Puzzle Description:

The expression says it all.

Only one tricky bit in this one.

Line and color logic leaves a rectangle c7r6 to c19r11 unsolved except for two green squares in the upper right.
Also r15 c9,15,16,17&19 are still blank.

c7 & c9 must have only one in each; c8 has one 2.
As all row clues are >1, one clue must start in c7 and continue into c8 (at least). A second clue must start in c8 and continue into c9 to fill out the vertical 2 clue in c8. Only one of those clues must reach c9 since there is only a 1 in that column.
Therefore the only clue that can start in column 7 is the 2 in r11. (In other words, starting with a horizontal 3 in c7 will give a vertical 2 in both c8 & c9, which c9 can't have.)

I solved the right side first (it looked like it was going to be one of the face cards from a deck of playing cards).

I didn't find it that hard. After I had solved most of it except for basically the black in the upper/left portion (the diagonal line of his face) I used simple edge logic on the 3s in columns 6-8 and it solved easily.

I had to sit and think about what this was after I was done. Then I saw the person's face, with his long face, blue spectacles perched on his nose with long hair and long whiskers.

Fun solve.

Found to be logically solvable by jan.

I thought for a long time that this was going to be the Titanic, but after I read the description the face "popped." I love it -- the expression does say it all!

I went right where Adam did, saw the same, solved the same. FUN!

Whatever it is, I don't see it.

I know that woman! Used to work with her. Thankfully, no more. :-)

Fun solve.

It's never fun to work for a woman with a beard that long.

:-D Okay, so the image is supposed to be a king. But this woman really did look like this. She had saggy chin wattle lines.

a ha! I did have to read some of the entries to see the picture for what it was, but I thought it was a logically solve. Not too difficult, but cute pic.
