That’s a great theme that gave me a laugh. Wonderful puzzle. The puzzle itself is pretty great, with some stumbling blocks unusual for a Monday puzzle but otherwise smoothly sailing.
This week will have a lot of puzzles that are harder than their normal days. I suggest you think about Day+1 timing roughly.
Great theme.
Very clever.
A bit hard for a Monday, but very cute.
