Shout out to my man Liam Runnalls of down under for the inspiration for this here puzzle. He a puzzle maker/cartoonist down in Australia, and in case you didn't know, their crosswords are all cryptics. FWIW, I find their puzzles spiritually closer to North American cryptics than the vast majority of the UK market. But I digress. Liam leans heavily into the gimmick that gave me the idea for today's offering. So thank you, sir. Add another beer to the list of ones I owe you when we eventually meet.
LAST CALLno obligation to tip. Have fun with the puzzles. However, if the puzzles have brightened up your life, and you're financially able, please chip in. A suggested donation of $15, please and thank you. PayPal or Venmo (@TheBEQ) preferred. But I take everything, including crypto, just email me
Like we always do during these drives, everyone who chips in will get two bonus BEQ puzzles. Two Sunday-sized, one themed, one themeless, so it's a super-sized BEQ week as a thank you. And one randomly selected donor will get a book of mine, so there's that. Thank you all ahead of time.
