Cannibalism among snowmen is plague on our society.

Let me guess. These are the Donner snowmen?

Please Calvin, spare us the gory details.

And that on Christmas Eve.

Merry Christmas to everyone!!

It’s a snow eat snow world

He got iced.

It’s already a cold case file.

I thought yesterday, Calvin had given up on ‘individual, specialized’ snowmen and would create ‘generic’, everyday snowmen ??

So, a snowman walks into another snowman’s ice cream shop, and he says, “I’d like a snow cone, please.” The snowman behind the counter doesn’t hear him because he’s too busy singing, “There’s No Business Like Snow Business.”

So, the snowman asks the snowman behind the counter, “Do you enjoy this line of work?” The other snowman replies, “It’s a snow job.”

Snowbalism,. What a nasty crime.

If you ever get a chance, read Christmas in the Trenches by John McCutcheon. Interesting book based on a true event known as the Christmas Truce…

Law & Order time.

Reminds me of Frosty’s Autopsy
