Hi all.
First of all, I want to say I love the work you guys do, it's really great.
Second, would it be possible to do an ASCII art jigsaw, using an outline
like the one below by JGS, and filling each of the pieces with a little part
of a picture, like a real jigsaw, only out of ASCII.  It would be
interesting to see if it is possible or not.  Does anyone have any ideas?
TY all for taking the time to read this, and best wishes for the New Year!

The pieces are too small, it would be hard to fit enough picture into
each piece with the lines blocking out large parts.
