Today’s Saturday Stumper

Today’s Newsday  Saturday Stumper is by Matthew Sewell, but it’s one of the easiest Stumpers I’ve done. (Just nineteen minutes.)

Some clue-and-answer pairs of note:

9-D, eight letters, “Displayed displeasure.” Does anyone ever do so outside of fiction?

18-A, nine letters, “They’re unqualified.” Clever.

21-D, three letters, “Her first husband (1956-1962) was a Japanese composer.” Instructive to see how the clueing of this name has changed over time.

23-A, thirteen letters, “Recipients of a trophy with a wand-wielding mouse arm.” Mouse arm, mouse arm ... what could it possibly be?

25-D, eleven letters, “Voluptuary’s way.” A fun clash of diction between clue and answer.

29-A, five letters, “Absurdist’s absentee.” Haven’t seen him around for a while.

35-A, seven letters, “Yarn piece.” I was baffled until I realized that the printed puzzle read yarn and not yam.

43-A, six letters, “Establishment on the water.” A nifty clue.

46-A, thirteen letters, “What skiers often leave behind.” Spoiler: Except perhaps in a Charles Addams cartoon.

46-D, five letters, “Cardinals’ double picks in 1978.” I thought Uh oh, baseball.

49-D, five letters, “Year-end stoop deliveries.” Dammit, why was my first thought of Amazon packages?

53-A, nine letters, “Prepared for parking, perhaps.” Sneaky. I was all set to put the car in reverse and start backing in.

57-D, three letters, “Welcome center.” You didn’t trick me, Matthew Sewell.

My favorite in this puzzle: 48-D, five letters, “Upended prybar.”

No spoilers; the answers are in the comments.
