I don’t remember how long I’ve had this one sitting on my shelves, waiting to be done. For a while, I just wasn’t ready to deal with the chaos of the scene. I’ve done these cartoon puzzles before and I know that they require a level of patience for the amount of what goes on in the scene. You find pieces that look like they belong to one person, but they belong elsewhere and you just have to be ready for those misfits.
Let’s get started!
As I’ve been taking more photos of my puzzles, I’ve realized that my method probably seems quite chaotic. I don’t sort anything and I set pieces down on the completed portions. Really, the only thing that I care about is that all the pieces are flipped over. Oh, and that they’re all on the table, not on the floor. For some reason with this one, I started with the sky and worked down. I’ve been taking this approach more lately, I’ve noticed, rather than moving from section to section until I can connect them. I did appreciate the bit of challenge that this one posed. There was a lot more going on in it than in other puzzles I’d done recently. So I had to think differently about putting it together.
Once I finished this puzzle, I wished that I had the companion. This one is Romantic Town by Night and the companion is Romantic Town by Day. I was able to find it online and bought it, so I’d have the complete set. There’s so much going on in this puzzle. I spent some time just looking at the different antics and groups. I really like that in the middle of all of this chaos, there’s a guy painting. He’s not bothered by anything going on around him. He’s just working away.
