CARTOON ANSWER:
WHEN HIS GIRLFRIEND BROKE UP WITH HIM ON FRIDAY, THE WEEKEND STARTED ON A – – –
DE AS ARD DY =
“SADDER – DAY”
💔 BLUES AND ADIEUS
Today’s cartoon drops us into the aftermath of a breakup, where one friend is ready to move on while the other is still firmly planted on the couch. Surrounded by tissues, snacks, and enough self-pity to fill the room, the heartbroken guy isn’t exactly in the mood to hear that twenty-four hours should be enough time to get over it. His buddy means well and is clearly trying to kick-start the weekend, but emotional recovery doesn’t always run on a schedule. Sometimes the calendar says it’s time to move forward long before you’re ready to treat the day like a fresh start.

➤ COUCH CAMP
The heartbroken young man is stretched out on what appears to be a couch or daybed. His hair is messy, his eyes look tired, and his expression suggests he has spent plenty of time thinking about the breakup.
➤ COMFORT FOOD
Near his left hand is a box of tissues, with several used tissues scattered nearby. A bag of chips marked “POTATO” rests on the table beside him, alongside a large soft drink cup with a straw.
➤ LET’S GO
His buddy stands nearby wearing a T-shirt and pants, with a full goatee and a smile on his face. One hand is pointing while the other gestures “let’s go,” matching his suggestion that it is time to get the weekend started.
🧠 FINAL SOLVE
The final answer was a 9-letter anagram that would solve into a single word layout of “6-3”. The quotes indicated that wordplay would be in use today. At first, it looked like it was going to cause a little heartache, but once the clue words were solved, that’s when things really got on a roll. The DY at the end of the layout clued me into DAY, and it didn’t take long to see SADDER for the wordplay to seal the deal. If today’s puzzle slowed you down, our biggest nudge was the cartoon sentence indicating that the breakup happened on a Friday and that the weekend was starting. Since the weekend would begin on Saturday, the depressed mood pointed us toward “SADDER-DAY” for the wordplay finish.
