 Well, there seem to be a problem in this one. The width of the letter
is in the background smaller than in the foreground. That is also the
problem why the lines doesn't fit. Let me try a diddle on this one:

.---.
|`.  `.
|  `.  `.
|    `.  `.
|      `.  `.
|        `.  `.
|   |`.    `.__`.
|   |  `.   |   |
|   |   |`. |   |
|   |   |  `|___|
|   |___|.   `.
|    `.   `. __`.
|      `.   |   |
|   `.   `. |   |
|   | `.   `|___|
|   |   `.   `.
|   |   | `. __`.
|   |___|   |   |
|   `.   `. |   |
 `.   `.   `|___|
   `.   `.   `.
     `.   `. __`.
       `.   |   |
         `. |   |
           `|___|
mbfh/Alf

 I think this version is a little more irritating :)

 This 7x5 seems also effective to me *smirks*

After toying with it some more from your suggestion are there several
ways of hopefully achieving the necessary results

nothing impossible till one gives up
