Puzzle Description:

Sort of cartoonish, but tough to make someone semi-recognizable on a 20x

Shel Silverstein?

No guessing on the puzzle; only on the subject. :)

it is clearly charles dickens
did i know that from the title originally? no
i googled "200th birthday" and charles dickens' name popped up
then i looked back at the title and saw the "cd" and knew it was in fact him

it looks like shakespeare too

i also thought it was aldege but the guy in the puzzle has too much hair and is definitely younger than aldege too
haha

EXCELLENT solve
no guessing

Thanks, Kristen & Bugaboo. I didn't see Shel, but definitely saw Shakespeare or Aldege ;)

I wish i was that good looking,lol. Your right bug,he has more hair and he looks younger than me which is amazing for someone who is 200 yrs old. Great job Tom,nice image.:)

I interpreted it as happy 200th compact disc, so I tried to think of someone with a beard who might possibly be in entertainment. Silverstein was a stretch, I know.

Found to be logically solvable by gator.

Great solve.

Wow. Very challenging but satisfying solve. You really needed to ID him in the description. But otherwise great puzzle. :-)

Bugaboo, you are so funny.

I was, like Kristen, trying to think of someone who might have issued a 200th compact disc. A tiny change to the title would make it clearer "Happy 200th, CD" - adding not even one letter, but just a comma.

Good suggestion, John.

I saw who it was even though it's been a while since his 200th. I liked the solve and the image. I guess I've seen enough book covers with Dickens and his goatee on them it came to mind immediately.
