It would be somewhat better if OTTO were a specific OTTO… like if the clue were “alliterative president” and the answer were “Woodrow Wilson.” But I don’t know who this OTTO is. Sorry to this OTTO.

My first thought when I saw 51D: [Either blank in “__ is __”] (LOVE) was this meme. And you know what? I don’t think it’s too far off.
