Scotch terrier	31 January 2023, 2:11	I think you are right! (I had to look it up; I only know the MacDonald tartan offhand.)

Chinese Year of the Rabbit	23 January 2023, 8:20	I love this so much.
Graveyard	23 January 2023, 1:33	Stone cold sober, honor students with the most wholesome intentions perfectly appropriate for their field of study, terrorizing someone in their own yard for zero reason. I feel bad that I never went back to apologize!
Graveyard	23 January 2023, 1:31	Long-ago story. In college, some anthropology students met at the house of one of our professors for a party. Professor told us about a nearby graveyard out in the country that was fun to explore at night. On the way home, my friend and I decided to find it. Soon we saw a driveway flanked with stone pillars and knew it was the place. But my friend was scared, so we went back home. Months later, my friend and I were at my house when two of my male friends showed up. We decided to go to the graveyard, as my friend felt safer with two men with us. So we drove out, found the place, and got out of our car. We were walking around, talking loudly, absentmindedly looking for headstones. Then it occurred to all of us, at the same time, that there were no headstones. Suddenly a light came on in a nearby building, and we heard a voice yelling at us. "Who's out there? I'm getting my gun!" We jumped into the car and drove away. Turns out it wasn't the graveyard...it was someone's home.
Mr. Bill (Saturday Night Live)	17 January 2023, 6:09	Oh noooo!
Melted Snowman	15 January 2023, 0:15	This series is growing dark.
Snowman	14 January 2023, 3:11	It looks a little distressed.
Knight (chess)	13 January 2023, 19:20	I thought it was going to be a microscope for the longest time.
New life	11 January 2023, 1:54	I like the name of this!
Dejected Skeleton	8 January 2023, 20:34	Great title.
Snowman	8 January 2023, 1:31	Interesting, most days I do a couple of the puzzles that come up in the random puzzle section on the sidebar. I had TWO other puzzles of this subject come up right after I did this one. The universe is telling me to stock up on hats and gloves.
Spikes	3 January 2023, 10:38	I thought it was a totem pole, abstract dancers, or wheat. The title makes it sound a lot more sinister!
Grasshopper	3 January 2023, 10:07	I was intently concentrating on the gray, just seeing the gray and not what was in between it. Then about half way through the puzzle I got up for a moment, and when I glanced back at the computer from across the room...WOW! It was so clear! Great job.
Patisson	3 January 2023, 9:40	I thought it was a green heirloom tomato.
Pied Piper	3 January 2023, 4:46	There is a tour you can take in Germany that follows the origins of fairy tales. This story is among them--you can visit the church in Hameln (AKA Hamelin) where the stained glass window originally stood. The tour goes into many towns associated with events or lore that eventually became the basis for the Grimm brothers' fairy tales. I'd love to take the tour some day!
Pied Piper	2 January 2023, 1:45	Only recently I was reading up on the origins of this story, which is based on the wording on a stained glass window from the 1300s, to note the 100-year anniversary of the date 130 children were taken or stolen from the village. No one knows exactly what happened to the children, but theories abound. It might have been a reference to a disease epidemic like the plague which may have taken the "children" (AKA the citizens of the village) away, where the piper represented Death. Or it might have been as simple as a mass emigration. Some think it may have been some sort of pagan cult leader who kidnapped the children into the mountains for nefarious purposes. I find the entire topic fascinating.
Loser	2 January 2023, 1:07	Looks like a sad Lego guy?
Ice Tea in a Mason Jar, the Way God Intended	1 January 2023, 2:35	Love the Title!
Happy New Nonogram Year	1 January 2023, 0:37	As soon as I saw what this was going to be, I started smiling. It's exactly the thing I would expect from you!
Cartoon Bombs	31 December 2022, 8:37	Boxing gloves in this corner...
Woman on Sunday Afternoon -- Seurat	30 December 2022, 1:26	Nice! Might this have worked better in color, though?
Whale	26 December 2022, 3:17	I happened on this one today in the random puzzles, and noticed my comment above about it being really hard to start. I tried it again, and I have no idea why I was having trouble the first time. Several large blocks appeared right away, and it was just a matter of logic after that. How odd that I somehow couldn't get those large blocks the first time I did it back in September!
Candle	25 December 2022, 3:51	Coincidentally, I JUST got finished making a batch of these with my son, filled with small gemstones and pretty stone items, to be used as gifts and to sell at local festivals!
Hamsa	25 December 2022, 3:28	Lovely.
American Gothic	25 December 2022, 0:00	Oh my goodness! I started out at the bottom, thinking this was going to either be Santa or some Magi situation. At some point I realized what was unfolding before me, and I was delighted! This was easy but still involved a lot of thought. It's nice to see a larger puzzle from you, and you absolutely nailed it.
Boots	22 December 2022, 20:22	This is a really cool image. It's unusual, and it tells a story.
Man in Suit	22 December 2022, 19:52	Mindscrub is a hottie.
In a taxi over the city	22 December 2022, 0:49	Having worked on the edges first, I thought for the longest time that this would be a rare yec72 without Luka! Funny surprise at the end!
Schooner	20 December 2022, 2:20	It looked like a tank from the bottom.
Jack and Jill Fetching Water	19 December 2022, 20:38	Stewy idolizes Luka.
Cat	18 December 2022, 8:32	I was worried it was gonna be a penguin!
Soon it will rain	18 December 2022, 8:22	Reminds me of this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CPfqFD2kfVU
Cinderella	18 December 2022, 5:26	The funniest part of this isn't that the slippers look like Luka's boots (is he her fairy godfather?), but that the one on the step actually, in its rudimentary, pixelated way, looks like it could be clear glass!
Miller's Daughter in Rumplestiltskin	17 December 2022, 1:15	"Tonight my cakes I bake. Tonight my beer I make. Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow... The Queen's little baby I take!"
The Princess and the Pea	16 December 2022, 6:25	I am convinced that this tale came about because of sheet pilling. NO ONE can sleep on that.
Hansel and Gretel Leave Breadcrumbs	15 December 2022, 6:19	I thought it was Luka's grandson playing Hansel!
Woodpecker	14 December 2022, 6:00	I did the black last, and it was only then that the image popped into sight. Good one!
Gloves	13 December 2022, 9:04	I did the light purple first, and thought it would be a bottle. Then I did the black, and thought it was a cloth bag. It's fun to have a puzzle that keeps surprising me!
Little Red Riding Hood and Wolf	13 December 2022, 8:27	It's funny, once you know her basic shape, it's possible to solve parts of her without logic!
On the beach	13 December 2022, 5:21	She's very jaundiced.
Little Match Girl	11 December 2022, 7:04	Very interesting. I was talking with my kids yesterday about the origins of fairy tales, and how a lot of them were originally very dark. I have a very old book of Andersen's fairy tales, which I got out, dusted off, and looked through. One of the stories I read yesterday was the one that is the title of this puzzle. MINDSCRUB IS SCRUBBING MY MIND!!!
Wolf	11 December 2022, 2:44	I've solved close to 6000 puzzles at this point, and this is in my top ten favorites. So simple and effective.
Strong man	10 December 2022, 10:31	I like this. I thought it was going to be a teddy bear or some other cartoony animal with round ears. So I was pleasantly surpised that it was nothing like that!
Watermelon	9 December 2022, 4:05	I did the red/black last. Before that was in, I was convinced it was Snoopy as the WWI Flying Ace. Hard to believe, I know, but try solving the greens and gray first and you'll see what I mean!
Mouse with cheese	7 December 2022, 21:47	A bit TOO easy; no opportunity to think and use logic, because everything fell into place. I thought it was a horrible distressed face for a while! Didn't see what was on top of it until after I read the title!
Cocktail	7 December 2022, 6:33	Looks like a tequila sunrise!
Chimp	4 December 2022, 7:52	I love when it goes until the very last pixel before the picture falls into place.
Accordion	4 December 2022, 2:50	Why are there so many negative comments about this? I could see it before the title came up. At least it's a unique subject!
