MIKE TAYLOR: They don’t make toys like I used to

This is a tough time of year. Summer is over and winter looms like the Snowman of Doom. (The Snowman of Doom — aka “Frosty Pete” — is a mythical Norse character I just made up.)

What? Do you think other, more familiar Nordic characters weren’t made up? Good luck bumping elbows with Thor anywhere other than a movie theater or comic book convention, pal!
