Clue/Question:  When it came to making good pillows, she – – –

Answer:  KNEW HER STUFF

(I hope she knows enough stuff . . . to stay out of politics!  I realize that some people have *special needs*, but for the majority of us a pillow . . . is a pillow!  Older ones need replacing after a while, but you don’t need to go crazy buying the latest fancy – and expensive – ones.  Clever marketing is steadily making us a country of simpletons!  But this Jumble does remind me, I need to buy a new mattress!  Mine is killing both of us.

All very familiar Jumble clue words.  Two of the jumbles appear to be new, while we’ve definitely seen both “tifha” and “uncess” in previous Jumbles.  From the ralis95 clue word database I’m seeing that we should probably NOT fondly fondle the fondue!  That stuff gets HOT, and you can burn your little fingers.  The answer letter layout was another terrific twelve letter jumble.  Fluffily cryptic!  But the cartoon and the clue/question made for a quick solve.

Fun cartoon!  I like the name of the shop:  Leave The Rest To Us.  Very clever!  Be well and do good, friends.)   —    YUR
