Visual Description:  Pompous pioneer profusely proclaiming his prodigiousness.

RLTBU  =  BLURT,  IHSTX  =  SIXTH,  BOLGEB  =  GOBBLE,  AEMMHY  =  MAYHEM   —   Giving us:  BUTIGOHM

Clue/Question:  What the Amazon explorer and the Amazon River had in common.

Answer:  A BIG MOUTH

(Very good!  I really liked 3 out of the 4 clue words.  I’m betting that more people had more trouble getting “blurt”, “sixth” and “mayhem” than “gobble”.  Actually, only “sixth” gave me trouble, but I really liked “mayhem” and “blurt” too.  Great scrambling all around, and nothing obvious in the answer letters.  Cute cartoon and a good concept.  Nice way to end the week, guys.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

PS.  I like the character “Mayhem” in the Allstate commercials.  He’s played by an actor named Dean Winters, who might be best known – previously, at least – by his role of Ryan O’Reily, on the HBO prison drama: Oz.  I generally like prison movies, but I just couldn’t watch that show.  Too many disturbing scenes, I guess.   —   YUR
