Add some water and you got a sauna

Just don’t leave it unattended.

In real life he’d need a much longer shovel.

Forging ahead

…and lava lamp.

Have they invented CO yet?

“This would be perfect if it weren’t for the 7-mile hike and 3000 foot climb.”

Technology abounds. The long-handled shovel is a good example.

Get some marshmallows!

Going by the comments it would appear that comic physics needs to be taught at school.

He has space between his ears with no heat or light

The shovel head probably wouldn’t survive for very long.

Could be another name for let us say a “Ray Gun.”

Geothermal heating… You’d think he was Icelandic. Our ground water is heated up by magma underground, and we use the naturally heated water to heat our homes.

Because some of those caves can get pretty chilly…

Aren´t all stars space heaters?

Clever!

so many things wrong here

I wonder how long it would take that much lava to cool?

Great idea. The start of heating for cave comfort…

kids: don’t try this at home

He needs to invent a door so the heat won’t escape!

Heat your cave with volcano poop.

Dino poop or lava???

Probably better than the other space heater, the sun.

And the flat part of the spade didn’t immediately burst into flames? Impressive considering it’s all wood.

Is that where he gets those floating tablets?

Will it call for the rest of the body?

Problem: In the daily b&w newspaper, the lava is white, like snow, so the story makes no sense at all.

If the heat don’t getcha then the H2S will.
