Yeah, he's a Newfoundland Poodle mix

Ah, therefore the long-haired bushy tail and very furry paws. With that mix, I'm guessing he loves goofing around in water.

Yes, and the snow, and of course the mud 😂

Because what good is mud if a dog isn't covered in it?!

 

[Olorgando]

He'd probably be seriously baffled by (what used to be) our mud at the current freezing temperatures - it hasn't gotten above freezing since Sunday, and way below during the night. Might bark at it in a frustrated way ...

Well, both that snowman built on Sunday 07 February and the snow covering the meadow have survived pretty much intact until today, eight days later, due to the unusually frigid weather for over a week now.
But that snowman (besides gaining some accessories) seems to be getting tired, or what? 😂 See for yourself:

I didn't quite get the reference. What cartoon is that from?

Same issue here; not to put too fine a point on it, I'm totally stumped.
Is this some of this new millennium stuff that I routinely draw a total blank on?😬

Marvel's Avengers. Thanos is the purple guy. In the movies, he collected soustones and wiped out half of the universe's population. I think in this, he saw the Hobbit trilogy and it confirmed for him that they made it worth wiping out so many. idk, I found it on Reddit and thought it was clever

 

[Olorgando]

I very dimly remember reading some stuff about Thanos, though I remember neither when nor where, or in what Marvel series. I'd guess in college, perhaps even later in Germany. I do remember that I kind of thought that Marvel had gone off the deep end with that - I mean, Galactus squared? Gimme a break!

Maybe he is just stretching? Being outside in the cold for days certainly affects the body.

Hm.

Our balcony looks out pretty much due west, so the sun is on the left, to the south.
The snowman is leaning towards the north, and it's been sunny the last few days ...

SOLAR WIND!!!

😁

Oh, oh, it's thawing ...

I love the Calvin & Hobbes snowman comics. This was always one of my favorites

An oldie but goodie:

The Original Mr. Spock sings “The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins”!

Never let it be said that Leonard Nimoy did not possess a good sense of humor.

WARNING!!!
Once you watch The Ballad of Bilbo Baggins you can never unsee it.
