Clue/Question:  When the ox-like antelope met up with his friends, he said . . . 

Answer:  WHAT’S “GNU“?

(One of my favorite, stinky puns of all time!  A true classic!  No new clue words today, however every single jumble came up as new.  Strange, because I saw every word instantly.  Some days are like that.  The answer letter layout was a fantastic jumble.  It was the combo of the leading clue/question, the great cartoon, and the quotation marks that made the answer fairly elementary.  It helped to be passably familiar with African wildlife, too.  Cute cartoon.  I liked the giraffes in the background.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
