      Very nice! I liked 1A and 5A especially.

        Delightful! I have a personal peeve with seemingly random proper names like "Otis" in 4A, but it's perfectly fine. 2D is more ambiguous than I'd like with that "some" and I think there are some shared parts of the clue to make the definition work, but it's humorously ambitious. Everything else is great, except for 5A, which is brilliant.

          Nice! I like the use of “closer” for 4A
