HER HUSBAND SMELLED HORRIBLE AFTER HIS SWEATY WORKOUT, SO SHE GAVE HIM THE – – –

🚿 SHOWER THAT I CARE
Today’s cartoon brings us to the front door, where a guy’s just getting back from a workout. He’s feeling mighty proud of himself and perhaps a little too eager to celebrate. As he leans in for some post-jog affection, the reaction he gets makes it clear he’s brought more than just good energy home with him. She pulls back, not even trying to hide it, while he’s left wondering where things went south. Turns out when you come home smelling like that, you’re not getting a warm welcome, you’re getting a look that says everything.

🔎 JUMBLE JEFF’S JEMS
➤ FOURTH-FITTING HIS CHANCE
He’s dressed appropriately for the day in a sweat-stained Star Wars T-shirt, shorts cut above the knee, and sneakers, with a sweatband wrapped around his head. His hair is disheveled from the workout, and sweat is visible across his brow and down the right side of his face as he leans in for a hug.
➤ NO STANK YOU
She’s wearing a short-sleeve V-neck shirt with pants and shoulder-length hair. Her expression signals she wants no part of what just walked through the door.
➤ RIGHT INSIDE THE DOOR
The scene is set at the entry, with the door behind him and baseboard running along the wall. Outside, we see a bit of the walkway bordered by grass, the roadway just beyond it, and a neighboring home across the street under a lightly clouded sky.
🧠 FINAL SOLVE
The final answer was an 8-letter anagram that would solve into a 5 + 3 layout. Mondays are usually a breeze, but this one left a little something in the air that was hard to ignore. My first instinct was the three-letter word being OFF, based on how the caption read, but the F’s were nowhere to be found. Coming to my senses, I shifted toward words tied to smell, and it didn’t take long to sniff out STINK, leaving EYE to seal the deal. If today’s puzzle slowed you down, our nudges were the look on her face as she pulled away from the embrace, as well as the cartoon sentence setting up that the answer would have to do with smell.
