MEOW #25: Easy Peasy

A weekly meta crossword on the forum started by member Josh (aka madhatter5). These puzzles are often very creative with solving mechanisms out of the norm and skewing towards the more challenging. Puzzles are posted every Wednesday, and the solution appears the following Tuesday.

Here kitty kitty. (As an old Señor Wences fan, I'm reluctant to call a puzzle easy since what may be easy for you . . . )

When I saw the clue for 17A ("Make a copy of antianxiety medication?") I thought it was going to be CLONEOPIN.

NUDGES!I am always willing to give nudges where needed; metas should be about fun, not frustration. Send me what you have done so far because often you are closer than you think!

Or LITHOGRAPH LITHIUM, PROCREATE PROZAC, DUPLICATE DULOXETINE, SYNTHESIZE CYMBALTA....the list is long, but not depressing!

I may have a similar odd sense of humor, but 30D Cracked me UP!

It is right up there with:

Man to Fortune Teller: "I don't believe you people can really see into the future"
Fortune Teller: "I Knew you were going to say that..."

But subtler and funnier.
