Beethead?
#2: Kurt Kowalczyk (bahabro) on Jan 12, 2013
added hint: last 2 puzzles have the same author....
#3: Kurt Kowalczyk (bahabro) on Jan 12, 2013 [SPOILER]
had a link here to an image as a spoiler to use if you want, but even just reading the link gives it away if you don't want to know....

Duck Soup? Cool image Kurt.:)
#5: Kurt Kowalczyk (bahabro) on Jan 12, 2013 [SPOILER]
thanks Al! not Duck Soup....

ran outta room for the puzzle size...so everything runs together. head and arms holding something, if you look closer....
#6: Tonia Bergh (tonia) on Jan 12, 2013
Atlas Shrugged?
#7: bugaboo (bugaboo) on Jan 12, 2013
semi-extended smile logic to finish
no guessing
#8: Kurt Kowalczyk (bahabro) on Jan 12, 2013 [SPOILER]
atlas shrugged is correct! good going, Tonia!

upper left corner, yep...thanks bug!

Night of the Iguana?

Kurt, Kurt, KURT!!! I really enjoyed solving this puzzle, but you said you weren't going to give any hints for a day...and the one about "the same author" makes the answer simple...don't dooooooo that, please! I love to chew on puzzles, especially hard puzzles...even if I don't get the answer...

...that being said, this image is almost hopeless. Still, you promised no hints for a day.
#12: Kurt Kowalczyk (bahabro) on Jan 12, 2013
yeah yeah...sorry. all those comments you read came in like a 3 hour period. hints were given before new rule made. I'll stick to it, I promise... luv to have you solving and guessing and commenting, JoDeen! maybe I can do better with the next one, huh? ;)

I found the image to be pretty clear, and a darn good likeness, based on the link! I guessed it was Atlas Shrugged, too. :)
#15: Kurt Kowalczyk (bahabro) on Jan 20, 2013
thanks, K! :)
#16: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Jun 6, 2013
Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by infrapinklizzard.
#17: Bruce Yanoshek (yanogator) on Nov 27, 2018
I was able to do it entirely with line logic. I thought I was going to have to use smile logic in the upper left, but then I didn't.
#18: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Nov 27, 2018
There is definitely no way to solve this with only line logic. You must look at more than one line/column at the same time.
#19: Meg Smith (mamadragonfreak) on Dec 9, 2019
i solved it with only line logic
#20: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Dec 9, 2019
I just resolved this just out of curiosity after reading Meg's comment. I too solved it easily using only line logic. :)
