Saturday, July 16, 2022 - Hark, Robin, it's the BATPHONE!

Another tough Saturday crossword (hmm... there seems to be a trend here), with a particularly diabolical southwest corner, with clues like 31D, California city in the Mojave Desert, BARSTOW, 32D, Emergency device in DC, BATPHONE (oh, that DC) and 29D, Buttercup relatives, ANEMONES, ready to trap the unwary. In other news, we've found a highly deserving crossword for our JAMCOTWA (Jean And Mike Crossword Of The Week Award) -- the deets, as they say, are inside. We love feedback! Send us ...
