Cryptic 7x7 #1 by tuber

◆ · By tuber · Published 2022-03-13T12:14:08.134Z

Some very intentional grid-filling here in order to put a lot of tuber-references into the clues. This was in (pitiful) homage to the Guardian's mighty Boatman.

      I was being cruel there. EIGHT, being 2 to the power 3, is the cube of two.
