Clue/Question:  Audiences in Las Vegas attend Mac King’s show to watch him – – –

Answer: WORK HIS MAGIC

(Well, they’re certainly not there to hear him sing . . . or for his dashing? good looks!  I’ve never caught his act.  But, I hear he is an excellent magician.  One of Jeff’s favorites.  And, I guess he’s well-regarded by other magicians, based on who’s in the audience.  Now, those guys I know!

All four of today’s clue words are on the world famous ralis95 clue word database.  However, all four jumbles are coming up as new for me.  The clue words came to me quickly though.  The answer letter layout was a tricky twelve letter jumble.  Craftily cryptic.  Nothing obvious about it, but the final answer came to me . . . just like magic!

Wonderful Vegas floor show cartoon.  Great likeness of Mr. Mac King and his rabbit/rat/guinea pig.  And a marvelous Penn and Teller in the audience.  Those two guys always amuse me.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR

Clue/Question:  She started walking regularly to lose weight and was making – – –

Answer:  GREAT STRIDES

(You go, girl!  “Go, you chicken fat, go!”  My Gym teacher, in early elementary school, was fond of using this song to get us going!  I can’t quite remember her name, and I don’t exactly remember the routine.  But, I definitely remember her singing the song!  Corny AF, as the kids would say, but very memorable.

All Jumble Clue Word Database words today.  Been a while since Hoyt sprang a new one on us.  Three of the jumbles appear to be new, but we’ve definitely seen “fonset” before.  I stumbled a little in getting “shirt”!  The answer letter layout was a tremendous twelve letter jumble.  But, for some reason I saw the answer even before reading the clue/question, or the cartoon’s dialog.

Fine cartoon of two women walking around their town park.  Jeff likes using this clock tower in his sub-urban park settings.  It’s slowly becoming the terrestrial version of the classic sinking sailboat!  But, I can’t see it becoming quite as iconic.  Can you?  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
