🪩 ALL PRESENT

Today’s cartoon drops us into a packed school prom where the dance floor is alive and grooving. Some students are dancing together, others are doing their own thing, and nobody is interested in sitting this one out. Off to the side, the chaperone points out that it looks like everyone made it, and from the way the floor is filled, he’s definitely not wrong. The woman next to him notices how well they are moving out there, with smiles all around to back it up. With a crowd like this showing up and having a good time, the turnout tells the whole story.

➤ PEANUTS PROM

Today’s cartoon appears to be Peanuts-themed, with characters that resemble the classic strip by Charles Schulz. The chaperone on the left wears a shirt with the familiar zigzag pattern across the middle, matching Charlie Brown’s signature look. The woman on the right has the short, dark hair and dress style that closely resembles Lucy. Moving counterclockwise, the figure behind her could pass for Pig-Pen, while the pair behind him suggests Linus and Sally dancing together. The DJ in the back raises a hand over the turntable in a way that could be a nod to Schroeder. The banner reading HAPPINESS IS A FUN PROM plays on the well-known line, “Happiness is a warm puppy,” a reference to the Peanuts cartoon that debuted on this day, April 25, 1960.

🧠 FINAL SOLVE

The final answer was an 11-letter anagram that solved into a “6 + 5” layout. It appeared a bit intimidating at first, but pausing before jumping in and sticking with the blind solve approach that’s been working all week made this one feel within reach. Focusing on the dialogue, the chaperone on the left pointing out that everyone made it gave me ATTEND, while Lucy’s likeness commenting on the moves filled in DANCE. It didn’t take long to bring the two together for a satisfying Saturday solve. If this one slowed you down, those were the nudges for the day, along with the visual of a packed dance floor where everyone is there dancing.

SOURCE
➤ What’s one tradition that still sticks today?
One tradition that still sticks today is the crowning of prom royalty, where a king and queen are chosen during the event. Along with that, students continue to show up in large numbers to attend and dance throughout the evening, keeping the core idea of prom alive.

Cookies and Cream Milkshake Cookies

What makes these hit is the contrast—you get slightly crisp edges, a thicker center that holds its shape, and actual chunks of cookie throughout instead of just flavoring. The crushed cookies give you that familiar bite in every piece, and the overall feel leans more like a bakery-style cookie than something flat or forgettable.
