Puzzle Description:

Had he known about Mrs. Dithers, he never would have moved there. She spends her waking hours watching her neighbors from her kitchen window, and then reporting to the landlord all of the "infractions" she sees. He's only been living here for about a year and already he's received 3 complaints: one for "harboring a vicious animal", one for "terrorizing her cat", Sylvester (pictured here), and the most ridiculous one of all: "cooking too loudly". Needless to say, he won't be renewing his lease.

Totally WOW! The story is very clear from the image. No words necessary. The expression is perfect. Very solvable puzzle with lots of patience.

He flower couldn't stand the stress of living with her either.

Awesome! I thought the same thing as Beth about the flower. You continue to amaze me with the details in your puzzles. Again a nice reward after working a 12 hour shift.

Wow! Great detail. I like how you did the curtains and her expression. This was so fun to solve. Meeting a new character that fits right into the storyline was so interesting.

Two questions: Where will "he" live when his lease is up? (hehehe) and just what are the names of our leading characters anyway? I imagine the answer to both will be, "Wait and see." :-)

Linda, thanks for entertaining us on so many levels.

Linda, you did it again! The poor droopy flower, poisoned by her venom. And that mean ol' broad, sittin' there hour after hour lookin' for trouble. I've been wondering if her expression is a perpetual scowl ... or a unibrow. I have decided that it is BOTH! The ol' bat! Thanks so much for all the enjoyment you are giving us. You are a treasure! :o)

Everyone has a neighbor like she. Nice puzzle!
#13: MrsThing (mrsthing2) on Feb 3, 2014 [SPOILER]
Boy! That mean ol' uni-browed snoop even wilts her own flowers! (I feel sorry for her cat!)

Linda, I love your soap opera!

Thanks for all the fun.
