Hi Strands fans. I found this theme to be a little bit tenuous, to be honest, but maybe I'm just making excuses for the fact I needed to use two clues before I cottoned on!
Those two clues revealed COMIC near the top right and DROLL in the top left.
Okay, so this is about different ways of praising someone's funny comments? Well, maybe, but LAUGHABLE is more dismissive than full of praise...
In any case, those clues set me on the right track. I found AMUSING in the bottom right next, followed by WITTY along the top. That cleared up enough space for me to get the spangram of THATSFUNNY.
It also isolated the two remaining answers into different segments. I found the aforementioned LAUGHABLE on the left-hand side next, and that left the anagram of SUOTORI to decode. It was, of course, RIOTOUS.
