Today's puzzle ought to put a smile on your face ... because there's a smile in the grid! A winking smile, to be precise, the emoticon ;-). Rather than using PUNCTUATIONMARKS, however, the ;-) is ingeniously spelled out (SEMI, COLON, HYPHEN and PARENTHESIS, all arranged in the appropriate shape in the grid), and it must've taken forever to get this right. We salute the author, Alex Rosen, for a job well done - 5 squares on the JAMCR scale. Besides the PUNCTUATIONMARK artistry, there was some clues for which a ;-) seems so apropos -- 94D, It may run from an emotional situation, MASCARA, 108A, Like the minotaur legend, CRETAN (notable because this is the 3rd time CRETAN has appeared in as many days), and the EPIC 21A, What can make men swear from menswear, SPACEBAR. Very nice!
