Clue/Question:  When the stand-up comedian ran out of new ideas, he was – – –

Answer:  AT HIS WIT‘S END

(A very intelligent pun.  I think it’s hard to call this one stinky.  I feel bad for the guy.  I guess it’s the comedians’ version of writers’ block.  Not funny at all.

No new clue words today.  Although, all of the jumbles appear to be new.  I had some trouble getting “accuse”, because the jumble – “saucce” – looks so much like the word sauce.  The answer letter layout was a great 12-letter jumble, that gave away absolutely nothing.  I think the length of the answer spaces is what helped me get the answer so quickly.

Fine comedy club scenario.  It looks like he’s trying to rehearse in front of another comedian.  But, unfortunately, he’s run dry.  Does he look familiar to any of you?  I was kinda thinking Jim Carrey, but he’s more of a comedic actor, than a stand-up.  I think he’s brilliant, though my wife can’t stand his hyper-theatrics.  But, looking at all the photos of him in Google Images, I kind of worry about him.  I see a kind of sadness in them, even the ones where he’s smiling.  Maybe it’s one of those tears of a clown kind of things.  I hope he’s in a good place.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
