line/color logic solves all but the very last of the red 1s on the right and bottom areas

using the clues from the column clues (c8-12) there are 5 remaining red 1 clues and there are only those 5 columns in which to place them between r17-18 so there is only one way to place those 1 clues to satisfy both r17-18 and c8-12 (you can use summing) but no matter what, the small square in r17-18c16-17 must be dots and it solves out

you could do the same type of logic using the 1 clues from r7,9-13c16-17 to make that same square in r17-18c16-17 dots and it solves out

alternating smile logic or summing (call it what you want)

no guessing

That was a fun challenge. It took some careful thought to figure out. Clever title/description.

If I had a hammer
I'd hammer my thumb in the mor-or-ning
I'd hammer it in the evening
All over this ha-and

Nice mixture of blood and cusswords turning the air red and blue.

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by blurglecruncheon.
