🎱 PLAYING DIRTY
Today’s cartoon takes us into a pool hall, where one patron seems far more interested in his food than the game everyone else is trying to play. Instead of dining at an open high-top nearby, he plops a pizza, chicken wings, and a drink directly on the pool table, interrupting the game and drawing plenty of annoyed looks from the crowd. While one bystander calls out his behavior, another can’t believe he’d do something like that, and the inconsiderate patron doesn’t seem bothered in the slightest. Apparently, not everyone follows the same rules at mealtime.

🧠 FINAL SOLVE
The final answer was a 15-letter anagram that solved into a 3 + 5 + 7 LAYOUT. One look at the food, the pool table, and the reaction from the other players, and I knew exactly where this one was headed. The clue word anagrams were especially challenging today, but I managed to work my way through them all and they confirmed my gut instinct. If today’s puzzle slowed you down, our biggest nudges were the player eating his food directly on the pool table while a perfectly good high-top table sat unused in the background. Add in the disgusted reactions from everyone around him, and BAD TABLE MANNERS was right on cue.
