FARET = AFTER

LOBYDL = BOLDLY

SEEMSA = SESAME

CARTOON ANSWER:

BLAFERBODSSE = SELF ABSORBED

Good morning everyone and HAPPY FRIDAY (TGIF)!  What a stumper of a puzzle did I wake up to?!  I had a great degree of difficulty with this one and here is my blogversation:  I was tripped up on BYLAW, BOLDLY and SESAME.  Brilliant letter jumbling by David L. Hoyt!  After I FINALLY figured out the clue words, the cartoon led me to believe it would equate to a SpongeBob SquarePants reference.  Jeff Knurek gave NOTHING away in the cartoon and I couldn’t have been more pleased. After doing some jumbling of the letters on my trusty notepad, I found SELF.  ABSORBED came shortly thereafter for a terrific end to a relatively easy week of puzzles.  Here’s hoping the Saturday and Sunday puzzles are just as challenging as I dislike “breezing” my way though them.

I recently watched a YouTube video by David and Jeff and noticed that there was a coffee mug in them that is the same one as in the Jumble cartoons.  I sent both of them a tweet and discovered that you can actually BUY one.  I purchased one this evening and encourage everyone to consider doing so as well. Show your JUMBLE PRIDE and support the puzzle we ❤️.  Here’s the link if you’re interested:  http://www.cafepress.com/ilovejumble

Have a great weekend and let me know if you have any big plans in the comments section (or if you ordered a mug like I did)!
