Hi all,

I found a cartoon to do with cryptic crosswords on the internet, but I couldn't understand it! Can anyone help?

The caption is "The Man who Writes the Cryptic Crosswords"
The woman says "hello Tony"
the man says "Smug warship for example. What!"

What does his response mean?
Any help much appreciated as I am stumped!

It probably doesn't mean anything. Have you a link for the cartoon?

thanks for any help!
Have looked at cartoon. I still think it means nothing other than a joke at the impenetrable nature of some cryptic clues.
