CARTOON ANSWER:
UTPURMOEFHRODNG = FROM THE GROUND UP
Good morning everyone and happy Sunday! I didn’t have any difficulty with the clue words this morning. They all came to me quickly and I was on to the cartoon. As soon as I saw the words “seed money” in the dialogue, I was able to look at the letters and solve the puzzle. Have a wonderful day and I’ll see you bright and early tomorrow morning. 🙂

I agree with your assessment of today’s jumble. I was annoyed at how easy the answer was. It took all of five seconds to come up with the solution. It’s funny, you get mad when it’s too hard or too easy. There isn’t a happy medium. Thank you for your column.
Hi Paul! There really isn’t much to talk about when it’s an easy puzzle. I’m glad you like my write-up!
How can I get the Sunday puzzle before the answer? We get the puzzle all the other days except Sunday.
Hi Ray. The Sunday puzzle isn’t published online. I had to get a subscription to my local newspaper in order to get it.
