NYT Crossword Puzzle 8-11-21 (Contains Spoilers)

I pulled out 24A Footnote abbr.: IBID because I first consciously saw this when reading the Mueller Report. It’s short for ibidem, which means in the same place.

This puzzle was kinda cool with the face pattern. The clues weren’t necessarily great (23A “Mamma _!”: MIA and 4D One whose porridge was too cold for Goldilocks: MAMABEAR), but I appreciated it overall.

19A Zoned out: STAREDINTOSPACE.
31A With 48-Down, promotional phrase on some product packages: ASSEEN ONTV.
38A Seemed confused, maybe: HADABLANKLOOK.
49A Appeared poker-faced: SHOWEDNOEMOTION.

Finished this one in 19:58.
