Good morning everyone and happy Wednesday. The week is flying by and the new Star Wars movie premieres tomorrow night and I couldn’t be more excited!!! We have bigger fish to fry right now though, so let me reel myself in and wade into today’s Jumble puzzle solve.

The clue words were super easy today with all of them coming into view instantly. I’d venture a guess and choose SEASON as the most difficult anagram to decipher. If you had trouble with this word, it was most likely one of two things. You probably coupled the S’s together when trying to come up with a word, or you started the word with one of the 3-vowels. It happens to all of us from time to time, and I just got lucky and happened to sea the answer right away. With all of them finished, it was on to the main event — the cartoon!

Looking at just the panel, we see a well dressed man and woman fishing in a small boat. Their hat’s don’t match their attire, but by reading the cartoon sentence and dialogue, we learn that these musicians will be performing soon. There were a few fun details that you may have overlooked. On the boat motor, Jeff sneakily added the word “Jumble” where the brand name is usually displayed. There is also a musical note on the woman’s hat which also added some extra flair to the piece. The best detail of all had to be the correct anchor placement for the vessel. Jeff nailed it with the anchor set from the bow, downwind and with the current!

I wasn’t able to blind solve this one, so I wrote out the clue letters. BASS immediately came to mind leaving SOON to finish this groaner of a pun. Have a wonderful Wednesday, and I’ll see you tomorrow! 🙂
