I feel this one will be a “quick solve” for a lot of people. (I’m curious whether that makes people happy.)

Harper’s April ‘23 “No Typos”
April’s Maltby puzzle (with the assistance of Barry Stewart Mann) is up on the website.

Agree on the quick solve part. I kept expecting the level of difficulty to ramp up and it never came. To balance my day out the Monday Guardian puzzle was harder than one would have expected for a Monday. Is the world a zero sum game?

Yes, I believe that’s the fastest I’ve ever solved a Maltby.
Many of the typo-ridden clues were quite amusing.

I finished it quickly and enjoyed it immensely. I also got some good chuckles out of the no-typo clues.

Agree that this solved easier than the usual Maltby. I still enjoyed it a lot. I found the wordplay amusing and very entertaining.
I wonder if Mann is being groomed to take over? I cannot remember ever seeing Maltby with a co-constructor.
