Visual Description:  Bono . . . stealing purses?

LAWOL  =  ALLOW,  LAHEV  =  HALVE,  YUKRET  =  TURKEY,  FARYDT  =  DRAFTY   —   Giving us:  AOHETRKDAT

Clue/Question:  For the purse-snatcher, getting caught was – – –

Answer:  HARD TO TAKE

(I think this guy is becoming Jeff’s standard bad guy.  We saw him just recently in the one where he was pulled over for speeding, or something.  He looks a little like Bono to me, with the wrap-around sunglasses.  Hey!  Guess what?  We actually have another new clue word today, in “halve”.  The world famous clue word database, of ralis95, does have halved, but not “halve”.  But, very soon . . . it will.  All of today’s jumbles are coming up as new too.  And, “allow” is one of those words that spells out in alphabetical order.  I thought that the answer letter layout was tremendously cryptic.  Not a simple solve, by any means.  Cool cartoon.  Is that subway tracks?  Be well and do good, friends.)   —   YUR
