Nice solve and image. I was leaning towards marking moderate lookahead, as I solved all the bottom half, but the top half didn't quite click. I think I did the arithmetic on each remaining row and column to check there were no black dots/white spaces to fill in, but I'd rather have someone else verify it. For instance, I found R12C16 had an empty space, and since it wasn't fully at an edge, I was a bit worried other places had it.

I used edge logic on the top row--C4/5/6/7 cannot be a black dot as otherwise R2 would have a 3. Placing the 5 at 16-20 places the 5 in row 3 at 21-25, which gets a contradiction. Then line logic.

Wacky but beautiful image, hilarious punchline, tricky but fairly steady solve.

I got stuck in the top section, but IEL allowed me to put a dot on R12C9 and the rest flowed from there. It was the only part where I used any kind of lookahead.

My solve was exactly like Michael's solve.

Fun solve, funny picture and joke :P

I *tried* to get it LLS, but in the end I decided to leave the bit of edge logic at the top, for the sake of the image.

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by gator.

It's probably my favorite "what do you get when you cross ..." jokes.
