🦙 UPHILL ASSIST
Today’s cartoon takes us high into the Andes where the air is thin, the mountains tower overhead, and the city sits far below in the distance. We encounter a traveler who has trekked quite a ways and is relieved to have had some help getting her oversized pack the rest of the way up the trail. Standing beside her is the animal that carried the load along the way. She offers her thanks, and the reply makes it clear that helping out is simply part of the routine. Up here, lending a hoof is never a big deal.

➤ THE TREKKER
She is wearing a poncho-style outer layer with decorative trim along the edges and a matching knit hat. Her hair appears pulled back into a ponytail. Fur-trimmed boots reach just below the knees. In her left hand she holds a large pack that stands nearly half her height.
➤ THE PACK CARRIER
The llama stands beside her with a thick coat and two front teeth visible.
➤ THE HIGH COUNTRY
Behind them the mountains rise sharply toward the clouds. Far below, a small city can be seen.
🧠 FINAL SOLVE
The final answer was an 11-letter anagram that solved into a 2 + “9” layout. With the quotation marks and today being Friday the 13th, it looked like it might take a while, but it actually came together pretty quickly. LLAMA was a given for the pack animal, and NO along with PROB were easy pulls from the remaining letters. If today’s puzzle slowed you down, our biggest nudge came from the wording of the cartoon sentence mentioning the South American pack animal. And the giant talking LLAMA was a big help too!
