LOCONDNEUNI = ON CLOUD NINE

Good morning everyone and happy Monday!  CONGA was the only word that had me baffled this morning.  I circled back to it after solving the other words and it came into view after staring at it for a few extra seconds.  With all of the clue words solved, I was at the cartoon in a flash.  Reading the dialogue and sentence, I wasn’t sure what the answer was going to be but it would most likely have something to do with CLOUDS since it was on the little girls pictures as well as on the television.  Sure enough it was in the clue letters and after crossing it out, the rest of the solution came instantly into view.  The letter layout was great with just the right amount of Jumble goodness to keep the answer well hidden.  Looking at the man’s newspaper, I thought Jeff was giving us a “Jumble within a Jumble”.  Upon enlarging the picture, there were no clue words to be had but the detail was exceptional and fun to look at.  I may be mistaken but it appears as though the Jumble cartoon in the paper was the exact same Jumble we were doing!  I’m sure there’s meaning to the 26 degrees on the television set, but I wasn’t able to figure it out.  If anyone has a guess, be sure to let us know in the comments section.  Have a wonderful Monday and I’ll see you tomorrow!  😀
