And do they go well with butter ;)#2: bugaboo (bugaboo) on Dec 11, 2011 [SPOILER]
ahhh its a crab/lobster (in the negative space) looking down and to the left and the title refers to its claws#3: Tom King (sgusa) on Dec 11, 2011 [SPOILER]
now i see it but at first i didnt see anything more than a mess
nice one
Thanks, Bug. Not a crab...#4: Michelle Jones (lizzieb4041) on Dec 11, 2011 [SPOILER]
I knew it was a lobster when I read the title. I grew up in Westport MA where there are lots of lobster fishermen and knew that bit of trivia. Fun puzzle!#5: Tom King (sgusa) on Dec 11, 2011 [SPOILER]
The best part of a "lobeye" is the knuckle joint...yummm It's the joint just down from the claw.#6: Aldege Cholette (aldege) on Dec 12, 2011 [SPOILER]
Great image Tom,i saw it right away,very well done. I don't care for lobster,not enough flavour for the work involved. I know everyone says i'm weird cause i don't like lobster.:)#7: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Dec 12, 2011 [SPOILER]
I love negative image puzzles!#8: David Bouldin (dbouldin) on Dec 12, 2011
When I played Lord of the Rings Online (news flash: Kristen is a nerd), I was in a guild with a bunch of guys from Maine. They were all complete goofballs, so I called them the Mainecompoops. :)
Terrific image, thanks for the puzzle, Tom...and thanks for the news flash Kristen ;)#9: Tom King (sgusa) on Dec 12, 2011
Thanks everyone. It was fun to create.#10: Tom King (sgusa) on Dec 12, 2011 [SPOILER]
Bugaboo: Lobsters are called "bugs" in Maine ;0 Aldege, the Pilgrims and Indians of New England didn;t eat them. They used them as fertilizer.#11: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Dec 13, 2011 [SPOILER]
Crawfish (essentially mini lobsters) are also called Mudbugs. :)#12: David Bouldin (dbouldin) on Dec 13, 2011 [SPOILER]
I miss living in Louisiana...I used to know how to make an outstanding etouffee.#13: Jota (jota) on Dec 14, 2011 [SPOILER]
Maine lobsters are the sweetest of them all! Loved the puzzle and the comments!#14: Tom King (sgusa) on Dec 16, 2011 [SPOILER]
Jota: Need a job? You should go to work for the Maine Lobsterman's Association ;)#15: Jota (jota) on Dec 20, 2011 [SPOILER]
I wish I could but I would eat all the lobsters and get fired !#16: Bruce Yanoshek (yanogator) on Oct 12, 2022
That was a fun solve - LOTS of back-and-forth, which I love, then an image that took a second to pop in. SO recognizable!#17: Jill Tallmer (Yidl) on Apr 13, 2023
Excellent solve and image
