A six-panel black-and-white comic about a snowman having an existential crisis. In the first panel a cheerful snowman asks another snowman, "Frosty, don't you just love the Christmas season?" Frosty, who looks anxious, replies, "Did you know... I'm made of snow? My body is snow." Over the next panels Frosty narrates flatly as snow falls and kids play: "Oh look, it's snowing now! Flesh is raining from the sky. That's just lovely," then "Hey, neat. Me-meat is piling up in every direction," then watching children play, "Kids are throwing snowman remains at each other. How wonderful for me," then "I guess that must be pretty disturbing," and finally "I'm looking forward to summer" (i.e., his own melting). Votey: a close-up of Frosty's resigned face saying, "Thank goodness I don't have a soul!"
