    Welcome back Clark! Thanks for a most fun and well done puzzle.
    • Darth 🤓13:02 · 2024-04-15T13:02:06.660Z
      Lol. That was fun. Don't worry about what people say, Clark. You still have it! =)
      • Hector 3s · 2024-04-15T13:13:32.205Z
        Very nice; thanks!
        • boharr 3s · 2024-04-15T13:12:58.601Z
          Hey Clark.
          • Bird Lives 4s · 2024-04-15T13:56:42.412Z
            Nice one -- money parted by black squares. Loved the intro. If there are Easter Eggs, I missed them all except maybe those Canadians with their Loonie Toons money.
            • MatthewL 🤓9:47 · 2024-04-15T14:11:16.084Z
              Fun one, Clark. Welcome back!
              • Ergcat 17:59 · 2024-04-15T15:15:04.271Z
                A fine puzzle, Clark! Nice start to the meta week!
                • Carolyn 2s · 2024-04-15T15:45:07.998Z
                  Lots of fun on tax day! Greatly appreciated
                  • ajk 🤓7:13 · 2024-04-15T16:31:30.639Z
                    Very nice. Spent some time staring at the long acrosses, then the collection of two-word entries. Finally spotted RIC/HES and then it fell quickly. Fun stuff as always, thanks.

                      Clark, Clark, Clark. A grown-17A man living in Mom’s basement might need to find a way to contribute some 70A-71A to the family budget. You’re giving these perfectly good puzzles away for 4D??

                        Nice one, Clark! I had this on the left side of my 32" monitor and was looking at a window on the right side. I saw "PROFIT" out of the corner of my eye when I wasn't even looking.
                        • Tyrpmom 🤓20:11 · 2024-04-15T19:33:35.337Z
                          Nice. It all went together so well. Or, maybe apart so well.
                          • Wendy Walker 3s · 2024-04-15T20:07:49.727Z
                            Happy April 15, Clark, and thanks for the puzzle! Well done with those stacks of 3-letter entries.
                            • Qmark 3s · 2024-04-16T00:15:49.216Z
                              Great construction...very fun aha moment!
                              • whimsy 🤓13:25 · 2024-04-16T00:03:39.502Z
                                THE ENT right down the middle got me to look at DOR EMI. What a lark, Clark! Thanks a million!
                                • DrTom 🤓17:38 · 2024-04-16T03:44:40.083Z
                                  I tried sooo hard to make LIN DOTED RADAR = LIRA but coul dnot figure out what to do with the NDOTED, thank God there was not a EUNICE and ROBERT.
                                  Thanks "Clark" for the puzzle, hope the move to the first! floor goes well

                                    Hey Clark! Where ya' been, man? Glad to have you back!

                                      Welcome back Clark! In addition to Wendy's birthday tribute, seems like Mike Shenk's February 16 "Knowledge Base" was also created with you and your (imaginary) friends in mind. Did you solve that one? Thanks for the abundance of humor and skill!

                                        Thanks, Clark - onward and upward (from the basement)

                                          I didn’t even know Dilbert was a thing after, like, 2003 or so. Fun puzzle!
