Jean & Mike Do The New York Times Crossword

Today’s crossword featured a fine example of grid art — a face that definitely HADABLANKLOOK, and SHOWEDNOEMOTION - which coincidentally is what Jean & Mike look like when
they have their puzzle-solving faces on.
Apart from the Mona Lisa-like grid, there were some interesting answers: 56A, Brand with the record for a single car driven the most miles (3+ million and counting), VOLCO (huh!); 5D, Pennsylvania petroleum center, once, OILCITY (natch!), and 30D, It’s been known to chase Wild Turkeys, BEER (nice).
A fine effort by Joe Dipietro, we give it an unemotional 5 squares on the JAMCR scale.
