Nice one Jake - I couldn't get SPRAT but I enjoyed working my way through this! Loved some of the clues for the longer entries, like ESCAPEROOMS

Fun puzzle! Nice work stacking the 11-letter answers

It's harder to solve when you read 'Mesoamerica' as 'Mesopotamia'. 🙄

EAGERBEAVER was a fun one, and I liked OOZIE. At first I wasn't sure why you mentioned and uzi, and then I got it! clever

Cartoons Not For Kids - my first crack at a meta puzzle

In a good way, I hope. Please let me know if you think the clue didn't quite match up. :)

I understood it eventually. It was a good challenge.

Tricky one for me! But fun to try to work my way through :)

Thanks, Mike! I think there are a couple of clues that need an edit. 😬 I just sent an email asking about post-publication edits. Hopefully fixing the typos will make it a bit more fluid.

Themeless (like, so many little inadvertent themes that there clearly is no theme)

Nice one Jake - I liked the clue for MAEBY!

Sure! 38D asks in archaic terms for Robert Burns’s birthplace. Burns was born in Alloway, AYR, Scotland. Alloway is a village that has long essentially been part of the adjacent & principal settlement (city), AYR. Alloway was incorporated into the Royal Burgh of AYR in 1935.

Nice one! I had a learning experience on 9 down Re. Oysterhead. I'm an old (yeah) Grateful Dead head and really love Phish, but so far Oysterhead has gone under my radar, thanks for that. One small note, on 37 down, "Sucessor" is missing a "c" 🤐 🙊 😀 Thanks for a great puzzle!

Thanks, Kent! I'm sure you are going to dig Oysterhead. I had a lot of fun seeing the Dead and Phish over the years, but have not seen Oysterhead live. That would be just a killer show. And thanks for the note; I am new to construction and am happy to receive all feedback!

I had never heard of a TAYRA but it made for some good Wikipedia reading! Nice puzzle!

Nice one Jake! I struggled with some of the unchecked squares but really liked all of the cluing!
