Man… I lived where there was no snow growing up while reading Calvin and Hobbes. I always wished that I could replicate the Snowmen…

Too funny! Don’t forget that he’s holding an ice cream scoop, and standing behind another snowman with several scoops missing.

Haha!! I had done a couple of snow goons years ago, when I was in high school. Getting two heads on one goon required internal support, and a wider base.

I had also completed two of the “Egad, Bad Dad.” protesting snowmen, as well as the one with a hole shot through his belly by a cannonball.

I was in the process of the yard of horrors, when an elderly neighbor had rung up the house and informed my mother of what “atrocities” I was commiting on “the decent wholesome image of snowmen.”

Their photos were taken with an oldfashioned camera, I wish they had digital cams back then, so I could post the images.

That’s good, but I’d love to see someone do replicas of the self-replicating Mutant Snow Goons from one of the C&H strips. That or Calvin’s Snowman Yard Of Horrors. That was good stuff. Man I wish Watterson was still producing…
