Crossword 226: Replacement Parts

March 19, 2022 David Bywaters

Alfred Elmore, The Origin of the Combing Machine


What did the aging man use to hide his bald spot? A replacement part! Get it? With the clue “comb-over consequence?” I’m going to put that phrase in a funny hairstyles-themed crossword, as soon as I think up three more funny-hairstyle puns of symmetrical length. Meanwhile the phrase will do, in the plural, as a title for today’s puzzle.
