CONNECT FOUR | By Matt Gaffney
The answer to this week’s contest crossword is an alliterative cartoon character who would have made a good sixth theme answer.

Connect Four - spreadsheet

Good luck with the grid and the meta

And Happy Cinco De Mayo

I'm declaring myself on shore. The answer makes sense - but seems a little shaky; I don't have that solid CLICK yet.

On shore, despite not being entirely in accord with the assumption
If you want help with a meta, feel free to PM me. The more specific you are about what you have and what you want, the more likely I can help without spoiling.

(And if I help you win a mug, I’ll be especially delighted.)

Think I'm on the beach - won't submit until I'm sure of my answer but seems solid so far.
