Well done, Kristen! So recognizable after the recent movie, and a fun solve to boot.

Did you know that Mr. Rogers and his neighbours had their origins in Canada?

I love your choice for the title.

Excellent, Kristen! I enjoyed the solve and the image. Thank you!!

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by fasstar.

Interesting that I also got this source photo from IMDb. (I just did an images search). This shows you which lines I included, and which ones I edited out. Smiles with teeth always look a little bit crazy, in pixel form.

It's a fun challenge, to include shapes that say "this is Mister Rogers," without making the puzzle ridiculously large, and then pick which pixels to add to make it solvable, but still retain the essence of Fred. I think he looked best when I was 2/3 of the way through solving.

Well done. You could see Mr. Rogers forming early on.

Great image and fun solve. Almost positive I only used line logic but I don't see where I can vote that way.
#9: Web Paint-By-Number Robot (webpbn) on Jan 13, 2020
Found to be solvable by line and color logic alone by kristen.
#10: Kristen Vognild (kristen) on Jan 13, 2020 [HINT]
I solved it again, to be certain. At no point did I need to use other than line logic.

I am a Pittsburgher and it's so, so nice seeing such a celebration of our Neighbor on this site. <3 <3 <3

Hooray!

I've finally gotten to the point where I've named enough puzzles that I couldn't remember what this one was. ^_^
#14: David Bouldin (dbouldin) on Nov 30, 2020
I hit that point about a dozen puzzles in

Really a good likeness. It is so well done, that I was sure who it was about 2/3s of the way through.
#17: Bill Eisenmann (Bullet) on Mar 8, 2021 [SPOILER]
Excellent likeness of a wonderful human being. Another wonderful person, my late father, was born on the very same day as Fred.
