Excellent!

I love it.

Great play on a previous puzzle (#30306). I can't wait to see what the next two will be.

Is this solvable without guessing? I solved it easily by applying a form a smile logic - more akin to smile "intuition" - but I am not sure if that is valid. Any smart people here?

All three of these puzzles are tough and may require some moderate to deep look ahead. I hope I haven't made guessing puzzles.

EL R20 places 2 of the squares. LL.
EL C19 can fully place the 5. (I know you don't have C20 solved yet but since those are all 2 and 1 clues, it's doable.) LL.
EL C26 can eliminate everything below the existing 3 that you've placed, and then EL25 can help you determine that the black in R16C25 is part of the 3 clue. LL.
EL C26 again eliminates R8C26.

Line logic solves from there.

Too deep for me, but fun anyway. Love your sense of humor.
#9: JoDeen Mozena (ozymoe) on Oct 12, 2017 [HINT]
I did not have to guess. I did it by some using edge logic on both the rightmost and the leftmost columns.

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by gator.
