CARTOON ANSWER:

THE LEMONADE SELLER WANTED HER BUSINESS TO – – –

NAUSDOTT = STAND OUT

Good morning Jumble friends and happy Tuesday! All of the clue words were rather easy with DEVOUR giving me a slight pause just to make sure that I spelled it correctly. KETTLE deserves an honorable mention because it was jumbled so well. The K stood out like a sore thumb making the answer immediately visible.

Moving along to the cartoon, I was obsessed with trying to blind solve it without the aid of the clue letters, dialogue or sentence. The imagery suggested that it would have something to do with a lemonade stand or the young girl’s over the top props. Seeing the word lemonade in three different locations throughout the panel led me to believe that STAND would be the 5-letter word. With 3-letters remaining, OUT instantly came to mind making the solve no problem at all!

Looking at the elaborate decorations, this young girl sure has a bright future in advertising and marketing! The lemon hat that she is wearing was an unexpected touch showing that Jeff is indeed a genius at his craft. As creative as it was, the vintage down arrow has to be my pick for the best decoration. If you close your eyes, you can imagine the yellow tinge of the bulbs illuminating her stand in the early evening similar to a vendor at a carnival. The small orb up in the sky was so small in my newspaper that I originally thought it was the sun. It’s in fact a lemon blimp with her logo on the side. We all know that the consumer pays the price for marketing campaigns so that’s probably the reason Jeff left the price off of her stand. If you have to ask how much a glass costs than you probably can’t afford it!

If you only receive the answers via email, you probably haven’t heard the news that I posted on the front page of the website. David L. Hoyt has agreed to do an interview with JumbleAnswer.com and I need your help with coming up with a set of questions to ask. If there’s something you’ve always wanted to know about the Jumble but thought you’d never have the chance to ask, well now’s your opportunity to do so! Be sure to visit the website and leave a question in the comments section and I’ll make sure it gets forwarded to him. I’ll post the video as soon as it’s available and will notify you when it’s up.

Have a terrific Tuesday and I’ll see you tomorrow!
