CARTOON ANSWER:
STOAUESIMQUAE = QUIET AS A MOUSE
Good morning everyone and happy Monday. I awoke to a sound that I haven’t heard in over a month– RAIN! Our region has been in an extreme drought and I can’t remember the last time it rained. The clue words this morning were very unique and I don’t recall seeing them in prior puzzles. Once I solved EQUATE and found the Q, the cartoon answer was no problem at all. Have a great day and I’ll see you tomorrow! 😀
