Crossword	Date	Comment
Stroller	11 September 2022, 2:47	When we mislaid ours in the Vienna airport, I learned that in German it's a kinderwagen.
Yellow Bunny	10 September 2022, 17:38	But doesn't it look like a beaver tail?
Baby	10 September 2022, 17:21	It's fine if I concentrate. As soon as I stop, those top seven white spaces become three eyes.
Donald	9 September 2022, 21:14	It would need a great deal more orange.
Strawberry	9 September 2022, 17:05	"Interesting logic." Or a couple of really stupid mistakes. I didn't exactly choose the second option, but ...
Sea	9 September 2022, 2:14	I'd love to be beside your side beside the sea, beside the seaside by the beautiful sea. (It's got to be sung to be appreciated.)
Coffee	9 September 2022, 0:57	It wasn't until I was well along on the right third of the puzzle that I realized what the left third was going to end up being. Very nice.
Bee	8 September 2022, 20:46	So, not tigerfish then?
Viking	7 September 2022, 19:46	I was thinking deep sea diver too. But maybe we're looking at his back?
Kitty	6 September 2022, 17:56	That catnip mouse doesn't have long to live.
Banana	5 September 2022, 17:36	My only problem with the colors is that I really don't think I would eat a banana that was tan.
Sheep	5 September 2022, 6:05	Blue, yellow, and green all done, and I was halfway through the black before I had a clue.
Pear	5 September 2022, 0:19	Very nice. I did the first two colors and I knew already where this was going.
Apple	3 September 2022, 18:29	To me the leaves looked like beet leaves (and why I think I would recognize beet leaves I couldn't say), but the colors were too bright and cheerful. Nothing about beets is cheerful. Yuckaroni.
The map	3 September 2022, 18:09	I thought it vaguely resembled New Zealand (whither we soon will be going, and which is therefore on my mind). I missed the flag entirely.
Dragon	2 September 2022, 23:17	First it was a camel. Then some sort of deer/antelope. Then a camel again--with horns, but with that blanket draped over its hump what else could it be?
Frog	2 September 2022, 17:31	Working from the bottom up, I knew fairly early it was a frog; but when I got to row 8 I foolishly thought the two black squares were the eyes. abrupt change of subject I spend time on a site with a completely different sort of puzzle. Just before I came here to do this, the last puzzle I saw back there was called "Kermit".
Ladybug	1 September 2022, 16:28	raises hand
Leaf	1 September 2022, 0:56	If you mean clicking the "small" button at the top when you've chosen b&w or colo(u)r, that's what I do. If you mean something more complicated than that, I don't know what it is.
Brush and Palette	31 August 2022, 20:06	That makes three of us.
Leaf	31 August 2022, 1:51	Many thanks--but I doubt you'll find many. I rarely do medium puzzles. I'm frustrated by having to decide whether I want the grid large enough to read the numbers or small enough so that I can see the numbers and the target at the same time.
TV	30 August 2022, 20:16	I remember when there were in fact test patterns, but it seems to me that by the time color came around, the day of the test pattern was over.
Duck	30 August 2022, 20:02	I had a bit of trouble seeing it until I realized it was looking over its shoulder.
Stationery knife	30 August 2022, 19:46	Box cutter.
Cat	30 August 2022, 18:10	Let me amend that. It's not so bad in the thumbnail. It was in what somebody called the "victory screen". If you solve in full-screen mode (as I always do, being too old to deal with tiny numbers), upon completion you get a reduced-size picture of the solution. Smaller than the default size, but larger than a thumbnail. That's where I had a problem.
Cat	30 August 2022, 18:05	Unfortunately, when viewed in the thumbnail, the difference between the red and the black becomes negligible, and it looks like the poor creature has five eyes. Otherwise, very amusing.
Elephant	30 August 2022, 2:25	The footprints in the Jell-O were a dead giveaway.
Baby Elephant	30 August 2022, 1:52	Mrs B. still trying to catch her breath. My fault. I should have allowed her to recover from the first joke before reading her the second.
Baby Elephant	30 August 2022, 1:50	It was what? ... a maze of some sort? Until half a dozen pixels before the end when the solution popped.
Guitar	29 August 2022, 18:25	Definitely a key, until it wasn't.
Origami - crane	29 August 2022, 1:20	Very nice, even if I'm not terribly fond of the palette.
Yoshi	29 August 2022, 0:08	I'll show you my age: after I leaned back and stopped trying to make the nostrils eyes, I said, "Wonderful! It's Albert from Pogo." Anybody out there old enough to remember Pogo?
Lavender	28 August 2022, 0:59	I'm really puzzled by most of the comments. I placed my first square incorrectly, but as soon as I fixed that it was plain sailing--done in 13:05. But tedious, only being able to fill in one or two squares at a time. And I didn't find the result very rewarding either. (Still much better than anything I've submitted, which would be ... er, nothing.)
Watermelon	26 August 2022, 19:50	Just what I was about to say.
Corn	26 August 2022, 18:32	Definitely a lizard, until it wasn't.
Looks like APPLE logo	26 August 2022, 18:16	With a couple of mega-bites taken out.
Fishes	24 August 2022, 23:44	So you're saying fin-i?
Woman on Treadmill	24 August 2022, 23:27	That's quite some wind in that gym...
Felix the Cat	24 August 2022, 17:35	Whenever he gets in a fix he reaches into his bag of tricks!
Dove of Peace	23 August 2022, 6:12	You're right. A summer has to continually add swallow after swallow.
Moon Crescent	22 August 2022, 17:57	Very pretty, but it does make one wonder who went to the moon to paint stars on the surface.
Cheese	22 August 2022, 0:45	I was thinking it must have been necessary for the puzzle to have a unique solution.
Boxing glove	20 August 2022, 23:39	Colors too close, numbers too small, and final picture not very well defined. Like loxie, I just gave up. That being said, I want to thank l-master (or is it I-master? Upper case i or lower case L? I hate sans-serif fonts.) for submitting it. It's more than I've ever done.
Dump truck	19 August 2022, 7:19	Till the very end I thought it was a train headed left, with a big black cowcatcher.
On the beach	19 August 2022, 1:25	I look at a picture like this and my first thought is skin cancer; which I modify to "really bad sunburn" followed by it's far too hot anyway.
The ball	18 August 2022, 20:45	The white space made it look like nothing at all until it was finished. Nice work!
Shrek	17 August 2022, 19:19	I recognized it, but I agree the lighter green needed to be less like yellow.
Frying Pan	16 August 2022, 1:26	We've recently been seeing a lot of a commercial in which the bacon strips stand up and dance above the pan, just like this.
Coaxing the Butterfly	15 August 2022, 18:04	Smaller isn't helping me.
Clover	15 August 2022, 6:13	Our back yard was also mostly clover. We'd search and search for four-leafed ones without success. Then my mother would lean out of her chair and pick one. Happened more than once. It was uncanny.
