Ahahaha! I just realized this is my 101st puzzle! (Really, I didn't do it on purpose!)

This is a rather old one that I just got back to fixing.

great image and great solve
definitely solvable with logic alone, using edge (and i once used internal edge) logic
#3: Liz P (Lizteach) on Aug 17, 2010 [HINT]
Agree totally w/Bugaboo except that I don't remember using internal edge (but that doesn't mean it didn't happen).
#4: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Aug 17, 2010 [HINT]
Thanks. Just edge logic on the 8s in r2 & c1.

Charlie Brown's Snoopy was a beagle rather than a Dalmatian.

In an old book of mine, he referred to Snoopy as "ol' dime-a-dozen". Poor Snoopy.

Lovely. The fact that it's # 101 is way too cool.

And three days in the dreaded question mark appears.

OK, how am I supposed to use edge logic on column 1? So far I have dots in R1C1-R8C1 and R30C1.
#11: Liz P (Lizteach) on Aug 23, 2010 [HINT]
You should be able to put dots all the way down to R18C1.

If you place the topmost pixel of the column of 8 in C1R9 and go down to R16, you will have an invalid solution because it gives you 3, 1, and 1 in rows 8-11, 14, and 16 of C2 and C2 only has a 3 and a 1.
#12: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Aug 23, 2010 [HINT]
I was fairly pleased with the obtuseness of the edge logic on this one. One had to pay close attention to the overlaps since they are ruled out by single-pixel conflicts.

Found to be logically solvable by Gator.

Liz - Sometimes one just stares too long at something. Thanks for pointing out what is now plainly obvious. :)

Nice puzzle Joe.
#15: Teresa K (fasstar) on Aug 25, 2010
Very tricky, but great fun to solve, once I figured out how to get C1.
#16: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Aug 26, 2010
Yes, it's tough in a couple spots... ;)

I'm glad you liked it.

Thanks, Kristen

logically solved. nice
#20: Vaggelis Kamaris (evag7651) on Dec 18, 2013
solved again -by mistake fun time again.
#21: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Dec 19, 2013
Thanks (thanks)!
#22: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Sep 27, 2017
Wonderful.

Cute image.
#24: Kathy Roth (clyde) on Oct 1, 2017
Cute! Hard one.
#25: Peaches (Peaches) on Mar 24, 2018 [SPOILER]
Looks like Snoopy in the very early Charlie Brown/Peanuts books. Boy, I wish I still had those now.
#26: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Mar 24, 2018 [SPOILER]
Snoopy with measles, maybe. Which makes sense, since the vaccine only dates from the early '60s.
