(Some very impressive clue word jumbling!  I really liked the jumbling of “actual”, “fickle” and “barren”.  And, also the new clue word, “prance” was jumbled well.  ralis95 will have to update his clue word database once again!  The answer letter layout was superbly cryptic!  If you didn’t pick up the gag from the cartoon you would have had a very difficult time figuring it out from the answer letter layout.  Great job, Mr. Hoyt!  Jeff Knurek even through in a little misdirection, with the king’s comment about his dad, King Charles.  Before reading the clue/question I was leaning towards Charlie The Tuna, format and letters notwithstanding.  Be well and do good, friends.  Don’t melt, or get dehydrated!)   —   YUR
