  1. Good Morning, Everyone… 🎣 A FISH TALE! 🎣

    🎶Barney Google…with the goo-goo-googely eyes…🎶 -Written by Billy Jones & Ernst Hare 1923 https://tinyurl.com/225amh2r

    🎣 While Snuffy’s feeling GIDDY, Weezy sees right through his tale,
    The man’s so far from MODEST, a grain of salt prevails…
    No news FLASH he tells stories…he was SLEEPY when he left,
    And when it comes to honesty…Snuffy can be bereft
    So Weezy gives a loud hmpf…and once again we see…
    Her listen while she’s thinking…it all just SMELLED FISHY! 🎣

    Today’s Guest Jumbler, John Rose, https://tinyurl.com/5bwdtkyf holds the distinction of being the cartoonist for the third-longest running and uninterrupted comic series of all time…And that’s no FISH tale! “Barney Google and Snuffy Smith” https://tinyurl.com/49txf89p has entertained readers for over 100 years, and Mr Rose has kept its tradition AFLOAT…And as would be expected, after all these years, there’s a BOATload of STORIES about the comic strip and Mr Rose, so I had to go FISHING to try and CATCH the best of them…But trust me, whatever I’ve linked here is just an iota of the storyLINE…There’s so many great articles out there…Here’s what Wikipedia has to say… https://tinyurl.com/3v98n9z2

    OK…Our cartoon…As Snuffy’s telling what seems to be another WHALE of a tale…we can see that as far as his wife, Loweezy’s concerned, it just SMELLED FISHY https://tinyurl.com/spmt2rda …And that REELS it all in…

    So…There you have it Folks…Done. Have a good one. Be well, be kind, and stay safe out there.…Special thanks to Mr Rose…And while it’s a well-known fact that the late, great Charles Schulz got his nickname, “Sparky” from Barney’s horse “Sparkplug”, some stories say that ‘Barney Google” inspired the word googol (as in the number) which later inspired the name for the company Google….True? IDK. I guess we can always Google it…🎣🙋🏻‍♀️

  2. 🤷🏻‍♀️They thought something SMELLED FISHY when the ad execs seemed to be way too GIDDY over the initial showing of the MODEST-budgeted, SLEEPY version of the FLASH…🤷🏻‍♀️

    🤷🏻‍♂️They saw a FLASH of color, though MODEST that it were,
    No reason to get GIDDY, just because it did occur…
    So early and still SLEEPY…it was looking washy, wishy…
    A flashlight by the window? This whole thing..It just SMELLED FISHY! 🤷🏻‍♂️

  3. Time for some tacos on this taco Tuesday ! All the anagrams made me GIDDY ! And I was wide awake and not SLEEPY ! I’m just being MODEST ! Cause the jumble was the greater of the HALFS ! As soon as I read Catch , I knew that something was FISHY ! So after I took those letters out , they SMELLED , just like his story ! Great follow up from yesterdays guest jumble to todays ! Everyone toast a taco to the guest jumble for today !

      • But if there was a sports team known as the Better Half team, its name would be Better Halfs, not Better Halves, just as the hockey team is not the Toronto Maple Leaves but the Toronto Maple Leafs. But this is a rare use of the s plural and it seems to only occur in sports team names.

  4. Yep, easiest Jumble ever…though I was in a hurry, still kinda sleepy…so no blind solve. I think I have a brain lock with Guest Jumbles. Anyway, quickly solved the anagrams and put it all together. Have a great Taco Tuesday. Terry

  5. Good morning. The words were a snap it just took a little longer to sniff out the cartoon answer. Enjoyed your song video and the information on the cartoonist Angela. Until tomorrow take care.

    • Good Morning, Paul. Thank you. Sniff out, indeed! 👏🏻👏🏻 Take care…🎣🙋🏻‍♀️

  6. Anagrams were a quick solve as was the second cartoon answer, fishy, but I got stuck on ‘seemed’ as the first word and couldn’t come up with smelled, despite having the letters.

  7. Nice and easy puzzle again this morning. How amazing that this cartoon has been around over one hundred years. Have a good day all ! Betty

    • Right? And still entertaining…Wishing you a good day too, Betty 🎣🙋🏻‍♀️

  8. But if it really SMELLED FISHY, it may also be FLESHED SLIMY, and in that case I would not want to touch it or even get near it. In fact I would want to SHIELD MYSELF from this fish.

  9. My initial thought for the answer was “sounded fishy” but after doing the clue words, nope, I was fishing up the wrong creek.
