Answer:  “NORSE“ CODE

(Moans and groans all around on this stinky pun!  No new clue words today, but all of the jumbles came up as new for me.  It’s a good thing I didn’t write down “dunge” instead of “nudge”, because I would have gotten the necessary letters to solve the Jumble, but I would have looked like a big dope!  “ugend” is a good jumble!  The answer letter layout was nicely cryptic, but I can sniff out a stinky pun a mile away.  Loved the cartoon.  I always had a fascination with Viking lore.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
