Maybe the rest of you guys can explain what this means to me, because I certainly don't get it!

Looks like:
A crane maybe? With a hook lifting something heavy. And Luca has the remote control in his hands?

Yes I agree with this...probably a mistranslation

It'd not a mistranslation. A slinger hooks up loads, and signals to the crane operator (who is too far from the action to see and move loads precisely).

We'd call him a "dogman" here in Australia. I have no idea why.

It's because with that crazy accent of yours you might pull a muscle in your throat and suffocate if you said "slinger".

Whence we get the saying "to sling one's hook"

That one was on the easier side.
Are we following the theme at the expense of the puzzle?

I guess telling the whole story requires some easier puzzles.

Much easier than the standard Luka affair, this puzzle still brought the quality one comes to expect from yec72. Just because a puzzle is simple does not automatically conflate to poor construction. The same is often true of writing. Something that is easy to read is usually the result of great care on the part of the writer. There is no doubt in my mind that yec72 put as much effort into the construction of this simple puzzle as they do on more difficult puzzles. This is a great example of a puzzle being only as challenging as it needs to be.

The resulting image is simple. The depth of field is attractive, and from what I gather from Onono above, well executed for the title. For me, I had no idea what was going on, even with the title, but this is a case where I learned something new. And that doesn't happen often from nonograms. In both the picture and the puzzle itself, we have an expert delivering simplicity and well-honed quality.

Straightforward but fun that way. 10:15 that way, 6:50 normal way.

BTW this is one tough job. My brother is on surgery number 8 after having done the job for 20 years. The next puzzle just may be broken down Luka.

TNG - was your maiden name Pearl?

Someone's written a song about your brother!

"(Fred) Pearl's a slinger..."

Sorry 'bout that - hope your brother is doing ok?

Elkie Brooks?

Ya' my brother's just at the repair broken body parts before you retire stage. Just a way of life for the diminishing (hard)working class.

Is this a continuous story? If so, Luka has had many occupations. Yec22, you are talented enough that you could produce a variety of puzzles, not necessarily including Luka.

You are such an artist! I enjoy soooo much how it gradually begins to take shape and everything fits just in place. I am a big fan and love your puzles. My deep admiration, Mr. yec72

Thanks, yec72, for a fun puzzle simple enough for even me to solve without xs. Thanks to everyone else for both the funny and the informative comments.
