Yeti and Spaghetti

I've blogged about Noah Kroese's storybook idea and Fat Robot's sauce can. But there are other artistic works of art exploring the combination of yeti and spaghetti, two unrelated elements that go great together.


This is the graphic you can get on a Hoody from Lenko's Boutique:

And the immensely talented illustrator and sculptor Matthew Roby graciously sent me the following two pictures he made:

19 Girls and Me and the Yeti



The picture book "19 Girls and Me" features a snowball fight with yeti.

Canada, Athleticism, and the Yeti

The Edmonton Rush Lacrosse Club has, not one, but TWO yeti mascots.

There is "Slush".







And the more elusive "Freez".






And for a few years, the Quebec Rafales hockey team had this flaming yeti surfing a hockey stick as its jersey logo.

Not Yeti Friday - Doomsday

They are the minions of the villain Zeron the Ice Man and hang out with him and his giant evil wolves on his planet. They were only in the one episode.
