Hapless comic, floundering, concludes successfully (12)
I believe the answer is:
accomplishes
'concludes successfully' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this defines the answer.
'hapless comic floundering' is the wordplay.
'floundering' is an anagram indicator (letters flounder or move around).
'hapless'+'comic'='haplesscomic'
'haplesscomic' with letters rearranged gives 'ACCOMPLISHES'.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times.
