Themeless "#6.5" (unpublished The Comet puzzle)

◆◆ · By Cory Calhoun

Constructor's Note
This was to have been the 7th themeless puzzle for The Comet, a 21+ arts & entertainment magazine in Wenatchee, WA. (The puzzle is SFW!) Due to COVID, The Comet took most of a year off, and this themeless got lost in the shuffle. Glad to bring it out of mothballs... I'm proud of this one. Enjoy!
