Lio by Mark Tatulli for June 05, 2024

Turbo catnip? whoah… that’s a sure recipe for trouble ahead…

1 Down is SCUBA

I get this strip as representing Sybil’s visions.

I am puzzled.

Forgot to label the squares for 12 across and 13 down.

Love Sybil’s face there.

If you want to know more about this puzzle, you’ll have to wait for a clue. [So far the puzzle itself hasn’t got a (single) clue.]

Outta my way, I need to get to the Wordle.

This looks cryptic.

Hmm. A crossword puzzle that’s also a QR code?

Answers to 2 and 15 down: “LIO!”

Killjoys are everywhere!

And I thought the black squares would resemble one of the ‘space invaders’

But up to this point? Anything goes!

Oh mannn!

It Is symmetrical to a NE to SW line…

No comic strip silliness?? We want our silliness!!

Cybill is very disappointed. She’s all turboed up and ready to go.

Well, 12 across must be Lio, 9 across Tatulli, the rest I don’t know (don’t know how Sybils name is spelled or what the Squid is called.

Well, I hope a certain cat, no names, rips this word puzzle to shreds.

“Well. heck. Who leased our strip to Will Shortz?”
