Clue/Question: The postage stamps featuring the Mt. Rushmore carvings sold for – – –
Cherub (Photo credit: Wikipedia)
Answer: FACE VALUE
(I like this pun! All the clue words came to me instantly. None of them are new, and only two of the jumbles were new. But, I liked the answer letter layout. The cartoon and its dialog did a great job, in conjunction with the the Clue/Question. We used to have a gentleman who would take the clue words and string them together in a clever sentence. Whatever happened to him? Maybe today he would say: AVOID CHAOS, or you’ll face your FINALE . . . and end up a CHERUB. A cherub is a baby angel, right? If you’re lucky enough to make it into heaven you become an angel, right? Do you start out as a cherub, or are they from babies that died? I guess I never paid that much attention to that kind of stuff. Anyone out there know??? Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR
