Today’s Saturday Stumper

Today’s Newsday  Saturday Stumper, by Matthew Sewell, is surprisingly easy. Which is not to say that it’s a disappointment. Lots of novelty and fun clue. Some items of note:

2-D, four letters, “Dieter’s address.” Fun clueing, even for short answers.

6-A, four letters, “Linelike.” See 2-D.

10-D, ten letters, “Hamilton, vis-à-vis General Washington.” I don’t recall ever seeing this answer in a crossword. I think I first encountered it reading about a 10-D of Duke Ellington.

27-A, nine letters, “Pictogram on pants or pajamas.” A novel answer, at least for me.

29-D, five letters, “Statement’s imperative.” Heh.

32-D, nine letters, “December song suggestion.” I like this song.

35-A, fifteen letters, “Sting mitigation treatment.” I hope this clue wasn’t inspired by real life.

43-D, six letters, “Welsh-born couturière.” A member of my household was/is big on 43-D.

45-A, three letters, “Shortened texts.” Again, fun clueing, even for filler.

57-A, three letters, “Name on Milk & Cookies containers.” I need to spend more time in that aisle. Wait, no, I don’t.

My favorite in this puzzle: 15-A, eleven letters, “Butter associated with spring.” Loopy, goofy, Stumper-y.
