Clue/Question: The bodybuilder wasn’t going to have any luck with the woman because he – – –
Answer: CAME ON TOO STRONG
(Strangely enough, there are still a lot of women out there who prefer the hard press. They interpret aggressiveness with confidence, amiability with weakness. When in reality the former is often masking an insecurity and the latter underlies a quiet confidence. It looks like our heroine isn’t having any of the former!
There were no new clue words . . . yesterday, but there was plenty of quality jumbling going on. Take your pick. They were all well-jumbled. The answer letter layout was a thing of beauty. I don’t think it gave anything away. The cartoon does a great job of setting up the pun. Besides lifting with his arms, the bodybuilder is also standing on one leg, while lifting weight with the other. Great jumble! Be well and do good, friends.) — YUR
