Fun Facts
- Despite Steve's Mutant Snowman looking twisted and evil, it is Beaver's conventional snowman that has come to life and apparently devoured Steve's Snowman.
- Steve's first speech bubble contains two Count Draculas posing as Santa, as he did in Comic 141.
- This whole stroyline is a reference to The_Snowman.
