CARTOON ANSWER:

LNEGMUALEFERT = FULL AGREEMENT

Happy Thursday everybody!  I thought I put the wrong paper in the recycling this morning when I saw what appeared to be the same cartoon.  Looking closer, I noticed the empty plates and came to realize that this would be day 2 at Cafe Rosa.  The clue words gave me so much trouble compared to yesterday’s relatively easy game.  GAMUT and FERRET were the show stoppers so kudos to David!  I don’t recall seeing these words used before and they were so well jumbled that it took me at least 5 minutes each to decipher.  Perhaps you had better luck than I did, but I’ll be happy to hear if I wasn’t the only one befuddled.  As for the cartoon answer, FULL came to me straight away and AGREEMENT took a moment but didn’t cause me as much stress as GAMUT did.  Overall an excellent puzzle that put my brain in full gear and truly tested my jumbling skills.  There weren’t any easter eggs in this puzzle that I could find but it did leave us guessing which side picked up the tab.  The cameriere is looking in the direction of Team Hoyt so one can only assume.  Have a fantastic day my friends.  😀
