thanks

Polar bear. I am terrible with smile logic, Brian. I never know if it is guessing. My solve was quick and totally based on smile logic. Fun puzzle. Thanks for creating it!
#3: bugaboo (bugaboo) on Dec 31, 2012 [HINT]
after initial ll:

el the 7 clue in r13 to dot c5-7
ll to finish
no smile logic
no guessing

My solve was exactly the same as bugaboo's. Thanks, Brian.
#5: Kurt Kowalczyk (bahabro) on Dec 31, 2012
nice puzzle, Brian!

Good one Brian.:)

At first I had the 1's in C7 and C15 blotted, but I couldn't use smile logic to solve it. The checker said the solution was unique but I still had to unblot so that it was solvable.

Blots plus edge logic - yikes! Nice challenge. I finally saw the image, and that was a nice reward for my brain. :-)

At first I was wondering why all the empty space. Then when the image appeared, I thought riiiight! Good one.

Thanks. When I first saw this on a napkin it was upside down and my little brain couldn't put it together. Turned it around and POP!

Very Nice!
#12: Brian Bellis (mootpoint) on Jan 2, 2013
Thank you.

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by infrapinklizzard.
#14: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Apr 26, 2014 [HINT]
After line logic, edge logic on the 7 in r13 makes c5-7 white (the 7 cannot touch the 1 in c7 without conflicting with the 3 clue in r12).

Then LL to finish

#15: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Apr 26, 2014 [SPOILER]
Ah, so the same as bugaboo's.

Polar bears are cute in the abstract; not so much in the concrete. (plus they leave pawprints)

Not rewarding to solve.
#17: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Feb 26, 2020
But it is refreshing!

I didn't enjoy solving this one so much, but like the image a lot!
