CARTOON ANSWER:

AFTER ESCAPING HIS “UNDERWATER CELL,” HOUDINI COULDN’T —

MINSNOFLIHACET = CONTAIN HIMSELF

Good Friday morning everyone!  No trouble with the clue words today as they all came to me instantly.  I didn’t attempt to solve the cartoon without the clue letters this morning because I was running short on time.  Mr. Hoyt did a splendid job of hiding the answer within the clue letter layout for the second day in a row and it was quite challenging.  On my first attempt, I found FATHOMS and I thought I was on to something.  That left me with INCLINE but it didn’t make sense even though it was two 7-letter words.  I re-jumbled all the letters and started again.  This time I found HIM which led me to HIMSELF and CONTAIN was right there for the finish.  Have a great day my friends and I’ll see you tomorrow!  😀👍🏻
