Frosty the Snowman

In tweeting the idea for this strip this morning, the always delightful Ryan North of Dinosaur Comics shared this Frosty storyline with me. Go check it out: An ice golem frosty is every bit as delightful as a "Three Laws" Frosty.

ONE, TWO, and THREE

Thank you for this. My 3YO has been watching Frosty repeatedly over the last two weeks, and this helps.

I will say Frosty more or less holds up to obsessive rewatching and "I grew up with this" perspective shift, UNLIKE, say "Cinderella," which I hate more every single time she makes me watch it.

I was actually thinking about this. While I like the ice golem idea, Frosty makes me think of Baron Samedi (famous voodoo deity) who's depicted as wearing a top hat. He's simply possessing the snowman.

When that snowman melts and some poor child finds the hat and puts it on...

In Response to toutomoutokun (#62576):

Oh, here's the wikipedia page on Samedi. [wikipedia.org] Usually depicted with top hat and cigar, Frosty just happens to have a pipe instead.
