Stay Tuned!
◆ · By Capn Rick · Published 4 months ago
Meta Prompt: The meta answer is a famous person.
Hint: I learned a long time ago that if you don't see anything in the grid, look elsewhere for hints to the meta.
Hint: Ever watch the Saturday morning cartoons when you were a kid?
Hint: Four "Looney Tunes" characters are hidden among the clues. To find them you need to "Stay Tuned" from one clue to the next.
Hint: The first letters of the answers associated with both parts of the characters' names spell the meta answer.
Hint: There is a familiar quote in the center of the grid that will confirm your answer.

- Yes, the puzzle printers probably had an edge on this one, Bbaack. Thanks for solving!
- DrTom 11s · 4 months agoFun when I tested it and fun again. Loved all those cartoons as a kid. But then the coyote could still hit the ground, apparently now that is too violent?
