This is as close as I get to perfect. I'm really happy with this on almost every level. The nit-picks are very slight, and not worth retouching. Ideally, these strips are read like a zen koan, and this is exactly that.

Hope you like it.

You're so good at pacing your comic strips just right.

surprised at how snowy the walkways stay, but if you're in a city I guess there is no place to put it

koan... so we are suppose to be able to find a deeper meaning/enlightenment in your work?

I always find comfort in observing another person's action that I do not understand, because they have their reason. This means that there is reason I do not understand and therefore am not alone in a world of shadows fantasizing they are other people.

What is the prefered method of destroying snowmen? A shovel may quickly disperse them back into the mounds from which they came, but that is just a pragmatic approach.

My street has been under a foot of ice for three months. Only the downtown gets cleaned.

As for a deeper meaning, I think it's up to the reader. Certainly, I'm not trying to write the next Dilbert. Ideally, the product has a satisfying balance, and something to consider.

I looked at this one again today, and thought of it in terms of haiku:
Leave home, the cold bites.
Some snowmen getting destroyed.
I can't understand.

I want something to read like a puzzle, and not be clear. Maybe write a Rorschach test...

The art I love most is often obtuse.

People put snowmen all over the city, and after the festival was over, most of them were joylessly taken down =(
