Found to be logically solvable by Gator.

I used quite a bit of edge logic for this one. If someone wants it, I can detail it all out.

cute image!

I got stuck and tried all the edge logic I could manage. Then I checked the comments. Since Telly said it was cute, I continued to work on it. The edge logic in the middle was a little too deep for me, and I had to guess. Really nice image though.

Thanks :) it was quite tricky to make.

Yes it is a cute image but very tricky to solve

I had a good time and no guessing!

Good challengig puzzle and cute image. Not easy solving makes it fun.

Fun image and solve!

So, 13+ years later, we can see where the edge logic is. I maybe got lucky. I used the helper a lot.

Helper, then C1-3R1 dots by edge logic to 31%.

R34C5 is a black dot not caught by edge logic.

Bottom row to C14 is a dot. Helper to 33%. C33-35 are dots too by edge logic. 39%.

Helper also doesn't catch C5R13. Get that, 44% with helper.

If C33R12 is black, contradiction C31. 45%.

C35R29-30 being blackdots blocks out the 3 in R26.

Helper doesn't catch C29R30 as a dot. It doesn't catch C27R28 as a black dot either. Now the helper gets all the line logic.
