Happy Wednesday, everyone! Whale it looks like the easy puzzles have drifted out to sea as David and Jeff offered up a brilliant midweek stumper that was a reel pain in the bass!!! All of our clue words were old favorites from 2018, but their anagrams were fresh and new. ENZYME took the longest for me to decipher and I had to mullet over for several minutes. Even though it had disstink letters like Z and Y, it was the doubeel E's that caused me to flounder. I figured that David wouldn't leave them coupled together in both the anagram and its solution so I broke them up and the answer became visible after a few self-jumbles. It was only fitting that TARDY was our oldest clue word for today (3/29/18) while the divine ENZYME jumble was our most reefcent (12/9/18).
Wading our way over to the cartoon, we happen upon two oddly-attired gentlemen that are enjoying a bit of fishing. By reading the cartoon sentence we learn that they're actually actors in costume and not just obsessed with clothing from the 1700's. Looking closely at their faces, I believe that Jeff surpised us with caricatures of Lin-Manuel Miranda and Leslie Odom Jr. from the Broadway musical Hamilton.
Their dialogue suggests that they're both taking some time off to unwind from the pressures of acting and are enjoying some piece and quiet on mother natures stage. Miranda seems to have spotted something lurking in the depths just beyond the pier and we see his bobber gently swaying in the water. Odom has decided to fish with a lure and we see the motion lines around his pole that seem to indicate that he's preparing to cast his line. Two fun details stood out in the panel which were a couple of small fish swimming just below the surface of the water near the pier and four cattails at the edge of the water in the background.
The final solve was an anagram consisting of 11-letters and would solve into two words. David gave us a spectacularly cryptic Jumble that gave nothing away and the cartoon didn't help me much either. Today was the sort of day where I can't definitively describe how I arrived at the solution. It was LOTS of trial and error and making different letter combinations to form small words. I can tell you that once I found CAST, the rest of the solution came rather quickly because of the double M's. Have a wonderful Wednesday, my friends, and tank cod this puzzle is over!

Good morning. Total collapse today. I was stuck on ENZYME and caved in and looked for the answer besides throwing in the towel on the cartoon answer. The good news out of total failure is that it starts all over again tomorrow. Not total failure I hope. Until then,take care.
° Working late in the CAMPUS lab, trying to blend one ENZYME into another, the BRASH young student ended up being TARDY for rehearsal, and the other CAST MEMBERS were not amused..
'Cause even in cold water, there's an ENZYME for the stains.
I'm all for less bacteria…on CAMPUS this I learned.
A story of a camping ground complete with burning embers?
Was not for Tide the stench of smoke would still be on CAST MEMBERS!
Angela, the restaurant is within walking distance from me. Have eaten there a couple of times with my youngest one and daughter-in-law. Not being overjoyed with raw fish, I must say I did enjoy it both times I was there. The Oasis restaurant at the corner with the green awning and Franks Pizzera on the other side, I've eaten there many times.
The picture they had on TV you could see the restaurant with the green awning at the end of the block to its left and Franks Pizzera across the street. Mass is Sat 5:30pm,Sun 8:00am,11:30am &5:30pm Mon & Fri just 12:00pm Tues-Thurs 6:30am &12:00pm. A far cry from when I was a kid and on Sunday they had mass from 6:00 till 1:00pm every hour and from 10:00 -1:00 at three chapels. Thanks for fixing problem.
The words were a snap, but I finally threw in the towel on the surprise answer.
I am signed in but posting anonymously – this is John.
John, I don't know whether you saw my comment to you last week, so I'll repeat it. My clerk at the DMV was a young guy with an official MLB hat that said something like "Opening Weekend", so I said "Nice hat. Did you go to Japan?" He said "Yes, I did". "Did you see Ichiro retire?" "Yes, I did!" Now there's a memory that will last him until he's as old as I am!
Thanks John. I must have missed the reply.
The 4 anagrams were an instant solve for me,even enzyme.But the puzzle solution gave me reason to pause,as I was thinking team rather than cast for the 4 letter word.But then members popped into mind quickly followed by cast.Say,just curious, have my comments come thru? I haven't garnered any replies lately.
Great job on sleuthing out the answer, Chuck. This is the only comment that I've seen come across. Do you think something fishy is going on???
No problem with the words or cartoon answer today though enzyme has tripped me up before. Steve, thanks for the link to "Rockin Robin" yesterday. It was very apropos and I just loved the Edsel.
Happy to send it. Yes the photos were priceless.
Three Monday puzzles in a row. Monday Monday Monday! So relaxing!!
Sorry, just read the comments now and didn't realize people had trouble with this one. Guess the above comment seems obnoxious in light of that. I guess all the words and puzzle were somehow in my wheelhouse this morning. Two cups of coffee must have helped!
No worries, my friend. Thanks for letting minnow!
Hi all – Only TARDY took a couple of looks, after going through TRYAD and DRATY. That seems like an archaic word to me, like "hark". Can't remember the last time I heard anyone use it. I thought the second answer word would be CASTING; it took writing down the letters and realizing that CAST was the first word to get it.
Great puns and details today, both Mike and Angela. Thanks for all the Hamilton details Angela, since I haven't seen the play!
Easily my worst performance of 2019. The first three anagrams….easy peasy. And then I was brought to my knees by……'campus'. Gave up. Checked my work……never even close. I was subdued and threw in the towel.
Tomorrow vengeance will be mine!
I took some wrong turns with members and casters but eventually came up with the answer.
