Scarfs and clothing in general are thought of as warmth-bringing but they only reflect our own heat back at us - they're insulating. In Frosty's case the scarf would insulate him from rising external temperatures and keep him cold longer.
Webcomic DEBUNKED. NOT SCIENTIFICALLY ACCURATE!
Whatever else happens today, know that you won.
He’s asking for a hair dryer, so wouldn’t the scarf hold some of the warm air that bounces off his melting ice flesh as he uses the dryer?
If anything the scarf would block that heat in the first place. Think keeping your water bottle under a coat in a hot car to keep it cool
I used to keep a white towel over the 24 packs of water I kept in my back seat, that really does work. 100°F outside, water is still a crisp 72°
I had an old, ratty denim Dickies coat with thick insulation that probably weighed six or seven pounds. I'd throw it over a few water bottles on the floor or the seat, and they'd still be cool when the ones exposed in the backseat were warm, almost hot. Seriously, I had better luck with that coat than I had with coolers without ice.
Wow, way to ruin christmas John... Everybody knows Frosty has problems keeping cold. Don't judge him for his choices.
A scarf doesn't create heat. It only holds it in. So, this comic is even more disturbing than it seems, because Frosty must have an internal source of heat that's slowly, inevitably melting him away.... It's just occurred to me that this is analogous to the human aging process.
Or the hair dryer he requested is the source of heat and he knows the scarf will help accelerate that process?
The scarf would protect him from the heat from the dryer if anything
I know Frosty, I know.
Recently, I saw a toddler ask her mom why a snowman decoration was wearing a scarf. And the mom decided to go the playful route and said that the snowman is probably cold. So, the toddler followed up asking why the snowman is out here and not inside the house, where it's warm? To which the mom replied that it would melt, if it was inside...well, uh, not this one, as it's a decoration made out of wood.
And like, yeah, these are some tough questions.
Do you just explain to a toddler that humans put up decorations, which don't always make infinite sense?
Hello fellow Cyanide and Happiness fans!
About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net) and a an extra or two randoms.
Cyanide & Happiness (C&H) is a webcomic created by Rob DenBleyker, Kris Wilson, Dave McElfatrick and Matt Melvin. The comic has been running since 2005 and is published on the website explosm.net along with animated shorts in the same style. Matt Melvin left C&H in 2014, and several other people have contributed to the comic and to the animated shorts… Read more: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cyanide_%26_Happiness
Hope you enjoy and feel free to contribute to the community with art, media, cool stuff about the authors, tattoos, toys and anything else, as long it’s Cyanide and Happiness related!
