CARTOON ANSWER:

AFTER REALIZING THAT THEY’D RECEIVED ONLY BULLS, THE NEW DAIRY FARM WAS AN —

AREDREULDFUI = “UDDER” FAILURE

Good Tuesday morning everyone!  UNFOLD and FUMING were the only two words that gave me a hint of trouble this morning.  With all of the clue words solved it was on to the cartoon.  The letter layout left the solution very cryptic and with the quotes thrown in there, I didn’t even attempt to solve it blind.  Reading the dialogue and sentence, my mind was thinking the solution would have something to do with milk.  The word “fluid” grabbed my eye as it was practically spelled out in the letters.  Did David do this on purpose to throw us off?  It worked on me if he did and I tried to make it work but gave up after a few minutes.  I did some self jumbling of the letters and found UDDER by chance leaving FAILURE to be quickly solved for the finish.  Overall a great puzzle and wonderful cartoon.  The bull on the farmer’s hat was a nice detail by Jeff.  Enjoy the day and I’ll see you tomorrow!  🙂
