Where's my Puzzler? (I pit Atlantic magazine.)

Miscellaneous and Personal Stuff I Must Share
1

I was checking out the newsstand at the grocery store, saw the latest issue of Atlantic. Some of the articles looked good, and their regular features are usually worth a read. But most of all, I was in the mood for a good Puzzler.

Work is going to be busy, and I could use a good diversion. It takes me about a month to do it. It’s never just a regular crossword, either; the words can go around corners, or you have to find where they go in the puzzle, or some other deep weirdness.

I bought it. Brought it in to work today to make a copy of the Puzzler.

There isn’t one; just the answers to the previous one.

I need clues like:

Cut around to Detroit (6)
I complain about one of the Judds (5)
Opt for the pilaf, perhaps, with the Spanish fish (8,3)

What am I going to do? The Sunday Times is for wimps.

I want my Puzzler!

Check out the Atlantic website – there was a (small) announcement in last month’s issue that that’s where it’s going to be from now on.

And I think it sucks, too.

I was just on the website, and it appears that the Puzzler is only for subscribers, so Robot Arm might be out of luck if he’s not one.

I highly recommend subscribing, by the way. It’s about five bucks an issue on the news-stand, but only about $15 for a yearly sub.

Yep.

See, that’s one of the things I like about it; just getting one answer can feel like a triumph.
