Such a Drag!

Q:  

Take the oft used slogan,

 "Save The Whales".

Remove the first name of a well known childrens' author and rearrange what's left to name what many US citizens are experiencing lately.




A:

The title refers to Jack Lemmon and Tony Curtis cross dressing in the Movie "Some Like it Hot".  The image is a clue to the author,  Shel Silverstein, whose works include "Where the Sidewalk Ends". 

Remove SHEL and rearrange the result to get   HEAT WAVES

  1. Last week's puzzle had me bamboozled. I watch TV, but I do not drink cocktails. This week's puzzle is so easy, I can't keep from crying.

  5. Got it with the help of a list. Been reading some excerpts of the author's work. Got the picture and "stump" hints. Not sure about "crying" or the title.
    Musical hint: M&V/L.R.
