CARTOON ANSWER:

COAYUYBONUTE = YOU BET YOU CAN

Good morning everyone and happy Thursday!  I managed to breeze through the clue words this morning but had to take a little time with the cartoon puzzle.  There were so many three letter possibilities that I had to list them all out on my notepad.  I was sure that YOU was in the solution so that was the word I started with.  Slowly but surely I pecked away at each one until all the words fit to complete the silly pun.  Jeff gave us another great cartoon featuring David in his Cubs jersey and it looks like everyone is having a great time.  I’m not sure why David doesn’t have as many chips as the other folks — either he’s not doing so hot or they’re all high value ones and he’s a true card shark!  Take care and I’ll see you tomorrow.  ♠️♣️♥️♦️
