In England, artist Francis Barraud (1856-1924) painted his brother’s dog Nipper listening to the horn of an early phonograph during the winter of 1898. Victor Talking Machine Company began using the symbol in 1900, and Nipper joined the RCA family in 1929. (Photo credit: Wikipedia)

Answer:  PHONOGRAPHS

(Stinky pun.  All the jumbles appear to be new, and we seem to have a new word for the ralis95 clue word database, in “hutch”.  Yeah.  I was a little surprised too.  Interesting answer letter layout.  Three sets of double letters.  I don’t think it gave anything away.  Fun cartoon.  Not sure who the old-timers might be, but that looks like it might be Nipper, the RCA Victor dog.  “His master’s voice”?  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
