MAITD  =  ADMIT,  TASNL  =  SLANT,  TNTDEA  =  ATTEND,  KBERMA  =  EMBARK   —   Giving us:  AMTSLNAENEBR

Clue/Question:  He was one of the most-liked pool players due to his good . . .

Answer:  TABLE MANNERS

(Very nice answer letter layout.  No giveaways.  No gimmes with any of the clue words.  For me “slant” was the easiest, then “embark”.  Both “admit” and “attend” took some thought.  Maybe, because they both start with “A”, or maybe just because the were well scrambled.  Good cartoon, with the only clue being the two guys’ cordiality.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
