⛺ A FEE FOR ALL

Today’s cartoon takes us to JUMBLE PARK, where a couple has finished setting up camp for their stay. Their particular spot wasn’t free, but neither camper seems too bothered by the charge, especially when they consider what they might have paid elsewhere. With vehicles of all shapes and sizes lined up at the entrance, and sites sure to fill up quick, this place clearly has no trouble attracting overnight guests. With lodging for the night taken care of, they can rest easy knowing that paying a little at the gate secured them a spot to settle into for the night.

➤ THE HAPPY CAMPERS

Up front, a couple of happy campers are putting the finishing touches on their setup. He’s wearing a wide brimmed hat, mustache, T shirt, cargo shorts, sandals, and a watch on his right wrist as he gives his wife a thumbs up. She’s inside the tent adjusting the screen, with her long hair tied back in a ponytail, three studs in her left ear, a sleeveless V neck shirt, and shorts. Just behind the tent, we can see the passenger side front headlight of their vehicle.

➤ BACK AT THE ENTRANCE

In the background, vehicles are lined up at the entrance to JUMBLE PARK, where a sign reads “$ PER VEHICLE.” Three automobiles and a camper appear to be waiting their turn to pay, while a woman in a baseball cap and uniform speaks with the driver of the next vehicle in line. Farther back, a couple of tents of different sizes are already pitched among the trees.

🧠 FINAL SOLVE

The final answer was a 13-letter anagram that solved into a “5 + 5” + 3 layout. Our last puzzle of the work week got a little “in-tents,” but there were a few clues around the campsite to help pitch us in the right direction. After noticing PAYING in the cartoon sentence, FEE seemed like a logical choice for the three-letter word, while TENTS, CAMPS, PRICE, and MONEY all came to mind for the longer portion of the answer. With all the clue words solved, FEE was definitely there, and TENTS soon followed. With those letters crossed out, it took another moment, but ADMIT finally popped into view to put this one to bed.

If today’s puzzle slowed you down, all the talk about the cost of their stay pointed us toward FEE, along with the vehicles lined up at the entrance getting ready to pay the ADMITTANCE charge. The visual of all those TENTS pitched around the campground should have been enough to help us stake out the rest of the answer.

⛺ Click-To-Reveal Facts*: About Tents

➤ Does a “2-person tent” mean two people will be comfortable?
Not necessarily. Tent capacity generally describes how many sleepers can fit inside, and backpacking tents can be especially snug when filled to their rated capacity. Campers who want extra wiggle room often move up one tent size.
SOURCE
➤ Where did the term “pup tent” come from?
The small military shelter picked up the nickname in the 1800s. Its low, cramped shape was said to resemble a shelter just big enough for a dog.
SOURCE
➤ What were most old-fashioned camping tents made from?
Canvas. Before lightweight synthetic fabrics took over, heavy cotton canvas was the standard for generations of campers.

👀 WORD YOU LOOK AT THAT

(Click phrase to reveal its origin)

FOOT THE BILL

Meaning: To foot the bill means to pay for something, especially when you are covering the entire cost.

So, where did it come from?
The expression goes back to old bookkeeping. Before calculators and computers, columns of expenses were added by hand, with the total written at the foot, or bottom, of the account. To “foot” an account therefore meant to add up the figures and arrive at the total.

By the early 1800s, foot the bill had taken on the meaning we know today: actually paying the total. The earliest example recorded by the Oxford English Dictionary appeared in 1819 in Estwick Evans’s A Pedestrious Tour of Four Thousand Miles. Evans humorously described his dogs helping themselves to food and leaving their master to “foot their bills.”
