Puzzle Description:

I always thought Mr. Potato Head kind of looked like Stalin.

#1: Ellen Vollor (evollor) on Mar 28, 2014

Very good. I always thought so, too. I just never put the words together. Nice imagination.
#2: Tonia Bergh (tonia) on Mar 28, 2014
Never thought of that, but now that you mention it...
Great puzzle!
#3: BlackCat (BlackCat) on Mar 28, 2014
Yeah. I never thought of it either. It was a fun solve and a surprising image.
#4: Norma Dee (norm0908) on Mar 28, 2014
Great, fun solve.

I don't know this character but I think Snowball was allegory of Stalin in Orwell's Animal Farm, too.

When I got to a bit of a standstill (after a lot of EL with some moderately deeper lookahead to place 6 dots of each of the edge 8s), I realized the intersection of the 21 in C8 with the 3 in R9 (and likewise on the right side, as well) means the 3 has to either go out to the left or right of the 21 column, and then go up. If the 21 also goes up, it will violate the 1s in R8. So R9 has to be the end of the 21 in C8.
