A couple of decades ago, Fox Kids had this “Attack of the Mutant Snowmen” game. This comic might have given them the idea as this snowman looks a lot like one of the bad ones in that game. Dang, all these years later and I still miss that game!
I happened to be out of the country on business when this series originally appeared. My mother-in-law snipped them out of the newspaper and sent them to me. This was about January of 1991. I remember because it was about the same time the war in the gulf (Operation Dessert Storm) started, and I was a little worried to be an American in a strange country.
Other than comic land where in the US is there deep snow on the ground all winter? Does Calvin live in the High Sierras or Rockies? Probably 75% of Americans live where it seldom get even one day of snow a year.

Now, Calvin’s parents will understand why he wanted a flamethrower.

Imagine if those snowballs landed on the snowman’s chest…

Looks like Calvin won’t be able to watch the new years fireworks show.

Ahhh… Attack of the Deranged Mutant Killer Monster Snow Goons. One of my favourite books.

I would love to be able to see how this plays out outside of Calvin’s perspective

This is terrible. Enemy firepower only makes it stronger. Two words, Calvin: blow. dryer.

Calvin, you have to work on allowing more time for the planning stage. You know that it has been your ongoing weakness.
Now is the time in your life to do the needed work on that mindset.Troglodyte over 3 years ago

You need to start packing some heat, Calvin!

Heat some stones and throw ’em at ’im. That ought to do some damage.

I can’t tell if the snowman has teeth or if that’s just the top of of his mouth.

Reminds me of the energy creature on an old Johnny Quest episode – that which you use against him only makes him stronger!!

Face it people, he isn’t getting a flamethrower. How about a sword? And Hobbes…use those claws!
Calvin should have known that snowballs won’t work.
