    The meta wasn't that difficult, but the grid.....I learned a lot !! Tricky, but fair, clues, Caroline. Thanks for your collaboration.
    • woozy 24:29 · 2023-08-28T05:45:39.369Z
      Fun.
      But what's with the oblong size? Will it hel me with Pun of A Kind's "give me five"?
      • HeadinHome 🤓7:01 · 2023-08-28T09:16:04.221Z
        What a pleasure .. Caroline at the keyboard every time please! Anyone who clues ALW with theater rather than baseball has my thanks.
        • Capn Rick 🤓15:40 · 2023-08-28T12:36:46.379Z
          Great father/daughter team effort! Thanks Caroline and Peter for the challenging grid and clever meta.
          • boharr 3s · 2023-08-28T12:29:07.050Z
            Thank you for a fun puzzle with fresh and clever cluing.

              • Hector 3s · 2023-08-28T13:02:26.358Z
                Well clued and conceived, thanks!
                • michaelm 3:19 · 2023-08-28T13:42:32.518Z
                  Thanks Abides! Loved Six in a million? clue and what dad says about HOJO is definitely true (remember it was really good, too).
                  • THC 🤓4:43 · 2023-08-28T14:00:46.896Z
                    Thank you, Peter and Caroline! A really fun puzzle to start my week!
                    • KayW 🤓9:37 · 2023-08-28T14:12:51.179Z
                      A wonderful debut! Really enjoyed the cluing.
                      • TMart 🤓11:57 · 2023-08-28T14:11:02.641Z
                        Nicely done, Abides!

                          loVIng it! You guys knocked it out of the PARK! Easy enough meta to SUIT my low problem solving skills... hope you don't mind me riding on your COATTAILS... I'll see myself out
                          • MatthewL 🤓7:41 · 2023-08-28T14:54:16.090Z
                            Very nice team effort! Hard clues, but fair and gettable. Also, I kinda like the Cats sub-theme running throughout the puzzle (ALW, Macavity, etc.). And, since Mr. Mistoffelees was a tuxedo cat, it all kind of ties together! Thanks for the puzzle.

                                The clues, for me, were easily the highlight. Thanks, Caroline!

                                    Had to reveal the 23D/31A cross (despite being a Mamet fan), and got a bit stuck in that area in general (not knowing 15A didn't help). But overall very impressive cluing! Especially liked 41A, 43A (though it took me forever to fill it in), 10D, 27D, 48D, 54D. And lol'd at 52D. Thanks!
                                    • DrTom 3s · 2023-08-28T16:50:21.955Z
                                      NICE! A meta I can actually solve and one where I learn a lot. The fill was tough for me because of all the "new fangled" stuff (young whippersnappers) but I liked a lot of the clues, I think "Six in a million" may have been one of my favorites, I think you have a META star in the making. I was chastened by the ELOI because indeed (1) I always know what the answer will be (2) I have not read the book (I saw the movie though, does that count?). As for HOJO, it wasn't only ice cream, it was the best clam strips ever! No trip on the PA Turnpike was complete without a stop at Howard Johnson's BEFORE it became a hotel chain!
                                      Nice family project.

                                        I also seem to recall enjoying the salt water taffy at HoJos :)

                                          Great start for a future meta-pro. It provided some respite from other pending meta challenges. 15A brought back some law-of-gravity-defying memories.

                                              Great puzzle, meta, and clues! Nicely done. I don't know if I'll ever get any of my kids to collaborate on a puzzle, but I'll see if I can get any takers when I see them this weekend

                                                Thanks for the puzzle! 1D made me laugh. That’s how I would describe it! 😄

                                                  Oops! I forgot to praise the meta photograph of the two constructors and the photographer in the mirror! Awesome meta-ness!

                                                    Thanks so much, Peter & Caroline (you have a nice touch with your clues!) for both the puzzle and for the aqua and orange trip down memory lane. My experience at that fine dining establishment dates to before it was even called HoJo's.
