Rainbow Kitty	12 February 2020, 4:50	I can see what you were trying to do, and it's a neat idea, but I don't think it's as successful as some of your other puzzles. I'm thrilled to see some new colour puzzles, though, and I encourage you to do more!
Piggie	12 February 2020, 0:31	Quick and fun!
Chicken	12 February 2020, 0:21	So, this one had a 2* difficulty rating, and I struggled with it (needed hints gasp), and the one below had a 2-1/2* rating and I breezed through it... Weird.
Baby playing with a toy car	11 February 2020, 23:55	Surprised at the 2-1/2* difficulty rating -- this one went smooth as silk for me. And, as usual, a wonderful picture from Ivan.
Anonymous	11 February 2020, 0:29	Wow, the things you learn doing nonograms! Without the comments, I never would have recognized the reference. Good stuff all around.
Puppies	10 February 2020, 10:35	It's cute full size, but the thumbnail is indeed adorable. The red side was easy; the yellow side, not so much.
Building	10 February 2020, 9:51	A quick and easy puzzle. And a nice folksy image. Works for me!
A feather	10 February 2020, 9:05	A really nice pair of puzzles, and not all that difficult if you figure out where to get started.
Rosette	10 February 2020, 5:47	Really pretty!
Spotted puppy	10 February 2020, 4:13	I found this really interesting to do. It took some figuring out but wasn't tedious. I think the picture might have worked out better with a darker colour for the #1, which would have given the final result more shape. But I like it. Not terrible at all!
Rose	9 February 2020, 23:50	Yup, can be done without hints or guessing, but I still needed the hints and a couple of good guesses! Another stunner from Yvan. (I wish there were more than 3 hints, because I always learn from them -- they're not just random but rather, they indicate where a possible step can be taken that I just didn't see.)
Without a cap, the Luka is ugly	7 February 2020, 3:14	That is hilarious! Thanks for another wonderful picture in the series -- and such a simple and fast puzzle, too. Fun!
Duckling	6 February 2020, 23:26	Not sure why it has a 3* difficulty rating... Cute puzzle. Fun to do.
Teddy bear	6 February 2020, 5:00	I knew almost right away what it was going to be, but that didn't make it any easier!
At a meeting with Fisher	6 February 2020, 4:36	How can such a quick and easy puzzle yield such an intricate and fun picture? Amazing.
Puppy	6 February 2020, 0:34	Agree with the comments above! <3 <3 <3
Hippopotamus	5 February 2020, 23:09	That is awesome! Definitely look at the thumbnail.
Have dorsal of nonogram	5 February 2020, 22:59	Thank you, chase! I get it now. Such fun. But I wonder what the translation should be?
Business conversation	5 February 2020, 22:56	Yes, thanks for the background, and please keep going!
Have dorsal of nonogram	5 February 2020, 9:18	I'm lost... I don't understand the title or the comments. :( Fun puzzle, though.
Dog	5 February 2020, 5:21	Not in the thumbnail!
Skateboarder	5 February 2020, 3:45	For a moment there I thought it was Luka [spoiler]with his hat on backwards.[/spoiler] Wrong artist!
Little Mouse	4 February 2020, 10:01	Yes! What emerged was quite a surprise!
Biceps	4 February 2020, 4:19	Couldn't see that one at all until I looked at the very awesome thumbnail!
Now the hammer thrower ))	4 February 2020, 1:21	[So sorry. Forgot the spoiler.] Also [spoiler]" I wonder what Luka is up to now?"[/spoiler]
Now the hammer thrower ))	4 February 2020, 1:19	I agree with everything above! "Oh, there's the hat!"
Elephant	3 February 2020, 2:40	Another beauty -- love the colours, and yes, the scenery, which is so rare in these puzzles (and I imagine hard to fit into such a small space). Plus the stylized [spoiler]elephant[/spoiler] is cute as the dickens.
Panda	3 February 2020, 2:24	I'd like to give this one 6*. Beautiful. Some really tricky bits, too.
Apple	3 February 2020, 1:54	Ha ha! Me, too. :)
Chicken	3 February 2020, 1:34	Another of those delightful puzzles that are super easy yet result in a good picture.
Penguin	3 February 2020, 0:46	He's got character!
Penguin	2 February 2020, 10:18	Well, that was sure a surprise! Love the use of white space.
Bathe	2 February 2020, 3:33	That's what I think. It doesn't make sense for that one little square to be a close yet different colour. It was easy enough to deal with, though.
Dog	2 February 2020, 2:40	I got stuck at one point -- almost resorted to a hint -- but found one thing I could do, and then everything fell into place.
Pole vault	2 February 2020, 2:09	Yeah, I thought no [spoiler]cap[/spoiler]in this one... until I realized it was there but upside down... Fabulous puzzle!
Fish	2 February 2020, 1:17	Oh, Ivan, I think this is a very fine [spoiler]dogfish! https://www.montereybayaquarium.org/animal-guide/fishes/spiny-dogfish[/spoiler] Also check out Google images!
Ring exercises	2 February 2020, 0:11	Wasn't sure at first if he was on a bus or in a gym...
Into space	2 February 2020, 0:04	Somebody sure gets around...
Bird	1 February 2020, 9:18	Definitely a nonobird, and a bright and fun one at that.
Nest	1 February 2020, 9:11	Sweeeeeeeeeeeeeeet! Love this one.
Twine Volochkova	1 February 2020, 3:40	This should make it clear! [spoiler]https://gudsol.wordpress.com/2019/03/30/the-35-most-epic-anastasia-volochkova-twine-photos/[/spoiler]
Dog	1 February 2020, 3:01	Well worth the... ulp... 3 hints I needed.
Goes to the forest for berries	1 February 2020, 2:42	Seemed impossible at first, but it falls neatly into place once you get started and work through it methodically -- and well worth it in the end!
Elephant	31 January 2020, 23:55	I love how such wonderful pictures can emerge from such a fast and easy puzzle. Great for when you just want to spend a minute decompressing before moving on with your day. Well done!
Drummer	31 January 2020, 0:12	Yay!
Bicyclist	31 January 2020, 0:04	That elicited an "Oh, wow!" from me!
Soldier	30 January 2020, 23:54	Me, neither...
Brickwork	30 January 2020, 4:42	[spoiler]Luka [/spoiler] is alive!
An elderly intelligent goblin	30 January 2020, 4:32	I wish there were a "very funny" category -- definitely 5 stars, as long as you stretch the idea of "beautiful" a bit.
New skirt	30 January 2020, 4:14	You mean this isn't part of Ivan's dog series?
