RALAV = LARVA
IBCAS = BASIC
DINDEH = HIDDEN
SKNIRH = SHRINK
CARTOON ANSWER:
ARABSIHDESHN = HIS “BEAR” HANDS
Happy Wednesday morning my friends! LARVA and HIDDEN were the two words that made me pause for thought this morning but were no real trouble at all. With all the clue words solved it was time to attempt the cartoon. Yogi Bear was always one of my favorite cartoons and Ranger Smith was such a unique character. He was the yin to Yogis’ yang. I must admit, I was able to get the answer before starting though. Perhaps I’m smarter than the av-er-age bear? You probably saw that coming so I’ll end it here. Have a great day and do good!

Easy one today. Probably about 1-1/2 minutes to solve.
I agree Stew. The cartoon was so well drawn, I would have liked the puzzle to have been harder so I could look at it longer. 😀
I agree. I knew the word ”bare’ was gonna be in it.
ok. guess I got it wrong —-I did get the crossword and the su-do-ku right tho.
I had to think about larva also. The rest was smooth.
“BEAR-Y” nice Alfred! 😋😋😋
