Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for January 03, 2025

Seemed like a cool idea at first though.

What about, Thou shalt not covet thy neighbor’s carrot nose.

Think “Thou shalt not use yours or anyone’s arms, eyes, or mouth as fuel” would be a commandment.

If the temperature goes to 2 degrees above freezing, make sure that you have a repair buddy who can repair you.

I wonder if Frosty predates the Celsius scale.

If they don’t obey the holy commandment, evil snowman can only hope for a day when Hell freezes over!

Threaten them with cherry syrup and paper cups.

That’s cold comfort.

There must have been religion in that

Old silk hat he found

For when he placed it on his head

He began to prance around

Clear evidence that Heaven uses metric units.

At least Frosty didn’t behold them worshiping a golden fridge.

So, he’s not the Jolly, Happy Soul Gene Autry has been telling us Frosty is for decades now?

Frosty has a cult too?

No transgender, no operations — you know, they take your kid — there are some places, your boy leaves for school, comes back a girl. Okay? Without parental consent.” – The Reality Show Con Artist 10/14/24

At least what he is preaching is a lot smarter than what MAGAts lap up.

At least add “Thou shalt not covert thy neighbor’s carrot”

He’s a cold hearted guy

Today’s Calvin and Hobbes is also about snow critters.

After that, everyone chilled out

There was also a prophet named Kelvin but everyone thought that he was an absolute zero

I, Snobot!

The Count clicked on Non Sequitur and got Calvin and Hobbs Snow Goons.

The future is endless, until it isn’t.

Might need some extra commandments:

2. Thou shalt not add carbon to thy atmosphere.

Or:

2. Thou shalt be learned, thoughtful, and actively prevent a breaking of the first commandment.”

Unfortunately, the latter may lead to Snowperson crusaders.

Makes as much sense as any other theology.

To be really nerdy here, that temperature needs to be adjusted for altitude. Higher-altitude locations have lower freezing points than lower-altitude ones.

That doesn’t seem like something snowmen have control over, unless they have special powers we don’t know about

If the Wachowski siblings did Christmas shows.

Who was Frosty having the discussion with ?

Survival of the frigidest.

When the icicle left Frosty, it was as if he’d been stabbed through the heart

“Hey, Frosty, what about wind chill?”

You’re getting warmer ! ;-)

Back when I was a history major, I was privileged to see a draft copy of the 10 Commandments, with pencilled notations in God’s own handwriting in the margins. Seems the Big Guy was undecided until the very last moment whether to go with “Thou shalt treat women and dark-skinned people as equals.” but finally decided to devote that particular slot to the vexatious and insidious problem of graven images.

I’m sure everybody agrees with that, even those who are NOT snowmen. And I wonder who he had the “discussion” with; a couple of them look a bit sceptical.

“Be cool,” saith the lord. “Listen to Albert Collins.”

It’s snow fun being a Florida snowman.

Did Calvin make the snowmen?

Has Calvin heard about this?
