CARTOON ANSWER:
TBUTRPEA = BATTER UP
Good morning everyone! I had no trouble with the clue words this morning and I guessed the cartoon answer before even starting the puzzle. Have a great Tuesday and I’ll see you tomorrow.

Ditto Mike. Have a good day.
Thank you Gene. You as well! 😀
thank you
When the letters were unscrambled there was not a letter U circle . There was letter I. I could tell what the answer was without unscrambling the letters.
It should read batter Ip instead of Batter Up.
Hi Cynthia. The U was in the second clue word of BURST. In that word the B and U are circled. Have a great evening. 😀
Yeah, today’s puzzle was a real softball!
It sure was, John! 😉
So easy 1-1/2 minutes.
