This is my second cache celebrating cartoon characters! (You may
also enjoy the original
Name That Toon cache.) The first thing you'll need to do is
solve the following crossword puzzle. This time around it will
probably be a bit more difficult to find the answers you need
online, because you'll have to work with visual clues! I don't
think very many people will be able to solve this one all by
themselves, but you should definitely claim extra bragging rights
in your log if you do!
On the other hand, if you do require help, I'm sure you probably
know at least one Comic Book Geek with whom you can consult. Don't
just ask another cacher who has already found it for the
coordinates -- try to find a bona fide Comic Book Geek who needs
some social interaction. Come on, don't be ashamed -- go ahead and
ask them! Or alternatively, you can also visit the posted
coordinates for some professional assistance. Good luck!

Now, convert the needed letters (see below) to their numeric
equivalents (A=1, B=2, ... Z=26), and perform these simple
calculations to solve for the actual coordinates.
Example:
[A1,3] refers to the 3rd letter of the word in #1 Across.
[D4,7] refers to the 7th letter of the word in #4 Down.
A = [A7,7] - [A15,6]
B = [A16,6] - [A3,12]
C = [D6,7] - [A1,5]
D = [A12,4] - [D9,4]
E = [D8,9] - [A13,5]
F = [A5,3] - [A11,8]
G = [D4,5] - [A14,5]
H = [A10,10] - [D2,9]
The cache is located at N37° 4A.BCD W121° 5E.FGH.
CHECKSUM: A+B+C+D+E+F+G+H = 20
