CARTOON ANSWER:

BUJELLAIMR = “JUMBLE-LIAR”

Good morning everyone and TGIF!  It was 4 degrees outside when I woke up this morning — but even that wasn’t enough to keep me from running outside (barefoot) to get my newspaper so I could do the Jumble.  The clue words were excellent today and quite unique.  I sprinted through them all except CLAMOR which made me look at it twice before I got it.  With all of them solved it was on to the cartoon.  Jeff really knocked it out of the park with this one!  I really enjoyed the chef looking at the Jumble in the newspaper and the dialogue between all of them.  I think there’s a name on the chefs jacket, and it appears to start with a J but it’s too small to make out.  Looking at my letters, I decided to start with odd letter which was J as well.  I saw JUMBLE immediately and LIAR was quick to find for a super funny pun that put a big smile on my face.  I forgot to mention that I’ve already finished Saturday’s puzzle and it’s a bit of a head scratcher.  Have an excellent day and I’ll see you tomorrow!  😀
