CARTOON ANSWER:

THE OWNER OF THE FAILED LAUNDROMAT WAS —

ADWPHSUE = WASHED UP

Good Monday morning my friends, and welcome back to another week of Jumble fun!  The puzzle sure was a breeze this morning as all of the clue words were solved at first glance and I was at the cartoon in seconds.  The setting for this one brings us to a small storefront where local businessman “Matt” (clever pun, Jeff) is learning that his dream of operating a laundromat just went down the drain.  With a giant “out of business” banner in the window and a chained up front door, the look of desperation on his face sure is heartbreaking.  You might even say he looks like he’s been put through the wringer!  The letter layout for the final solution was loads of fun but I already had the answer just by reading the cartoon.  I hope this puzzle didn’t turn you into a basket case or leave you pressed for time.  I’ll see you tomorrow!  😊
