OLTAT = TOTAL
SERHF = FRESH
FLYSME = MYSELF
LAVEBI = VIABLE
CARTOON ANSWER:
TOTFESMSIBE = BEST OF TIMES
Good morning and TGIF my friends! I didn’t get MYSELF or VIABLE the first time around this morning. MYSELF floated into my head sometime between starting my coffee and putting the bacon on. VIABLE was a cinch the second time around and I couldn’t believe that I didn’t get it right away. The cartoon was well drawn and after reading the dialogue, I deduced that TIME was in the answer. After crossing out those letters, the rest was no trouble at all. Have a wonderful Friday and let me know if you have any big plans. Take care and I’ll see you tomorrow! 😀

Couldnt get MYSELF. Puzzle was not difficult. Got OF and then BEST. Rest was easy.
Overall an easy one, Stew. Have a great day! 😁
I had the puzzle answer before the words, again. Myself and viable each gave me pause, too!
Great job, John! 👍🏻
Once I figured out viable, got the puzzle right away.
