Crossword	Date	Comment
Key	9 September 2022, 2:09	Five seconds.
Turntable	8 September 2022, 19:01	I was convinced it was a lotus flower for most of the puzzle. But the real title is way better!
Tennis Player	8 September 2022, 0:54	A shadow in a darker/grayer skin tone might have looked better than black.
Blue and white flycatcher	6 September 2022, 5:49	The eye is the single black dot. If the image had been bigger, I agree adding some white would have caused it to stand out more, but there really wasn't a place to put any white in this size of a picture.
Cheering Fans	6 September 2022, 5:04	Interesting. I can see it, but there are a few other things it could easily be as well.
Low Lunge Pose	4 September 2022, 7:45	Back when I was enjoying your Olympics series, I skipped this one because I apparently did not have time to do larger ones then. I have been coming back to your older puzzles, and I must say that this one is stunning. Much easier and quicker than I thought it would be, and just gorgeous.
Tennis Ace	4 September 2022, 3:28	Ahh, okay. This one might have worked better as a color puzzle.
Tennis Ace	3 September 2022, 4:21	I'm not seeing this one, even in the thumbnail...
Elephant	28 August 2022, 7:17	On the last puzzle I said you should work a little harder to get a double image, and I think this one fits. The black is the elephant's body, and its white head is looking back toward its rump. It has jagged eyebrows, and two eyes. But then, there's also the WHITE elephant, in profile, facing left, with its trunk up, the aforementioned eyebrows now becoming its ear. Don't know if you intended it to be this way, but if so, it is brilliant.
Pear	27 August 2022, 5:55	It was more interesting when I thought it was a slinky Chinese dragon.
Elephant	27 August 2022, 1:18	Cool styling. With a little more thought, you might be able to create two different images at once. This one definitely has the feel of some additional image hidden within the main one, though I know it does not.
Elephant Bath	24 August 2022, 5:52	A new nonogram character, doing assorted daily tasks?
Elephant	24 August 2022, 5:33	I have had to skip a couple of those. I will need to save them for when I have a LOT of time!
Elephant	23 August 2022, 5:22	Very interesting perspective and stylized shading here. Almost a quasi-negative image, where the object is black but the shadows are white.
Elephant	23 August 2022, 5:20	Great job! I actually have been working my way through your old ones (with no incentive in mind other than that I like your puzzles), and I always like getting on in the evening and finding your latest.
Antique Phone	22 August 2022, 4:22	I thought it was going to be the giant Kool-Ade pitcher. I was way off.
Woman on Treadmill	21 August 2022, 23:04	This one was amazingly hard to get started. And then there was a flip, and...suddenly the puzzle was solving itself!
Rocketman - Elton John	21 August 2022, 6:58	I finally got one without the title! (Was sort of hoping it was Bowie's song, though...)
Your Mother Should Know - The Beatles	21 August 2022, 6:44	I thought I had this one! (Bruce Springsteen.)
Highway To Hell - AC/DC	20 August 2022, 23:38	I might have guessed this if I had worked it from the bottom up like I usually do. But since I worked it from the top, my thought was "Come on baby..."
Paint It Black - The Rolling Stones	20 August 2022, 23:22	Okay, now I see where you are going, theme-wise. I look forward to seeing what else you come up with. (And if I can guess them before the last square reveals the title!)
She's A Rainbow - The Rolling Stones	20 August 2022, 3:51	When you see these colors, you just KNOW what it is going to be. There are so many of them, and it gets tiresome. Therefore, I must say I was surprised and delighted to see this very unique take on it!
We're together	20 August 2022, 3:34	Awww, play time. Maybe in the new sand box?
TIC-TAC-toe	19 August 2022, 22:43	I have never lost this game. Tied many times, but never lost.
Snake charmer	19 August 2022, 22:09	Love the concept, and the picture is really great, too. I think more detail would have made the snake more clear. It doesn't seem to have a head.
Clockwork mouse	19 August 2022, 10:14	If you work it from the top, it looks like E.T.
Pastel Highlighters	19 August 2022, 7:07	This is a good one to try if you are just beginning to do color puzzles without Xs. It went pretty quickly.
Airplane	19 August 2022, 4:21	For most of the puzzle I thought it was a whale or some similar ocean creature. I was surprised!
Skull	19 August 2022, 4:03	Oh my goodness. I solved it from the top down. Go ahead and cover the bottom half of the picture. Cn you blame me for thinking this was going to be Stevie Wonder??
Old-Fashioned Photographer Under Hood	19 August 2022, 3:48	This is so awesome. I could see it immediately.
Puzzle	17 August 2022, 17:44	I have, on two separate occasions, solved one of these with my feet.
Butterfly	17 August 2022, 17:03	Nicer angle than we usually see with this subject.
Pyramids	15 August 2022, 5:46	Really nice small, easy one with a unique and well-composed image.
High Heel Shoes	15 August 2022, 4:35	Cool, I didn't see it until the very last square.
Giraffe	14 August 2022, 21:49	Oh my goodness. It took the title to finally see what this was. I was convinced it was a colorful chef for most of the puzzle!
Witch	14 August 2022, 9:36	Not sure I understand the red and blue tartan, but otherwise it's a nice image!
Cones	12 August 2022, 21:11	At first glance this looks like it is going to be a hard one, with all of the single colors. But by blocking out the white spaces first, the rest of the puzzle pretty much solved itself.
Man in Laurel Wreath	12 August 2022, 4:11	Funny, toward the end I was thinking it looked like Apollo!
Tornado	8 August 2022, 4:14	In December, my phone went off with the warning that a tornado had been spotted in my county. I headed out for the nearby university, which is my go-to spot for tornado safety. Unbeknownst to me, during the drive to the campus, a tornado was lifting off the roof of the Amazon building a mile from me. If it had been daytime, I would have seen it. After the warning was over, another tornado warning sounded. I tried to go back to SIUE, but the road was now closed. The road to my home was now closed too. Not knowing what to do, I drove into town, losing my way in the pitch dark with rain slashing down, and then hearing tornado sirens going off all around me. Eventually I realized I was on the street of my sister, so I booked it to her house, where we spent the next hour sheltering. The next day I took a drive to see chunks of Amazon roof on my street from where the tornado had dropped them. The nearest was about a half a mile from my home. One of the scariest times in my life!
Vase Optical Illusion	7 August 2022, 4:50	I love this one!
Happy Toast Toaster	6 August 2022, 8:09	It was the grownups who thought this. We kids, on the other hand, felt that a burn was a fair exchange for making our very own partly-raw cookies with a light bulb that quite possibly might melt the oven.
Loch Ness Monster	6 August 2022, 6:50	You realize, I hope, that you are the only artist whose long puzzles I will spend this sort of effort on.
Happy Toast Toaster	6 August 2022, 5:52	But we had Easy Bake Ovens, which was pretty much the greatest thing in the world until grownups figured out that giving little kids toy ovens hot enough to bake cookies was maybe not the most responsible move.
Space Needle	5 August 2022, 11:38	Hey baby I hear the blues a-calling, tossed salads and scrambled eggs...
Space Needle	5 August 2022, 11:37	Same! I love this one!
Chicken	5 August 2022, 3:47	I like the orientation and expression. Lots of personality for such a small puzzle.
Girl Waving	5 August 2022, 2:58	I started this last night, and had so much trouble with it (I was very tired) that I set it aside but forgot to save it. Today, I started it from the beginning, and found it so easy at first. Thinking that my sleep-deprived mind was the reason for its difficulty, I happily continued solving this easy puzzle. Until it suddenly became not easy. I used a hint, and then realized it was the SAME hint I'd needed the night before! I ended up using the other two hints, and still had a really hard time finishing this. Great job, Mindscrub, on a puzzle that started out deceptively easy, then switched to something that went beyond three hints.
Venusaur (Pokémon)	3 August 2022, 8:01	My son glanced over my shoulder when I was almost done, and said exactly what it was. I was bummed because I don't know anything about this subject either, and I find these puzzles unsatisfying in the end. I went ahead and finished it, though. At least it was a good journey, even if the result was meaningless to me!
Ladybug	2 August 2022, 0:49	Interesting how this started out being the Comedy and Tragedy masks.
Swing	2 August 2022, 0:29	Awww, cute! First the sandbox, now this! He's a good Grandfather!
