In this colorful MUTTS strip, Mooch excitedly hugs a snowdog, saying, "Earl! You silly dog! You shtayed out too long!!! Augh! You're frozen sholid!!!"

Looking even more concerned, he continues, "Oof! Your arms are like little frozen shticks! And your nose looks like a licorice jelly bean!" Mooch plucks off the jellybean and eats it. 

Earl approaches, exclaiming, "Mooch! That's not me!" Hugging the real Earl, Mooch replies, "I should have known. His breath didn't shtink."
