Quick Cryptic 33 by Picaroon
This is the thirty-third Guardian Quick Cryptic, a series of 11 x 11 crosswords designed to support beginners learning cryptic crosswords. The whole point of these crosswords is support and encouragement of new solvers, so special rules for these crosswords apply – see here – those rules include not posting solving times. There is a summary of the tricks used in the first six months here. This puzzle can be found here.
Private Eye (Cyclops/791) Unpaid Pension

Of course there are the serious sections too, but other long standing humorous sections that somehow keep delivering include Colman CommentatorBalls and Look-a-likes.
Another is the Eye crossword.
