Biathlete	17 January 2022, 19:40	Roger Moore. Sorry--make that SIR Roger Moore.
Sparrow	16 January 2022, 21:01	I think you mean row 5. But whether 5 or 6, it has to be the lower right corner of the rectangle because of its relation to the light blue.
Crab	15 January 2022, 19:59	I have a headache now from trying to tell color #1 from color #2.
Lady	15 January 2022, 19:44	Not wild about looking up her nose.
Winter	15 January 2022, 19:18	I was thinking two buildings, but couldn't figure out what the floating brown rectangle was supposed to be. But then I shrank it and everything became clear. Nice!
Flower	15 January 2022, 7:53	Who was the great-uncle of a friend of mine. (I know you were dying to know that.)
The male	15 January 2022, 0:20	Looks like it to me.
Telephone	15 January 2022, 0:12	And they never broke, and even if they did they'd get replaced for free. We moved while I was 5, so I can remember from 5 on, though not before. Although I do remember that our exchange was FIeldstone, and after the move it was TEnnyson. So much more personality than these crappy all-numeric ones.
Dancing	14 January 2022, 23:23	I saw someone overacting "Alas! Woe is me!"

Car	5 January 2022, 20:30	Recipe for disaster. When touring with my college glee club back in the days when the world was enormously more peaceful, we took a bus from Pakistan to Afghanistan via the Khyber Pass. The very narrow road twisted through the mountains without (as I remember) guard rails of any sort. The border was somewhere along that road. In Pakistan they drive on the left; in Afghanistan on the right. The driver, we were told, had never been outside Pakistan before, so he had trouble staying on the right. On the narrow, twisty, unguarded road with unknown opposing traffic coming blindly round the next twist. Obviously, we survived.

Old TV	4 January 2022, 5:34	I've seen a T-shirt that sums it up perfectly. It reads something like this: "I'm at that age where my mind says I'm 29, my sense of humor says I'm 12, and my body says 'Are you sure you're not dead?' "
Old TV	4 January 2022, 5:32	I remember when shows were changing over to color one by one. Even on our b&w you could see the difference.

Mallard Duck	3 January 2022, 22:41	Right!
Lion	2 January 2022, 21:48	I wondered for quite a while whether it would turn out to be a sheep or a monkey...
French bulldog	2 January 2022, 8:22	I was getting Boston Terrier; but then I'm not acquainted with the French Bulldog, so I can't be trusted to judge.

Dance of the cranes at sunset	7 December 2021, 21:00	Lovely and evocative.

The cat and the bird in the cage	7 December 2021, 7:19	I was sure the main object was a mouse. The reality is much better.
Pinguin	3 December 2021, 19:34	I could spend days working my Grammar Police badge, true. It was just the moment; that, and it stood out because your writing is always so elegant.
Flowers in the sun	3 December 2021, 1:25	My opinion: the flowers and the pot should have been different colors. However, that's all it is--my opinion. And such a minor detail does not take away from an impressive first puzzle.
Cute Mouse	2 December 2021, 19:49	TNG has such all-powerful nonogrammatic skill it's like she's the tsar of puzzling. Or is that "all-powerful punning skill"?
Put the fun between your legs	1 December 2021, 19:23	The title's the best part. :)
Ostrich	1 December 2021, 18:48	The site doesn't think. Ratings are derived from the users' assessments. For a brand new puzzle, the site does assign a standard value (and 2.5 sounds about right) and probably doesn't change it until X number of solvers have rated it. sounds much more authoritative than he has a right to be

Pinguin	1 December 2021, 7:31	its
Smiling Television	30 November 2021, 17:45	Antenna that had to be adjusted if someone entered the room. Dials you had to get out of your seat to change. Only ~3 programs you had to select from. Beginning and end to the broadcast day. Those were the good old days.
Knight	30 November 2021, 7:56	One of the best I've seen on this subject.
Giant octopus	30 November 2021, 1:55	I think that ship is going to have some difficulty in raising that chain!
Miner	28 November 2021, 1:04	From Google: шахтер (pronounced "shakhter") = miner
Microscope	23 November 2021, 18:24	I thought this was the subject early on. But a few more clicks--no, obviously not. A few more--maybe it is after all. A few more... I don't know how many times I went back and forth. Nice challenge.
Palette	23 November 2021, 0:38	Who took a bite out of the phone dial, I thought. True answer much beetter.
Chess knight	22 November 2021, 18:04	I have solved many, many puzzles with this subject. This may well be the most beautiful of them.
Rat	22 November 2021, 9:03	With spurs?
Mermaid	22 November 2021, 1:34	It took me a moment to let go of the idea that that was a handle on the left.
Pig	21 November 2021, 6:45	Boring. If it's this big, there better be lots of detail that couldn't have been achieved in a smaller size.
