(Now THAT is a fun pun, and a great Jumble!  The clue words were all tried and true, but each jumbling appears to be new.  The answer letter layout was not obvious, even if the answer was . . . fairly.  But, the best part is the cartoon.  The hillbilly Cyclops, sitting in his lawn-chair, amongst his overgrown lawn, drinking beers, and throwing the empties on the ground.  And, a broken down chariot on his lawn.  Not quite sure what that is stacked to his right rear.  Maybe sections of columns?  And Medusa, with her snake hair.  Is it only mortals who will turn to stone, when they gaze upon her?  And of course, the Centaur.  Does his neighborhood association make him pick up after himself?  Lots of fun with today’s cartoon.  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
