartoon of the koala bear family.  Even if their name is a misnomer.  They must be dining on a feast of eucalyptus leaves, as that is pretty much all they ever eat.  Familiar, yet fun, Jumble.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —  YUR

Cryptoquote Solved – 09/14/22

“Life is always going to be stranger than fiction, because fiction has to be convincing, and life doesn’t.”   —   Neil Gaiman

(Yeah, but life is SO much more satisfying when it IS convincing.  That’s why it’s SO worth asking the hard questions, and not just taking everything at – what they TRY TO convince us is – at face value.  Because let’s face it folks, some lies are just so much more palatable than the truth.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
