🏆 WEDGE You Look at That 🏆
Some handoffs happen on the field. In today’s cartoon, we see it happen at home. The retired quarterback’s done chasing touchdowns and knows the right time has come to make sure the next play is in good hands. He stands in the pocket one last time, not to score, but to share. With perfect form he spirals the football across the living room, finding the grip of the one who’ll write the next chapter. What once marked who he was now belongs to who he raised.

💎 Jumble Jeff’s Jems 💎
The quarterback’s jersey shows number 12. On the football stand it reads H49-V45 1985. I looked everywhere and couldn’t find any NFL game with a HOME score of 49 and a VISITORS score of 45. Also visible on the table is a trophy, and underneath lays another football.
🧠 Final Solve 🧠
Once I noticed the motion lines showing the ball being snapped, it all clicked. The visual was the giveaway. I thought it might be “toss something” or “pass something,” but the double S’s and the P put everything in motion. From there, the remainder rolled off the tongue like a perfect spiral: PASS IT DOWN.
