i liked SERIF crossing with TYPEFACE
i really enjoyed this and didn’t find it to be a slog at all. i love an occasional number entry theme!
confused by it being MIZ and not MIS for 60D, but i know spelling varies
ashamed of how quickly i got MANIC PANIC as a former emo teen
@Shimmer if you don’t know pyramus and thisbe (original romeo and juliet and mentioned in metamorphoses) that’s on you
for 15A i had MARIAH, then ARETHA (despite knowing she’s the queen of soul), then i finally got it. made me feel old lol but i had fun with this one!
had a lot of fun with this one, but it bothered me that the silent U for 31As “GUITAR” wasn’t also silent in its usage in 34Ds “UNIONS”.
@Eve also goes for several others, like the C in “SCIENCE” not being silent in “ECOL”
@Dan Maguire shortz is taking time off due to a stroke iirc, it’s been joel for a minute
I was confused by the van gogh hint, as it says “subject for van gogh”, not “subjects”. The answer is plural, but the clue is phrased to indicate that it would be “iris” singular.
