Some EL on the bottom blanks R20 C1-3, and then some 2-level EL on the bottom also blanks R20 C18-20. From there you can see that no matter which side the 6 on the bottom is on, the 4 clue on R19 has to wind up with a black in R19C11.

EL at the top blanks R1 C1-3 and C17-20. Regardless of where the rest of the 8 on the top goes, R2C8 is blank.

The rest of this solves with line & color logic.

Hey Kurt buddy. Nice image. Good to hear from you again. Hope all is well with you. Did you hear we had another girl? Her name is Paytyn-Janyne Gabryelle. Heavy on the french accent. Hope we get more puzzles from you uncle Kurt. :)

Heavy on the "Y"'s again, I see... :) Good for you, buddy! Im glad :) Congrats! And thank you, Teresa! good to hear from you once more :) Hope all is well for you both!

thanks for the hint, wombat! truth is, there are several ways to solve this one, and lots to see. esp those sneaky dots...el is inevitable though. it's on all 4 sides. if you play the el on multiple sides, you can place that 6 in the bottom row completely. I know you enjoyed this puzzle, and I'm glad for it! :)

So nice to see a bahabro puzzle. I had accidental help. I made an error which activated the red dot and gave me a good placement clue.

#10: Glenn Crider (playamonkey) on Sep 26, 2016

Very cute and fun solve.

#11: Kathy Cain (kathycain) on Sep 26, 2016

I've missed you Kurt.

#12: Jane Butcher (jane-o) on Sep 26, 2016

I think it's the Pillsbury Dough Boy's baby. I loved it. Thanks.

#13: Thomas Genuine (Genuine) on Sep 27, 2016

Hi Kurt!

#14: Carol Brand (KarylAnn) on Sep 27, 2016

Thanks Kurt! Very fun solve. I agree with Teresa and Jane as it's resemblance to the Pillsbury Dough Boy.

#15: Jota (jota) on Sep 27, 2016

Lovely and so fluffy! Loved the solve! Thanks!

#16: Kurt Kowalczyk (bahabro) on Sep 27, 2016

It looks like someone stumbled into the DalÃ Watch Factory

#18: Linda Martin (ilovethispuzzle123) on Sep 30, 2016

enjoyed it immensely.

#19: Joe (infrapinklizzard) on Dec 4, 2016 [HINT]

I started like wombat, but did deep edge logic on the 6 in r20: if it crossed either 4 in c13 or c17 it would create a block of one in r18 causing a conflict. Thus the 6 must be in the left section.

Then LL to finish.

#20: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Dec 4, 2016

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by infrapinklizzard.
