Answer:  NOTHING TO IT

(Gotta love the American idioms!  They make for great puns.  All of today’s clue words are old favorites, but three of the jumbles came up as new.  We’ve seen “tisnis” in the past.  The answer letter layout was another expert jumble!  Nothing given away.  It looks like Jeff has inserted himself into a Family Circus cartoon.  He’s playing the part of Bil, the dad.  Thel is in the kitchen.  Jeffy is asking the question, and  Barfy is asleep at the foot of the bark-a-lounger!  Lots of fun.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
