A Cleverly-Titled Logic Puzzle Blog: Monday Mutant 99: Spirits of Serpentine (seconds)

In this Spirits of Serpentine puzzle, the clues represent the second number encountered in the direction of the arrow, rather than the first; if only one number or no numbers are encountered before the edge of the grid or the nearest black cell (whichever is closer), then the clue is 0. The rules are otherwise unchanged.

I forgot to mention this when it was more current, but my third Square Root of Minus Garfield strip is now online. Check it out.
