⚾️ Caught a Deal

Today’s cartoon takes us inside ALL-STAR SPORTS, where a sale on baseballs has turned out to be a major success. With the display picked clean, the two employees can’t help but admire how quickly their promotion caught on. One lucky customer is seen heading for the door, having successfully dug out the very last ball from the bin. At two bucks apiece, those baseballs were history as soon as the sale began.

➤ THE HOME TEAM

The male employee behind the register wears a baseball cap with the store’s star logo, a baseball-style V-neck jersey over a shirt, and a sweatband on each wrist. His coworker wears a visor with the same star logo and a V-neck short-sleeve shirt over another shirt. Both employees have name tags with squiggles standing in for their names.

➤ STEAL OF A DEAL

The customer heading out the door wears a baseball cap, V-neck jersey-style shirt, and pants. With a big smile on his face, he pushes the door open with his left hand while holding the last baseball in his right.

➤ AROUND THE STORE

The store is named ALL-STAR SPORTS, visible in reverse on the front window with a star logo on either side of ALL. Other sporting goods are on display, including bats for $50 and helmets for $40, as well as footballs in a center display. The main attraction is the now-empty baseball bin beneath a large SALE $2 sign shaped like a baseball diamond.

🧠 FINAL SOLVE

The final answer was a 14-letter anagram that solved into a 5 + 5 + 4 layout. The length of our Sunday solve looked like it may have been headed for extra innings, but the way the accompanying sentence was worded made GOING, GOING, GONE my first guess. With all the clue words solved, the Gs let me know I was on a hot streak, bringing this one to a close in a hurry. If today’s puzzle slowed you down, our biggest nudges were the dialogue exchange between the employees about how well the sale had been GOING, the customer GOING out the door, and the empty bin showing that all the balls were GONE.
