I solved it on paper, and like the look of the across clues just all being one word, streaming down the side of the page. I thought that the theme made up, in a big way, for there being no rebus. MOBILIZED was my favorite, with 29A We (PETITE) and 60A Slight (DEXTERITY) coming in close behind. I'll look for that book.

This puzzle definitely played hard for what is essentially a themeless, if only because each clue across had to be reimagined. It was remarkably difficult. Perhaps this is a sign of an aging brain? I trust not.<br /><br />I second a thumbs down for DRYROTS.Colum Amoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15026647589873845732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7869983234842507044.post-49056544429536876452017-10-12T21:27:46.564-04:002017-10-12T21:27:46.564-04:00Nice review, Franny!

It was more work than play, alas.englishteacher59https://www.blogger.com/profile/16790678319090827125noreply@blogger.com
