He looks around, and realizes that there are no snowmen (probably because everyone else is inside where it's warm), and it makes him grumpier still. I suppose, it's just really not that funny. Like I've said, when a person does a daily comic strip, sometimes, they have an off day.

There were a few Peanuts cartoons that featured multiple snowmen. And are we sure he isn't up to his knees in snow? @ Rupert–YES, Linus did it first.

And are we sure he isn’t up to his knees in snow?

Then he glances over his shoulder, still crabby. Suddenly, he's walking to the left, noticing something. Then he's facing right again, and inquiring to someone off-frame about some missing snowmen. The snowman thing is confusing enough, but the first three panels don't help. So he’s walking to the right, crabby about something. Then he glances over his shoulder, still crabby.
