CARTOON ANSWER:

SNDIBEEHLURT = UNDER HIS BELT

Good morning everyone and happy Friday!  It’s Veterans Day so let us honor the brave citizens who have served, or are serving, in a branch of the U.S. military.  I was able to solve the cartoon right off the bat so all I had to do was solve the clue words. I managed to get the first three but wound up stuck on UPROOT.  My problem was that I was trying to make a word that had OUT.  After trying every possible combination, I noticed UP together and then it hit me like a ton of bricks.  Have a wonderful day my friends and let me know if you have any plans for the weekend.  Be well and THANK YOU to all of our Veterans!!!  🇺🇸
