Comments on the clue
1.I like the succinctness of the clue.It is apparent that 'season'' is the definition part but fun is in solving the comet mystery.
2.I think it's unreasonable to expect the reader to split words in the clue, unless it's clearly indicated
3.I like the innovation in 'Comet'. But come for spring is very weak.
