Visual Description:  A very unhappy couple at a counseling session.

TYPIE  =  PIETY,  ICCUB  =  CUBIC,  SLOMBY  =  SYMBOL,  TOEGEA  =  GOATEE   —   Giving us:  ITCBMBLOAE

Clue/Question:  What the couple got when they weren’t compatible.

Answer:  COMBATIBLE

(Purists will argue that the answer is not an actual word, but the answer is always where the fun comes in.  Word PLAY is the name of the game, folks.  “Symbol” gave me a little trouble.  Great scrambling of the answer letters.  All around, a very good jumble puzzle.  The marriage counselor looks a little like Dr. Phil, don’t you think?)   — YUR

PS.  Why the dog?  It’s what was provided to me.  It is a nice dog! — YUR
