Puzzle Description:

Leak and Leek. Everyone knows that onions can make you cry, because of the sulfoxides that are released when an onion is cut open. Leeks and other similar vegetables release sulfoxides, but to a lesser degree.

Why do onions make you cry?

Great puzzle. Tricky to get started, but worth it. I thought he had a runny nose (I solved the left side first).

Thanks, Adam.

I thought the right part was a hose spraying but I knew that the guy was crying... I just didn't get that he was leaking. ;o lol

Yeah, I couldn't do the other kind of leak. :-)

I thought he was holding a lightsabre for a while until the rest came together. Good image that looks good enough to eat!
