That was fun!

My brilliant mother completed the crossword every morning before she left the house, for decades. She would only permit herself to check a reference book if she really needed to leave. (And we had some beautiful reference books… Larousse encyclopedias, out of date encyclopedias that fascinated her, atlases…) I am wondering if a puzzle like this would have been possible to complete before Google, even with an extensive library. Wish she were here to ask.

That was very satisfying. I got the theme with MICKEY and the rest followed from there.

Good puzzle. Terrible pun.

I feel very satisfied after completing this beautifully clued puzzle.

I loved this puzzle, but I think I love the creator’s notes more. What a wonderful, thoughtful and creative young person.

I really loved this puzzle. But my animation isn’t working?

I like the theme, but 4A/4D was a Natick for me, as was 14A/3D.

Duckies! That is all.

Regarding the 2 truths and a lie: I think someone doesn’t like ice cream as much as they could…

I don’t usually comment, but this one was a joyride. I went from confused mulling to cascading “aha” moments. More fun than a toddler knocking over his big brother’s ERECTOR SET construction.

Spent way too long thinking that FIR STAND TEN must be a European football thing.

I loved the approach but I don’t understand how CONSTELLATION is the correct answer to 19a…
