Clue/Question:  Mount Everest tops out at 29,029 feet, making it hard for other mountains to – – –

Answer:  MEASURE UP

(Hmmm!  A very familiar stinky pun.  Even the cartoon looks similar to one we’ve had before.  We’re going to have to put Angela on this case!  She will get tot he bottom of it.

Surprise, surprise!  We have a new clue word today, in “smugly”!  Our good friend, ralis95, will have to update his world famous clue word database.  And, “gmyusl” happens to be the only new jumble today.  The answer letter layout was another fine nine letter jumble.  UP did kind of stand out.  Maybe Hoyt should’ve switched the last two jumbles/words.

Great talking mountain cartoon!  I think, once upon a time, I might’ve wanted to climb Everest.  But, that urge is long gone.  The Flat Iron mountains, in Colorado, are more my speed.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
