Friday, February 14, 2025 - ♫ Love is in the air ♬ ... and in the grid ❤️!

While Friday crosswords are traditionally themeless, today's grid was rife with subtle, almost ninja-like Valentine's Day references. That's not to detract from the rest of the grid. We were fans of 51D, One-eyed "Futurama" character, LEELA (oh, please reboot that series!); 53D, One sporting a sporran, maybe, SCOT (okay, maybe we do subscribe to Popular Sporran, what about it? 😀 😀); 61A, "Skimbleshanks: The Railway Cat" poet, ELIOT (sporran and Skimbleshanks in one grid? Heart be still!).tldr, this was a fabulous Friday crossword, and we lovingly bestow upon it 5 squares on the JAMCR scale.Show note imagery: A Snellen chart, a key component of most EYETESTS.We love feedback!
