That skibot is pretty badass. He'd leave behind moguls bigger than most ski hills in the midwest.

That's not cute! That's horrible! Why are the global defense forces not being contacted? ALIENS ARE INVADING OUR VACATIONLANDS!

Yeah, we used to run into those aliens during our cross-country car trips in the '50s. My parents used to complain that they'd drink up all the coffee in the motel lobbies before anybody else was up (the aliens don't sleep at night—we never did figure out what they did in their motel rooms), but I was too young to drink coffee, so I just thought they were cool. Wonder where they all went?

Those aliens are pretty shitty drivers (NOT RACIST).

Saw these earlier and wanted to do the same thing. If only I knew the first thing about Photoshop. And this guy hadn't already.

I remember this. Shortly afterward the snowman melted and the little aliens took offense. They tried to get Gort there to destroy the world, but he was busy carving the slopes.

They got pissed and saucered off for Venus or something.

Gort stuck around for another couple of weeks. He still writes every now and again.
