Ok, eye candy…Before we get INTO IT, I’m wondering if I should mention that our theme here today, ARM WRESTLING seems to be a Sweet Repeat also. Since there isn’t much to learn, the dialogue is telling us that’s he’s INSTRUCTING him to keep his ARM steady, and achieve the WIN by bringing DOWN his WRIST…Basically, what it comes DOWN to is a WRIST WATCH…And then ARMy’s probably saying…”BEAU, It’s all in the WRIST…but first, form an EL, BEAU, with your ARM”! Let’s face it, Folks…Rocket Science it’s not…So with our question stating that the rules are SIMPLE…What are they? EASY TO GRASP! ‘Gotta HAND it to you, Dave…You’ve PINNED DOWN another win! ARMy seems hell BENT on teaching young BEAU how to ARM WRESTLE. We seem to be in the living room, and there may be an ARCHWay in the background. On to our cartoon: Today, Jeff has brought us into the home of ARMy HAMMER, and his son, BEAU. The only oddity? USHER has been used at least 5 times in the past few years, and yet each time, including today, the anagram is totally different! And we’re only working with 5 letters here! Kudos, Dave. With today’s words all Sweet Repeats, there wasn’t much to get WORKED UP aBOUT…and none of them got me DOWN. Just take your Wrist and push ‘gainst his.You pin.And there you go!Īll you need is concentration, and the strength behind the clasp…Īnd you’ve learned about Arm Wrestling, and it’s all EASY TO GRASP! □□ Sure the basics are real simple, there’s not much for you to know, His arms projecting muscles, no PASTRY eater he…īut why’s he teaching arm wrestling to a child young as he? It seems odd to see this happening, the son looks way too small,Īnd the Dad looks like an OUTLAW…he’s strong and looks real tall. □□ You can USHER in a New Year, you can usher in ideas,īut creating GIANT wrestling arms will probably take some years. □ I remember DADDY’S HANDS workin ‘ ’til they bled, sacrificed unselfishly just to keep us all fed…If I could do things over, I’d live my life again, and never take for granted the love in DADDY’S HANDS….DADDY’S HANDS were soft and kind when I was cryin’…DADDY’S HANDS were hard as steel when I’d done wrong…DADDY’S HANDS weren’t always gentle, but I’ve come to understand…There was always love in DADDY’S HANDS…□ “Daddy’s Hands” – Holly Dunn 1985 Have a wonderful Wednesday and I’ll see you tomorrow! □ Perhaps we’re watching the arm wrestling match from another room in the house? We may never know but it didn’t have any impact on the overall solvability of the puzzle. I wasn’t quite sure of its purpose when I first noticed it but it appears to be the arch of a doorway. On a final note, the shading in the upper right corner of the cartoon was an interesting addition. It’s very possible that dad said table to keep the rules as simple as possible so his son would have an easier time understanding them. I noticed in the dialogue that the father says “you try to bring my wrist down to the table” when in fact the match is taking place on an ottoman (also known as a footrest or hassock). The action lines around the interlocked hands indicate that both competitors grips are tight and the match can get underway! The dialogue between the characters is nothing more than a straightforward explanation of the rules for a proper match which junior seem’s to pick up on quickly. Dad has quite a height advantage over his son so he’s kneeling on the floor to make the match as fair as possible. The setting for today’s cartoon appears to be a living room where we see a father and son about to begin an arm wrestling match. USHER was the only word that gave me a moment of hesitation and then it was clear sailing all the way through the rest of the clue words as well as the surprise answer. Happy Wednesday, everyone!
