☕ Hot Take

Today’s cartoon drops us into a coffee shop where the morning ritual is not just the caffeine, it’s the complaining. One guy is already fired up, squinting at his newspaper and going off about how small the print is. The waitress isn’t buying it for a second, reminding him he says the same thing every day, yet still finishes them. Meanwhile, the other guy casually asks for the sports section like this whole routine is just part of the show. Some people don’t wake up until that first cup hits, and for others, the day doesn’t really begin until the grumbling starts brewing.

🧠 FINAL SOLVE

The final answer was a 13-letter anagram that would solve into a “7” + 6 layout. The way the cartoon answer read I figured coffee or a word associated with coffee would get things rolling. Sure enough, all the F’s and E’s pointed me to COFFEE leaving MOAN and the -ING suffix for the finish. If today’s puzzle slowed you down our nudges were all the coffee being poured front and center as well as him being clearly identified as a constant complainer.
