Puzzle Description:

Sweeney Todd, the Demon Barber of Fleet Street with his razor. Would you like a shave and a haircut?

I almost abandoned this project after seeing Nancy's vastly superior puzzle #2129, but what the heck. I had originally intended to do some red highlights, but the puzzle was already too easy because of all the big areas of black, and adding red as well would have just made it easier. Anyway, with Todd, red is implied.

This is kind of too obvious a Todd.

By the way, would you go to a guy who's hair looks like this for a haircut?

Don't you remember the old logic puzzle about how to choose a barber when there are only two? The one with the nice hair is the bad barber because the other man cuts the first one's hair and does a very nice job. And the second one has the bad haircut from the first barber.

Nice puzzle- thanks!

I got most of the hair first and was trying to think of which composer was named Todd.

lol

Ditto #8... or more rather, "how does Todd fit with Beethoven?"

I saw Einstein for a second before I got the face, then I sat back and saw Sweeney. :) I know about him just cause I'm a huge sucker for musicals.

I thought this was John Belushi doing stand-up comedy! Very fun solve; thanks.
