      Thank you - I try to have as much fun cluing as I do constructing.

      There's a lot folks don't know about pigs.
      • JeffsPuzzles constructor · 2025-03-12T16:31:49.275Z
        Indeed - we're big fans of pigs in my house, and not for eating! The more we find out, the more intelligent we realize lots of different animals are. (Wish I could say the same for many people!)

            Loved this! 10 across, I thought, was particularly inspired, and brought a big smile to my face, but 19 across and 2 down also made me chuckle. Fabulous work.
            • JeffsPuzzles constructor · 2025-03-12T23:09:05.454Z
              Thanks so much, Melanie! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

                Great puzzle, but please less eye rolling references to american political stuff
