Do you think it&#8217;s a coincidence that BEBOP is in the upper left corner of the picture?  I think not!
Here are my alternate clues:

<p>Do you think it&#8217;s a coincidence that BEBOP is in the upper left corner of the picture?  I think not!</p>
<p>Here are my alternate clues:</p>
<p>20 Across &#8211; People who don&#8217;t like how their horses look are doing this<br />
25 Across &#8211; &#8220;Ah, yes, my dear, I got this while on the fencing team at Old Heidelburg U.&#8221;<br />
33 Across &#8211; &#8220;Well, he did sock me in the jaw, but in his defense, he did ask for his salad dressing on the side.&#8221;<br />
52 Across &#8211; Bogie told the young man from Bulgaria to make one of these<br />
60 Across &#8211; General McChrystal and Afghanistan hawks<br />
67 Across &#8211; Tasty treats cooked on a Bunsen burner and garnished with sauerkraut?<br />
81 Across &#8211; &#8220;No, I didn&#8217;t like Karen!&#8221; &#8220;I didn&#8217;t like Richard either!&#8221; &#8220;And don&#8217;t get me started on the song &#8216;Calling Occupants of Interplanetary Craft!&#8217; (Oops, too late.)&#8221;<br />
93 Across &#8211; How Nic was turned into a superhero?<br />
100 Across &#8211; Some of the generals were busted to colonel, but one of them was made a corporal</p>
<p>There were two Biblical references in this puzzle, <strong>Canaan</strong> and <strong>Rahab</strong>.  Rahab was not only part of the genealogy of Jesus, but in the &#8220;Faith Hall of Fame&#8221; in the book of Hebrews.</p>
<p>I was amused that <strong>atonal</strong>, clued as &#8220;keyless,&#8221; and <strong>pianos</strong>, clued as &#8220;key holders,&#8221; crossed each other.  It was as if the pianos were holding a spare key for atonal.</p>
<p>I never heard of Primo <strong>Carnera</strong> before, but here&#8217;s a picture of him with Jean Harlow</p>
