Answer: PRIVATE PROPERTY
(Ehhh! I think this probably could have been worded better, but we’ll give the boys a one day pass on this one. All of the clue words were old reliables, but all of the jumbles came up as new for me. I especially liked the ones for “pulsar” and “rather”, but they were all pretty good. The answer letter layout would have been better had a few of the words been switched around. As it is now, you can pretty much see an abbreviation for private just a little left of center. Switching “pulpit” with “invest” would have done the trick. Fine military-esque cartoon. I’m sure this put a smile on Mort Walker’s face. Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR
