Hmmmm. I don't remember this one. Perhaps it was corrupted in the crash? Or I was drunk?

I vote for drunk ;-)

Ahhhh....This is Santa Claus falling off the side of the earth. I guess I may have been a bit tipsy when I created it!

Please Ron...I am still not seeing it...can you explain further? Green thing? Blue thing? Orientation? I loved solving it...I just want to seeeeeeeee it!

Santa falling off the side of Earth? Okay, here goes: Obviously red = part of Santa, so... ::stares at image for awkward minute:: Nope, I've got nuttin.

Found to have a unique solution by valerie.

I'm baffled too.

To me, it looks like the red is the front edge of the sleigh, the blue is the back end of the reindeer, the black is the rein, and the green is the edge of the earth.

Oh! You're so right Leanne!

The blue reindeer, having pulled the sleigh to the right thus far, has now taken a 90 degree nose-dive, both hind legs and one front leg visible (left) and antlers visible (right), but not head (below frame), with the reigns ("reign deer?") taught against the reindeer's back and rump, then curving over the top of the sleigh's brush bar on its way to the out-of-frame (left) Santa, the sleigh itself being 3-4 dots above the green grassy horizontal ground that suddenly ends with a vertical cutoff at columns 3-4.

Would have loved to see Jo's 'aha' moment when she finally sees it. :/ Today's the anniversary of her Wheel appearance. :D

Oh! That makes sense! I think the idea was that Santa and the reindeer are going in a circle around the Earth. So it's not a nosedive, it's an orbit.

I miss JoDeen. She too would have been glad of the "aha" moment!

I once saw a proof that the earth is not flat.
1. Assume that the earth is flat
2. By now, cats would have rolled everything over the edge
3. There are still lots of things on the earth
4. Q.E.D. The earth cannot be flat

Ah, but now you have to prove to me that there are not two sides to this flat Earth, the other side having just as many cats rolling everything back.

Lol you guys!

Funny!

Thank you, John!
