CARTOON ANSWER:   HUMPTY DUMPTY’S DEPARTURE FROM THE WALL WAS A – – –

GAT   RD   ISE   SST   SU   GOI  = DISASTROUS “EGG-SIT”

Good Morning, Everyone!         👑🍳  WRONGLY “EGG-SECUTED”? 🍳👑

🎶 I’m SITTING ON TOP OF THE WORLD...Just rollin’ along, just rollin’ along. And I’m quittin’ the blues of the world…Just singin’ a song, just singin’ a song. Glory, Hallelujah, I just phoned the parson..”Hey, Par, get ready to call”…Just like HUMPTY DUMPTY, I’M GOIN’ TO FALL..Yes, I’m SITTING ON TOP, top of the world…Just rollin’ along, just rollin’ along…🎶 “I’m Sitting On Top Of The World”  – Dean Martin   1973

👑🍳 We all know Humpty Dumpty as a child’s nursery rhyme,
Recited when kids GATHER, for such a long, long time…
One wonders how it came about, were these words of MISUSE?
Why was there such excitement from what may have been abuse?
What was he doing on that wall? No legs did he AFFORD,
The GOSSIP went around that he had snapped his Spinal Cord…
Dressed oh so nice and with a Crown, he really looked quite SPRUCE,
Yet one can’t help but wonder…Was the SYSTEM that footloose?
Without two legs to guide him, was he placed up there to wit…
And left to meet his sad fate of DISASTROUS “EGG-SIT”? 🍳👑

WALL, WALL...Do you think today the YOLK’s on us? UnSCRAMBLING the words wasn’t a problem, but David sure DISHED out an EGGScellent solution! With all our words Sweet Repeats, there wasn’t any FALLtering there…They all went OVER EASY…but DISASTROUS?..Uh, yes..it almost proved to be! But let’s put our SUNNY SIDES UP, quit HORSEing around, and get to our cartoon…

Today we find ourselves in late eighteen century England, PEERing THROUGH the LOOKING-GLASS, so to speak, as the Kings’ Horses and Men SCRAMBLE to find a way to help HUMPTY DUMPTY. Having fallen off the WALL,  he lies there all BROKEN UP OVER the whole thing! Poor HUMPTY…This is definitely CRACKED up to be a problem…And rumor has it he really was a good EGG…But what a MESStery…How’d he get UP there? Was he asSALTed? Could he have been just a YOLKen PAWN in some crazy Royal takeOVER? Could this have ended BUTTER? Is he really TOAST now? Or was he just SITTING there minding his own business? So many questions, and yet I fear we SHELL never know…BOTTOM line?…It’s definitely a DISASTER…Yep..it’s a DISASTROUS “EGG-SIT”! Bravo, David! You’ve KIDded us once again!

Ok, eye candy…You have no idea how badly I was hoping one of the horses would be Black and White…you know SALT and PEPPER?…but gROAN, they’re not…Big expanse of Green grass, with Black-silhouetted trees WHEY off in the background. A Castle is seen OFF to the right, three flagged-spires showing. Nice POINTS, Jeff . Two FLUFFY clouds in the sky. The Kings’ Men are clad in Gray, with Red Sashes across their chests…And then we have our ENTREE, Humpty, himself. Red gloves, Gold unBROKEN CROWN, his innards YOKING into the ground…I’m going with him. From the looks of it? A perfect SUNNY SIDE UP result…Poor guy. He took a real gamble going up there…although it does look like he BROKE EVEN! So, There you have it YOLKS, Done! Have an EGGScellent day, Everyone! I’m OFF to PICK UP breakfast…I’m just BACON for some EGGS! 🍳👑🙋🏻

CARTOON ANSWER:

WHEN ASKED HOW HER LONG-DISTANCE RELATIONSHIP WAS GOING, SHE SAID – – –

FORSAOODGOS = SO FAR, SO GOOD

 

 

Happy Wednesday morning everyone! We’re at that point in the week where the Jumble usually increases in difficulty, but that definitely wasn’t the case today. All of the clue words came instantly into view and were no trouble whatsoever. GOSSIP was jumbled very well with the S’s so far apart that it may have tripped you up a bit. It’s my pick for the most difficult anagram to decipher as well as a great word choice that meshes well with the cartoon. My final observation on the clue words is that FLOOR is in alphabetical order once solved.

The fine detail in today’s cartoon turned a lackluster puzzle that you solve and forget into one that keeps your attention just a few moments longer. Looking at Jeff’s panel, we see two women having a conversation while enjoying some wine and snacks. It’s unclear as to what’s in the bowl on the table but it appears to be some chips or possibly nuts. On the plate that the woman is holding, you can clearly identify some sausage and crackers. The pictures in the background were beautifully drawn with the one on the left showing the couple hugging each other and the one on the right showing them gazing longingly into each other’s eyes while standing on a beach. The phone on the table appears to be ringing, but the image on the display was difficult to see in the newspaper. I zoomed in on the photo and added a screenshot below for your viewing pleasure.

The letter layout was ok, but there was no way for David to keep it cryptic with all of those O’s. GOOD seemed to leap off the page at me, leaving the rest of the solution to flow naturally into place.

Looking at the site visits is a general indicator as to the difficulty of the puzzle. Let’s just say that nobody is having any trouble solving this one today! Have a wonderful Wednesday and I’ll see you tomorrow!
