Today’s puzzle was a New Yorker cover from 1985, which is much more recent than the previous day’s. The image is called “Deck the Mantle” by Iris VanRynbach.
There’s really not much complicated about these advent puzzles, but I do really like that they’re all 100 pieces and they’re good quality pieces. This one did have a section of four pieces already put together, which I understand is an irritation for some puzzlers, but I tend to simply shrug my shoulders about it. It’s a bit like a freebie.
I love the small size of the boxes and how sturdy they are. This doesn’t feel like a set of 24 puzzles as I’ve known them in the past. I’ve gotten the collections of 12 puzzles in a box and all you usually get with those is the puzzles in separate bags. Though mixing them all together would make for a fun puzzle. So this is a very nice set. I do wish that they would use less plastic to bag the pieces, or no bag at all. There’s a lot of plastic that comes with puzzles, plastic that I find is unnecessary if the puzzle is sealed, especially if there’s already plastic on the outside holding the box together.
