Day two of "Gotta JET" (Jeff's expressions of thanks)! Is there a way to arrange black squares to form a SQUEE! emoji? If so, I would have placed one dead center in my comments today because those bow ties are sooo cute!
I've made many grid art puzzles over the years and even had the same train of thought as Michele (stemming from Bruce's bat and kite puzzles), but bow ties never occurred to me. Yes, they are tilted 45 degrees to the side, but such imperfection brings personality to these iconic characters.
I'm thankful to have experienced so much wonderful grid art and other visual imagery over the years. Thank you to all the constructors for bringing their aesthetic eye to the forefront of their creations. As many have said, art is what makes us human. It's what separates us from the animals.
Given my engineering and science-focused background, more humanity is something I've sorely needed throughout my entire life. Crosswords have helped me make gains here, but I know I still have a long way to go. Thank goodness there will be many more thousands of crosswords to come!
