Here’s another one from the “write what you know” category. Tabitha has made a quantum leap in her drawing skills. She went from almost Willem de Kooning-esque scribbles to well, still scribbly but now with more clearly defined renderings. I mean, look at the latest picture of yours truly. Bald? check. Glasses? of course. Wearing green? It’s my favorite color so you bet. Is that possibly a beer gut? Maybe, maybe even a bit exaggerated, but okay. Jeans? Naturally. Adidas shell toes? Uh-huh. Amazing detail. If I were holding a puzzle it would be almost indistinguishable from reality.
So where’s the “write what you know” bit, Brendan? Well, each and every, and I mean every, person/animal/some inanimate objects even are drawn with the biggest goofiest smile you’ve ever seen. Like today’s grid. Hopefully it makes you smile too.
Share the puzzle. New one on Thursday.

That was fun. Great puzzle. Thanks. Love the drawing too.
52 down: Constellation with seven ‘planets’? not ‘stars’?
Made me smile except for 10D, as I worked for the latter half of that answer at the time of merger. Remember repeating the clue then. Great puz. Great portrait of BEQ. Thanks.
