Cute! I thought maybe Elliot was dresses as Frankie while he took ET for a ride.

after initial line logic you can use edge logic on the 9 clue in r1 (all you really need is to get the 3 dots in c1-3) and then line logic solves all but the very last bit of the bird where smile logic finishes this out
no guessing

well there was guessing for me (because i had to "guess" as to what i was looking at)

i see frankenstein in the back with what i guess is the count in front of him (with floppy ears that look like they belong to goofy) but what is that large white wing-looking thing in front of him? his cape over his face?
#6: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Oct 21, 2011 [SPOILER]
My guess is that it's his cape, and your "ears" are the collar of his cape.

Bug,where is your vision and or imagination?,Kristen had no problem seeing it,or is it that you just like everything explained to you. My guess is you just like messing with me.lol.:)

Good puzzle, but I just wanna let you know that Frankenstein is the doctor who created the monster, the monster actually has no name, he's just "The Monster" or "Frankenstein's Monster"
#18: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on Oct 23, 2011
Thx John,yes i knew that,but let's face it,it's more fun this way.:)
#19: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Oct 23, 2011 [SPOILER]
John, when I go to the vet with my pets, they are recorded as "Rhino C----", Raven "C----", and "Basket C----", even though I only named them Rhino, Raven, and Basket. (OK, someone else named him Basket, but I call him that.)

The point being that if enough other people call something by a common name, that name *becomes* it's name. At least when referring to it. So when someone refers to Frankenstein's monster as Frankenstein, everyone knows who's who. And according to my vet, he *is* "--- Frankenstein".
#20: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on Oct 24, 2011
Thx Joe for telling John in a nice way,just how things are.:)
#21: Tom O'Connell (sensei69) on Oct 24, 2011
Joe...your such a nice lizzard
#22: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Oct 24, 2011
Sometimes he gets the name Victor, though. ;)

Another 2 cents coming in: Abraham Lincoln liked to say "if you call a lamb's tail a leg, how many legs does it have? Four. Calling it a leg doesn't make it a leg." Part of the creature's angst came from the fact that his father (the good doctor, Victor Frankenstein) did not give him a name. Another aspect of Shelley's novel is the idea that the creature was not the monster, but rather that the doctor was the truly monstrous one, giving life to the creature, and then abandoning him to a life of cruel mistreatment at the hands of the misunderstanding people he encountered. Hollywood has missed these points obviously, but they were key to Shelley and her husband, who sympathized with Lucifer's character in Paradise Lost. But enough of the English Lit seminar. Time to get back to puzzlin'!

hollywood made many millions of bucks, does that count any larrrrrry?

What the masses will spend their money on used to amaze me, Tom, now it just amuses me.
