Frigid Friends

(To make it bigger, touch a snowman’s stick.)

Bizarro is brought to you today by Snowvictims.

In most parts of the U.S.A. it isn’t snowy yet, but I like the simple sweetness of this gag and I’ve been holding onto it for months so just pretend you live in Minnesota or deepest, darkest Canada. Or be thankful you don’t, depending on your climate preferences. Me, I’m happy I’m here in Southern California where snow is something you snort, not trudge through.

I like the title panel for this one, too. The possibilities for snowman gags are just endless, as Bill Watterson once proved, and endlessly fun to draw, too.

PICKLED JAZZ: Today’s golden oldie from 2005 is one of my favorite snowman gags ever. I like how the punch line isn’t spelled out and one must think for a moment to come to the dark truth behind the story. Chilling, isn’t it?
