CARTOON ANSWER:

PINSAEIDETRM = MEAN SPIRITED

Good Monday morning my friends!  I hope you’re ready for another week of Jumble goodness, so let’s get started.  First off, the word choices were excellent this morning and I don’t recall seeing any of them recently.  The only word that I had trouble with this morning was SHAME.  After that I breezed through the rest of the clues and was on to the cartoon.  The first two things that I noticed about it was that it had a lot of letters in the answer and there was a lot of dialogue.  After reading the cartoon, I decided to start on the 4 letter word.  I had ANTI, DISA, and PAST but couldn’t come up with the second word.  The letters for GHOST weren’t there either but SPIRIT was.  I added the ED suffix and saw MEAN right away in my remaining letters.  Overall another great puzzle and a wonderful way to start the morning.  I wonder if tomorrow’s puzzle will have a voting or Presidential theme?  Until then have a great Monday and I’ll see you tomorrow?  😊
