I’m stuck.
Pardon?
Three down.
What?
This crossword clue.
Oh!
Preposterous, six letters.
Crazy?
That’s five.
Foolish?
Seven.
Got it, insane!
No, it ends with D
Are you sure?
Yes, assuming nine across is right.
I know, stupid!
You calling me stupid?
No, the answer’s stupid!
Oh! But no.
Sorry, I’m out of ideas.
Grrrr! I give up. This crossword’s absurd.

Love your graphics. Hilarious story.
