Scooby Dooby Doo

I used to think Scooby Doo only encountered weird greedy men disguised as yeti in order to scare children away from discovering their illicit activity - and not the yeti itself, but recent comic books indicate the large mumbling dog and his friends are now actually meeting the Abominable Snowman for real. Needless-to-say, with these encounters, the yeti is not sad about being misunderstood. It happily lives up to its Abominable status, chasing the canine with beastly relish with a none-too-subtle desire to devour him and his human owners.





There is another one in this last one's series: "Il Cactus Carnivoro":



Looks like a serious winner.

Ferguson Yeti



Nice Job, Bill Ferguson.

Yeti Hoodies




Emily alerts me to the existence of this yeti hoodie available at squidfire.

And for Cephalopodmas, my brother got me this one from Gama-Go!

Thank you, brother!

"Too big and ugly to miss!!!"



Joe Rauh will make you a roadside yeti statue to attract business.

See this Cryptomundo post about it for more pictures and info.

Loren Coleman even wrote a poem for the occasion!

Yeti Claws are real, elf-dude will tell you that much



Rich Koslowski poses the following question in his graphic novel, The List:

What if Santa Claus was real?

And apparently the yeti is in it.

Two interesting depictions



In the episode entitled "The Abominable Snowman" (view here) of the stop-motion kids show, The Amazing Adventures of Morph, the yeti is depicted as a sad and pathetic individual. Once more, we see an instance of the played-out trope of yeti disliking his "Abominable" appellation, citing it as unfair and socially disadvantageous. More friendly and innocuous than abominable, Yeti claims the title falsely represents him. What would you prefer, Pathetic Lumpy Clayman? Get over it.

Later, another trope is employed when Morph's colleagues refuse to believe his tale of encountering the Abominable Perfectly Normal Guy I'd Like to Be Friends With. Happy now?



This is yeti from the promotional music video on the Choose Your Own Adventure DVD (view here).

Now here's a yeti with some self-esteem. Still friendly and kind-hearted, the "Abominable" in front of his name doesn't bother him one bit.

This is one yeti that is choosing his own adventure!

Don't understand the concept of "purchasing"?

Then watch this video where the yeti, for no explainable reason, explains it.
