Clue/Question:  The designers of the single-person blimps were experiencing . . .

Answer:  ONE–UPMANSHIP

(Can you believe that – for whatever reason – I initially wrote ONE-MANUPSHIP?  Talk about your brain farts!  As I was about to post this, I looked at what I wrote and said:  What the heck is that?  Sometimes my brain knows what it wants to write, but my hands have other ideas!  There were no new clue words today, but two of the jumbles appear to be new.  We’ve definitely seen “ogame” and “curpes” before.  The answer letter layout was a splendid jumble.  It gave nothing away.  The cartoon is fun, but my version today is too small to make out any details.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
