Crossword	Date	Comment
Chipmunk	2 January 2017, 23:25	Very well done, getting the markings all fairly visible in such a tight space.
Lamp	30 December 2016, 12:17	I also can't help but see it as an outdoor shower mounted on a fence.
Puppy	30 December 2016, 11:04	Now that is one seriously adorable image. I had filled in the bottom half and I could see it's smile and was suddenly eager to finish it. Also great detail, with the folded ears and such.
Bear	30 December 2016, 10:07	Someone tried to merge a kodiak and a panda. Need to scale the ears back a bit.
Observatory	29 December 2016, 21:32	Nice try at creating the slit, even if it actually looks like it's sporting female genitalia. :) And it's a pretty bad sign when people don't know the difference between a terrestrial observatory and a low-orbit telescope like Hubble.
Bomb	29 December 2016, 4:22	A buh?! No, not a buh, a bomb.
Medical science	28 December 2016, 4:35	Uh no Sean, there's no needle or leech in these symbols. The Rod of Asclepius is a snake wrapped around a staff, and the Bowl of Hygieia is a snake twined around a chalice. They are all based on Greek mythology and deities involved in health and healing. Google Asclepius and Hygieia and you'll get more details on why the symbols include snaes, plus you'll come across mentions of the Hippocratic oath since it references both deities.
Mouse	28 December 2016, 2:59	Nah, hamsters are more fluffy than this. I'd definitely go with rat. Looks like an image right out of Secret of Nimh.
The Nutcracker	28 December 2016, 2:29	The problem with labeling this image as a nutcracker is mostly the hat. The traditional nutcracker soldier design features a bearskin or similarly tall and straight hat. This soldier is wearing what is clearly a bicorn hat, most commonly associated with Napoleon and the uniform of French soldiers. But the tradition of creating nutcracker figures that look like soldiers originated in Germany, and of the many nutcracker images online, none look like this. And a quick Google search confirms there is zero connection between the bicorn hat and German soldiers or Nutcracker dolls.
Swan on the water	27 December 2016, 12:37	Bubbles, dark backdrop to demonstrate such a pristine reflection, and even a great definition of the water's surface. This is one impressively complete image, particularly in such a small one. Very well done!
Prehistoric age	26 December 2016, 11:49	I'm impressed that such a small pterosaur is discernible as one. Well done.
The symbol of medicine	24 December 2016, 10:25	Yeah another that should probably be renamed. The Bowl of Hygeia is a symbol used by pharmacies but isn't really the symbol of medicine - that would be the Rod of Asclepius.
Man	23 December 2016, 20:49	My brain went to Mr. Bill. Oh NOOOoooo!
Buratino	22 December 2016, 22:32	Buratino is Tolstoy's retelling of Pinocchio. It's always interesting the stuff that carries back and forth between the cultures and what is entirely native. I'd have given him some hair though. From what I've seen of narrations specific to Buratino he's usually portrayed with a bit sticking out of his hat, much like Pinocchio.
Winter night	22 December 2016, 22:15	I'm all for the occasional simple puzzle, but you could've added a bit more snow to up the challenge a bit. That's A LOT of easy lines in one 30x30 grid.
The road to the house	22 December 2016, 8:14	Man lives in the sunlit world of what he believes to be reality. But...there is, unseen by most, an underworld, a place that is just as real, but not as brightly lit... a darkside. I think the thing on the bottom left is meant to be a bush, but it's hard to say.
Batman	21 December 2016, 7:00	Too sharp on the tips and tip edges of the wings. Looks more like a simple cartoon bat than what is actually on the bat signal.
Ship	21 December 2016, 4:05	Same here Christiana, went from "What on earth?" to "Ahh, nice!" when I read the title.
The Giant Turnip	21 December 2016, 2:16	I agree BC, I enjoy that I learn about stories and characters I've never heard of, through this site. The Giant Turnip story sounds quite lovely.
TV	20 December 2016, 18:07	Always found the whole 'boob tube' thing incredibly ironic. The marked acceleration of human intelligence and the first glimpses of the information age all trace back to the early 1900s - which means the generations who grew up with telephone, radio and television. That's when our global understanding levels started to skyrocket. History indicates that every invention which makes it easier to share ideas with people outside of your immediate proximity makes for fewer boobs in our society. :)
Student	17 December 2016, 11:53	This is a cute image. Looks like a cartoon version of The Nutty Professor. That is the REAL Nutty Professor, a.k.a. Julius Kelp. Not that travesty staged by Murphy decades later.
Jackdaw	15 December 2016, 1:49	It's a common misconception that blackbirds are in the crow family - while a jackdaw is a kind of crow, a blackbird isn't. It's a type of thrush. Though I'm not even sure how this can be a jackdaw, unless that stuff above its head is something other than plumage. Jackdaws have smooth, sleek heads without a crest. This almost looks more like a kind of parrot or cockatoo.
Gramophone	15 December 2016, 0:25	Great job at making all the pertinent parts visible while still making it a lovely image in such a tight space. In particular putting the hand-crank in the back but standing up was a good choice.
Pirate	13 December 2016, 10:32	I'd have labeled it Tommy Chong celebrating International Talk Like a Pirate Day. :)
Chaplin	13 December 2016, 6:39	More like zombie Charlie. I know the dark eyeliner was his signature look, but it wasn't quite that Gene Simmons.
Komar	2 December 2016, 10:41	Komar is apparently Slovenian for mosquito. Fun and educational. :)
Romantic walk	2 December 2016, 9:38	It's a lovely image but... The only way those two are on a 'walk' is if this is an illustration of Dorf on Sailing.
Bighorn	1 December 2016, 5:41	Another stunning image. Exquisite detail in the various tufts.
Musketeer	1 December 2016, 5:05	This is a fantastic image! Terrific detail and use of highlighting. Really impressive.
Squirrel	30 November 2016, 7:34	Reminds me of the albino squirrel that used to live in my gramma's neighborhood. But the ears are pretty wonky.
Seduction	27 November 2016, 1:16	Given how much of her sunglasses are facing forward, the woman's nose looks like it's sitting on her left cheek.
Birds	25 November 2016, 15:46	If the Animaniacs's Goodfeathers wore hats, this is what it'd look like. :)
Girl and puppy	25 November 2016, 14:13	That's a very sweet image.
Pelican	25 November 2016, 11:24	It's got a ton of personality and is quite cute.
Train	25 November 2016, 10:40	Great image, perfect amount of detail for this sized image. Love the plume.
Briefcase	24 November 2016, 5:34	Looks awfully squat to be a briefcase, I'd have gone with a doctor's bag or a satchel.
Building work	24 November 2016, 3:45	It's actually called a loader.
Walk	23 November 2016, 14:10	adminusff - Actually I was thinking it's on Halloween, because the thing to the right of the cat looks like a skull.
Shrek and Fiona	23 November 2016, 13:43	Very cool image. Couldn't tell what it was from Adam, but as soon as I looked at the title it was completely clear.
Primus stove	23 November 2016, 0:21	I looked it up, it's supposed to be a kind of camping stove. But never seen one quite so busy.
Helicopter over the city	21 November 2016, 13:58	A very interesting image - a lot in a small space without feeling unnecessarily cramped or busy. Well done.
Flower	21 November 2016, 2:26	The issue is that we are all gauging difficulty on different scales. For instance, if a puzzle cannot be solved without guessing or using hints, I immediately gauge it as at least above average, but I'm sure not everyone has the same rating. They need to have a list of criteria they'd like us to rate the difficulty by, to improve consistency.
Know-Nothing	21 November 2016, 2:07	It's a pretty image. Is this a character from a story? I tried Googling it, but all I found was a disturbingly xenophobic political party from the U.S. in the 1800's.
Bird	20 November 2016, 21:03	Beautiful plumage idn't it? ;)
Hippo	20 November 2016, 20:14	Funny you say that, ggg, because Marjorie the Trash Heap from Fraggle Rock is who I thought of as soon as I saw it. Though it still makes for a decent image of it's titled animal. Super easy, but worth it for such a cute pic.
Cheburashka	19 November 2016, 14:21	I looked up the character, it reminds me of the Monchhichi toys we had when I was a kid, only WAY cuter. This is a good likeness.
Kolobok	17 November 2016, 12:00	I like that I learn interesting new things on this site. I checked out the Kolobok character, and it's a fascinating glimpse at how different cultures end up creating similar characters in our fables and fairy tales.
Cube	17 November 2016, 8:14	Needs some work. The cube shape isn't at all square, the shadows don't line up and the letters pretty haphazard - the B is even lower-case while the A is capitalized.
Fish	14 November 2016, 7:17	Kinda cute, kinda creepy. :)
The puppys holiday	14 November 2016, 4:18	Very sweet image.
