CARTOON ANSWER:

HANDS-ON JOB
WELCOME BACK
PUZZLE PLAYERS!

🪛 PARTS AND LABOR

Today’s cartoon takes us inside a mannequin workshop where everything is put together one piece at a time. One worker is holding an arm while the other is focused on attaching a hand with a screwdriver. Racks of arms hang in the background and torsos wait nearby, giving the whole place an assembly line feel. One of them points out that it beats sitting at a desk all day, and the other agrees as she keeps working without missing a beat. Around here, there’s always something to do, and nothing gets done unless you step in and do it yourself.

➤ WORKBENCH DETAIL

A woman stands at a workbench holding a mannequin arm while fastening a hand at the wrist with a screwdriver. Her hair is pulled back by a band. A container to her left holds several completed arms that have already been assembled.

➤ PARTS IN MOTION

Another woman stands nearby holding an arm with both hands as she brings it toward the station. A bin in front of her is filled with loose hands waiting to be used.

➤ BACKGROUND SETUP

Two racks in the background hold multiple arms hanging in rows. Farther back, two mannequin torsos are positioned on stands.

🧠 FINAL SOLVE

The final answer was a 10-letter anagram that solved into a 7 + 3 layout. The first word being hyphenated added just a bit of resistance to today’s solve. The J pointed me straight to JOB to quickly get things rolling. With that assembled, HANDS came into view, followed by ON to finish it off. If today’s puzzle slowed you down, the visual of the worker literally putting a HAND ON the arm and the line about not sitting at a desk all day were just enough to bring it home.
