      Lovely grid! Really appreciated the theme - only caught it towards the end, but it helped plug in some gaps and brought a smile :-)

        Great puzzle. Loved the themers, especially MONSTERSINC! Thank you for posting.

          As a musician, I loved to see so many music-related clues and entries! VALERO/EMACS kept me from completing it on my own. And I'm not sure if there's something to the starred entries that I didn't quite catch onto...
          • Ernie constructor · 2021-11-25T16:11:15.664Z
            I'm a musician too! So the themed clues were worded so that they fit with both the full word (e.g. CONSTANTINE) and the 'music piece' (e.g. Constant in E). Thus, Continuous (Constant) Con Man (Constantine) Continuo (type of music piece).

              Aha, thank you! I never made the leap to reading the last three letters as IN + [Key]. Very clever and definitely makes more sense now! :)
