ACROSS
1 - Known as Humpty Dumpty in many illustrations - EGG
4 - Cartoon bear wearing red, sans pants - POOH
6 - Compilation of globe maps - ATLAS
8 - Opposite of "hasta luego" - HOLA
9 - [Check out the circles] - WOW
DOWN
1 - Environmental agency that keeps the water clean - EPA
2 - Dark subculture with a predilection for black attire - GOTH
3 - A line from Michelle Obama that begins with "When they ..." - GOLOW
5 - Accessory often donned by angels - HALO
7 - Utility with sharp teeth - SAW
This puzzle was fun thanks to the additional circles in the middle three rows. With those combined, you get OOHLALA, which gives you the hint for 9-Across (WOW). Many of these answers were straightforward for even the casual solver. If you ever wondered whether Humpty Dumpty is an egg, the answer is, yes, he is! As for Winnie-the-POOH's unique wardrobe, he indeed wears a red shirt—no pants.
With the majority of the answers in place, you'll find solving the rest a breeze! This one took me around 1 minute 30 seconds to complete.
