Puzzle Description:
...By Stan, his pet tortoise, who also wanted to come.
#1: Ga Hendrick (GaHendrick) on Apr 28, 2009 [SPOILER]
That is quite a pet - Stan must have great stamina. The puzzle made me smile. Thanks.#2: Meg Tayler (rebelcat) on Apr 28, 2009
Cute! :-)#3: Jan Wolter (jan) on Apr 28, 2009 [SPOILER]
Very cute.#4: Jota (jota) on Apr 28, 2009
But I'm guessing that you started out to draw Peter's dog or some such, and it turned into a turtle by accident.
If so, it's a happy accident. I knew at first glance that it was a turtle climbing a hill, and with a small puzzle size like this, it's no small trick to make such an odd subject so recognizable.
Poor thing! I don't think he'll get there in time for the picnic.#5: Naomi Millar (sailormewtwo) on Apr 29, 2009 [SPOILER]
It really does look like a turtle :D#6: BlackCat (BlackCat) on Apr 29, 2009
Very cute and unexpected.#7: Twillis (twillis) on Apr 29, 2009
Very impressed how much character you packed into a small space, thank you, that was fun.#8: JoDeen Mozena (ozymoe) on Apr 29, 2009 [SPOILER]
I love this...but don't you think it's the classic "tortoise and the hare"?#9: Agneta (aggge) on Apr 29, 2009 [SPOILER]
Lol...I never look at the explanation until I guess what it might be first. With the title I assumed the author was being clever with Peter (a rabbit or hare) being followed by the plodding and ultimately victorious tortoise!
A gem of a small puzzle...although the decimist in me doesn't usually like the puzzles with "odd numbers" such as 9x14.
:o)#10: Byrdie (byrdie) on Apr 29, 2009
#3, I actually wanted to make a very small human, but it turned into a turtle, so I decided to make Peter in a bigger one.
Ditto #3. I recognized it imediately and smiled.#11: Teresa K (fasstar) on May 2, 2009
Really cute puzzle. :-)#12: Jen (LightVader) on May 24, 2009 [SPOILER]
I can see a person. I think if you change the horizontal row of 9 to a row of 8 and maybe the horizontal 4,3 to a 4,2, it would be a person.#13: Jane Doe (telly) on Jun 11, 2009
fun. :)#14: larrry grizzard (gizzard) on Sep 8, 2011
Maybe he's slow on purpose because Peter's serving turtle soup.#15: Susan Nagy (susannagy54) on May 3, 2014
It is all uphill for Stan.#16: Bill Eisenmann (Bullet) on Feb 23, 2018
Okay, it's been 9 years ... think he's made it there yet?#17: David Bouldin (dbouldin) on Apr 23, 2020
If not after 9 maybe now? Next Tuesday will be 11 years :P#18: Jota (jota) on Apr 23, 2020
LOL#19: Valerie Mates (valerie) on Nov 25, 2021
JoDeen - I like the word "decimist." I think there are lots of them here!
