These are very reminiscent of the ones for Eric Bompard cashmere sweaters, which I blogged about in 2012 and 2013.

[Mountain Monday] Yeti vs. Mountain

Just out from Google: Verne: The Himalayas - an app for Android where YOU are the yeti, a 500 ft yeti named Verne, and can explore the Himalaya Mountains via 3D Google Maps.  Travel via balloon, ice skates, jet pack, hand glider, etc., or just run, jump around, interact with argali, or play Himalayan musical instruments (?)

Who better than an ablobinable snowman, native to the region, to explore the mountains and ascend Chomolungma (aka Mt. Everest)?





Thanks for the scoop, Colin!

Yeti vs. Mountain: that's a truly classic interaction. What other imagery can we find depicting this relationship?

[Destination: U.S.A.] North Carolina


Continuing our drive south, let's visit North Carolina in pursuit of Yeti sightings.

We can play a game of Cornhole with a giant building-smashing, vehicle kicking yeti (artist unknown) at The Wedge Brewery in Asheville, NC:

Then we can head to the coast (way over on the other side of the state) to nab some free samples at Yeti Ice in Emerald Isle, NC:

Vehicle vs Yeti (Yeti Arcade: Versus Vehicle Roundup)

Sometimes yeti isn't using a vehicle.

 It's yeti VS. vehicle.

Yeti vs. Battlestar Galactica viper

Happens all the time.  Like this play set called Yeti Smash in which you literally propel your toy car straight into a yeti.




This recent commercial for Audi shows how the car itself is the reason the Yeti stops preying on some villagers!

No yeti depicted because car


Happens especially in video games. Journey with me now as we drive by some of them...
