INTEREST TAKEN

Today’s cartoon drops us at the kitchen table just after a small banking miracle has taken place. One tap, one photo, and his check is deposited safe and sound. She asks her dad if he feels confident enough to try it solo next time, and his answer sounds cautious but curious. It’s the kind of reply that says he might not be sold yet, but he is definitely going to take a closer look.

➤ CHECKING IN

The daughter stands at the table holding her phone in her right hand, with the screen showing a mirrored image of the check. She has shoulder-length hair. Her dad is seated, balding with hair around the sides, wearing a collared shirt and glasses as he looks up at her. His right hand points toward the check, while his left rests on the table and his watch reads just after nine. A small dog has its paws on the table edge, also looking at the check.

🧠 FINAL SOLVE

The final answer was an anagram consisting of 11 letters that would solve into a 5 + 4 + 2 layout. Before even touching the clue words, I read the cartoon sentence and my first guess was CHECK IT OUT. Once the words were solved, CHECK was clearly there and IT showed up alongside it, but INTO was the piece that had to slide into place to close the deal. If this one slowed you down, the visual nudge of all the eyeballs on the check and Dad cautiously saying he would take a closer look at the app helped bring it home.
