Horton. Our commnunity theater is putting on Seussical the Musical this summer and I have the role of Horton. It's a neat show that incorporates many of the Doctor's stories into a fun show for the entire family.

Your clue gave it away again :) (Though Horton's an elephant ;)

the last of the red was fun to solve
i had to use a combination of two way logic and edge logic
did i miss something easier?

Horton was definitely an elephant, not a Who. I know - I actually live just a ways from Hortonville, and the who's Who list there is pretty short.

To solve this, beyond line logic, there's just smile logic on the blue in the rectangle r2c17-r8c18, and then two-way logic on the red 3 in r1. (No matter which way it goes r2c3 is white.)

The line in the description is a line that Horton says in the show. I figured if a made a pachydermal reference, it would give it away too easily.

Found to be solvable with moderate lookahead by blurglecruncheon.
