Coping Strategies for the Snowbound

coping-thumbIn this week’s exclusive comic for The Nib, I try to help my fellow snowbound bastards cope with this terrible winter.

Despite the magnitude of these storms, I remain adamantly opposed to the Weather Channel’s bullshit of naming every weather event after some D&D nonsense.

Meanwhile, there are a ton of other extremists right here doing their best to ruin everything.
