Slapstick puppet show), SOCK IT TO ME (33A. “I’m ready for anything!”), HIT THE SACK (44A Go get some shuteye) and DECK THE HALLS (57A. Yuletide tune) are the interrelated entries of this Tuesday crossword. GROUCHO MARX (11D.

Why, that’s the last thing I’ll do!”). Other links -- STAN LEE (9D. Co-creator of the Fantastic Four). EDGAR (71A. Mystery writer’s award); INKER (39D. Worker on a comic book); SLAYS (13D. Wows at a comedy club). Punch, sock, hit and deck!
