Happy Wednesday everyone!  STOCKY was the stickler this morning and I had to stop and think about it for a minute before it finally came to me.  After reading the cartoon sentence and dialogue, I knew immediately what the final solution was and wrote out the clue letters just to make sure.  Overall a quick solve and great cartoon with a dandy letter layout.  Please pardon the brevity of the post today as I’m chaperoning a school field trip and can’t be late!  Enjoy your Wednesday and I look forward to reading all of your wonderful comments later this afternoon.  😀
