Anyone else enjoy “lab” crossing “puppy love?”

For me, the best part was John Kugelman’s comment of how the puzzle started — I’m STILL cracking up! (And I really needed a laugh today.) Thanks!

How about the Midi today? Very clever, and a great graphic at the end! Loved it!

Wow. Really fun puzzle! I thought it would take forever, but once I figured out to start at the bottom — and work up — it fell into place quickly. Quite enjoyable — thanks!

How about today’s Midi? With all the New England states where they belong in relation to each other? Incredibly clever! You have to admire feats like that, especially within the constraints of a Midi. Bravo!

Fun puzzle with hilarious constructor comments — and let me give a shout-out to a great Mini today, which was unusually clever. Good job!

The Constructor Notes were terrific!

Very clever! It took me a bit to get the theme, but delighted when I did. And yes, loved both Babe and “that’ll do” — can you tell I have border collies?

Me? Yes, I loved the puzzle — but what cracked me up was the last sentence of Caitlin’s commentary. I mean, it was hilarious!

Loved, loved, loved Sam’s column about the puzzle. Had me laughing out loud. Way to go, Sam!

This was a lot of fun! I laughed out loud at a few of the clues, and marveled at the cleverness of others. Much more fun than most Fridays. And, what about today’s Midi? Tunics and parables — hilarious! These puzzles were a wonderful way to end the day. Thanks!

SO clever! I laughed out loud! Thoroughly enjoyable. Thanks so much for this one!

Not about this puzzle, but how clever was the Midi today? Only the correct way through the maze hit “3 strikes and yer out” (3 X’s) — any other path led to 2 strikes (X’s) and a dead end. Great puzzle!
