CARTOON ANSWER:

THE HEAD OF THE RECLINER FACTORY WAS THE – – –

NHRAMICA = CHAIRMAN

Good morning everyone and happy Monday! CAMERA was the only clue word that wasn’t instantly visible today. We last saw this clue word on 12/26/16 and the fact that it ended in a vowel was my problem. With all of the clue words solved in a flash, it was on to the cartoon.

Looking at the panel, we see a well dressed man in a suit relaxing in a recliner while he has a conversation with two other individuals. Also in the cartoon was a man that appeared to be fixing or assembling a chair but I wasn’t quite sure what he was doing at first glance. Upon reading the dialogue and sentence, we learn that the setting is a recliner factory and the man that’s resting comfortably is testing out one of the high end “executive” models.

The worker has his tongue out and to the side as if he’s concentrating really hard while he makes some adjustments to the chair. I know that I sometimes stick my tongue out in a similar fashion when concentrating so I did a quick Google search to figure out why we do that. One website that I stumbled upon explains that much of our brain is devoted to our tongue because it’s such a large muscle. Sticking your tongue out or biting it cuts down on it’s movement freeing up your brain to concentrate on the task at hand. You learn something new every day!

The letter layout was well jumbled but I instantly found CHAIR. With 3-letters remaining, the answer was no trouble at all and I didn’t stick my tongue out once!

Have a marvelous Monday and I’ll see you tomorrow!
