Good Thursday morning everyone!  STUDIO gave me some trouble this morning but I figured it out with a little self jumbling of the letters.  With all of the clue words solved it was on to the cartoon.  My first thought was that there’s quite a few vowels in the solution.  I was unable to solve it by reading the sentence and dialogue so I started a list of possible words.  IS, IN ,TO, ON, and IF all made the list.  As soon as I removed IS from the clue letters, FOOT jumped out at me and the solution came right away.  The puzzle was more difficult than I expected and was a wonderful challenge.  Enjoy the day, and I’ll see you tomorrow!  🙂
