CARTOON ANSWER:

WHEN THE BEER MAKERS ARGUED OVER WHO MADE BETTER BEER, THE RESULT WAS A —

HAWARBHE = “BREW-HAHA”

Good morning and happy Thursday everyone!  REBUKE was the difficult word for me to solve today.  I had one of those mornings where I was drawing a blank and nothing seemed to work.  I put the puzzle down and came back a few minutes later and that’s when it came into view.  With all the clue words solved, it was on to the cartoon.  I saw BREW right away leaving HAHA to finish the puzzle and completing the hilarious pun!  Jeff packed so much detail into this illustration including the man wearing the Captain America shield on his shirt.  Did you notice the tiny “F” on the tap handle?  Perhaps Fosters is Jeff’s brew of choice.  They’ve updated the snow forecast to be 16-20″ so our state is pretty much shut down.  All schools were closed last night in anticipation of the storm and my wife stayed home today.  Enjoy the rest of your day and I hope it’s sunny and warm in your neck of the woods!
