✈️ THE FRIENDLY SKIES?

Today’s cartoon takes us aboard a flight where the passengers are keeping the crew plenty busy. One traveler is suddenly in a hurry for his meal, another wants a refill of ice, and the woman up front has a rather creative solution for her popping ears. The two flight attendants are doing their best to keep up, but the requests just keep coming from every direction. With demands piling up faster than the beverage cart can roll, the crew is definitely starting to feel the squeeze.

➤ MEAL DEAL

The seated passenger in back is bald, pointing his left index finger as he makes a last-minute change to his meal. The attendant, wearing glasses, a collared shirt, tie, and uniform vest, is holding the meal on a tray that he thought the passenger wanted.

➤ REQUESTS ON THE FLY

Up front, Dad is snoozing in the window seat while Mom has her own idea about fixing her popping ears. Their son couldn’t care less about any of it. He’s focused on his device with a snack and drink sitting on his tray table.

➤ JUST CHILL

One row back, another passenger is calling for more ice while the attendant is already dealing with another request. The attendant gives her the hand as she finishes with the passenger in front of her, with part of the beverage cart visible nearby and the busy airplane cabin filling out the scene.

🧠 FINAL SOLVE

The final answer was a 13-letter anagram that solved into a 5 + 8 layout. Our Thursday’s puzzle got off to a bumpy start, but ended with a smooth landing when all was said and done. With so much going on in the cartoon, both character-wise and dialogue-wise, STRESS was the only word that came to mind after reading the cartoon sentence and trying to formulate an answer. After taking a few extra minutes to solve HENCE, I was ready to make my approach. There was no T in the layout, so my guess of STRESS went out the window. Luckily, the URE at the end brought PRESSURE to mind instead. With those letters crossed out, CABIN was waiting in the remainder, bringing this one in a few minutes behind schedule, but complete. If today’s puzzle slowed you down, our nudges were all the passengers in the CABIN putting increasing PRESSURE on the crew with one demand after another, while the dialogue from the woman up front and her unique solution for reducing the CABIN PRESSURE tied the wordplay together.

👀 WORD YOU LOOK AT THAT

(Click phrase to reveal its origin)

RUN THE GAUNTLET

Meaning: To go through a difficult or unpleasant series of challenges, often one right after another.

So, where did it come from?
This one goes back to an old form of military punishment. The phrase came into English in the 1600s from the Swedish gatlopp, meaning “lane course.” A soldier being punished had to run between two rows of fellow soldiers who struck him with sticks, switches, or other objects as he passed. It could be used for offenses such as desertion, theft, or breaking military rules, and in especially harsh cases, the soldier could be made to run through the lines more than once.

The punishment spread into other European military traditions and eventually became known in English as running the gauntlet. Thankfully, the blows disappeared but the idea of having to make your way through one ordeal after another stuck. Today, if you’re facing a relentless string of problems, demands, or challenges, you’re running the gauntlet.
