CARTOON ANSWER:

IN 1927, GOING TO SEE “THE JAZZ SINGER” IN A THEATER WAS A —

TELETERAR = “REEL” TREAT

Good morning everyone and happy Tuesday!  I thought the clue words were tough yesterday, but after seeing today’s, I’ve changed my mind.  NEGATE was the most difficult of the bunch, followed by RARITY at a close second.  After self-jumbling the letters on my trusty notepad, I was able to figure them out and moved right along to the cartoon puzzle.  I didn’t run into any roadblocks and came up with the solution REEL quick.  Jeff’s drawing was spot-on, giving us a wonderful scene of people in their finery both coming and going to a picture show in front of an ornate theater.  You can almost feel the hustle and bustle of the couple’s passing by and if you listen closely, I imagine you’d hear them discuss in hushed tones the amazing “talking picture” they just witnessed.  My favorite detail though was the poster in the background advertising Fritz Lang’s “METROPOLIS”.  It still blows my mind that Jeff can fit so much detail into such a tiny cartoon.  Enjoy the day and I’ll see you tomorrow!  😀📽
