The solution is elementary, my dear LordRetard: You know how you can see your breath in the winter? Where Biff lives, it is apparently so cold that the cloud froze, and Biff is holding the frozen cloud.
Montreal in winter can get darn cold, especially in the suburbs, with wind… When you eyes start leaking and THEN freeze shut, it’s time to go in. It is a very sucky feeling
i’ve never really lived in cold places, all of my chidhood was spent in california, then when i was 14 we moved to new york in the winter, we back in california in three weeks
Oxygen turn’s to a liquid at - onehundred forty something or other, so imagine how cold it must be to freeze your breath. Biff’s going to need some blankets soon.
“i’ve never really lived in cold places, all of my chidhood was spent in california…” sayeth Oddly Frozen?!?!?!?! Now I’m really curious as to why OF chose that name.
Got that as soon as i read the “hold his breath” part… Isn’t that funny when u get it right away (still pretty darn funny though). Now, when reading Stryc9’s comment, I laughed.
As for the discussion… the steam you exhale condenses into liquid so you can see it. But it has to touch some really cold ice to freeze instantly, and the ice must get enough cold from the air to not melt.
But actually, u just need -12 deg Celsius: thats the temperature Snow cannons they use to make ski tracks work best on. And they just spray water into the air.
On antarctica, at the Vostok Station, the lowest temperature measured is minus 89,2 degrees Celsius. That is so cold that if you throw a bucketfull og hot water up in the air, it freezes completely before it hits the ground!
So frozen breath shouldn’t be completely impossible :o)
that snowman has a vestigial button out to his left
why is that?
its like suits with the flaps that make you think you have a pocket for your cookies that you’re taking from dance but then you drop them because there is no pocket and you have a nice big icing stain on your thigh and people joke about it all night
You DO realize that if it was cold enough for carbon dioxide to freeze, it would be cold enough to freeze your lungs (or at least freeze the water inside your lungs, which would kill you)

i love the look on the snowman’s face
July 31st, 2006 at 7:44 pm
I feel stupid… I don’t get it.
July 31st, 2006 at 7:52 pm
That’s ok. You don’t have to get all of them. Just pretend that it’s not funny.
August 1st, 2006 at 12:49 pm
But that leaves me with the worry that maybe the joke is that it doesn’t make any sense, and then I find it funny… I’m in a bit of a dilemma here.
August 1st, 2006 at 12:57 pm
I COULD explain it but I don’t think they are ever funny if you get them explained to you.
August 3rd, 2006 at 2:23 am
Ehehehe, it took me forever to get that one.
It must be pretty cold where Biff lives >.

So he held his breath… neat.
January 11th, 2007 at 12:04 am
Forecast says I should be able to do that tomorrow .. ugh..
I wish I was as tough as Biff and could survive at that temperature with just a T-shirt on.
January 11th, 2007 at 12:21 am
He can survive a lot more than cold!
January 11th, 2007 at 9:38 am
Tkort, you need to visit North Dakota in January. we are that tough.
January 12th, 2007 at 3:14 am
Haha, yeah you need to be from a cold climate to get this one. Minnesota is a great start ^-^
January 15th, 2007 at 12:16 am
its ice storming outside my house right now i hate michigan
January 22nd, 2007 at 6:16 am
I’ve never been in a place that cold >.
January 24th, 2007 at 6:37 pm
North Dakota in January? Bah, try Winnipeg in January!
January 30th, 2007 at 8:20 pm
It was warm in Canada this month. Well, Toronto, mostly. Not sure/don’t care about the other cities, though.
Hmm…
He’s pretty tough to take the kind of cold…y’know, without his blood freezing
February 11th, 2007 at 2:50 am
How did i manage to undestand it while others didnt?
February 18th, 2007 at 1:46 am
A bloodsicle! Favored treat of goth kids worldwide!
February 18th, 2007 at 9:07 pm
Living in the caribbean…
February 23rd, 2007 at 11:56 am
I’m not sure if everyone missed this, but for the people who don’t get it, the phrase “holding your breath” takes on a double meaning here.
It can’t be just me who got this. … Right?
February 26th, 2007 at 3:58 pm

March 20th, 2007 at 8:20 am
holds his breath. ha ha ha
where i live we have to fry our conversations to understant each other..!
April 9th, 2007 at 7:38 pm
Colorado this December, we broke three record lows.
April 10th, 2007 at 9:34 pm
snotcicles are the worst. mucus shouldn’t crunch.
April 13th, 2007 at 5:14 pm
Took me 20 seconds to get that one… His breath looks pretty solid. ;o
April 20th, 2007 at 7:47 pm
that was funny, but very cheesy.
April 23rd, 2007 at 9:56 am
I had to read the comments to get this one.
I just audibly groaned, slapped my forehead, and laughed for several minutes.
April 29th, 2007 at 7:14 pm
The pun hurts, mommy! X_X
STill, I swear it’d get that cold here in TExas…I like the cold, but buttkick on a stick. X_X

May 5th, 2007 at 12:55 pm
*we were
May 12th, 2007 at 6:29 pm
It would be awesome if your own breath actually solidified like that.
May 16th, 2007 at 11:41 am
Not really. I could see letting out a heavy sigh and it falling on your foot. Ouch!
May 23rd, 2007 at 10:57 pm
let’s see now.
Oxygen turn’s to a liquid at - onehundred forty something or other, so imagine how cold it must be to freeze your breath. Biff’s going to need some blankets soon.
May 24th, 2007 at 4:37 pm
But breathing out is mostly carbon dioxide, so he’s holding dry ice… OW!!! LET GO!!!!! That stuff burns….
(lol @ Stryc9)
May 30th, 2007 at 3:07 pm
Either that or he is holding the ice fromed when the moisture in his breath froze.
June 3rd, 2007 at 10:27 pm
Its the moisture that freezes. Dont know what temperatures this would need though. Iv seen -60 C, and that mustve been warm comapred to this.
June 6th, 2007 at 11:55 am
When I saw the comic, I was trying to figure out what he was holding. Then I read the caption. LOL!
June 6th, 2007 at 11:59 am
“i’ve never really lived in cold places, all of my chidhood was spent in california…” sayeth Oddly Frozen?!?!?!?! Now I’m really curious as to why OF chose that name.

I see you’re a fellow Winnipegger, too, Koer, or did you just visit?
July 10th, 2007 at 9:34 pm
What’s this “Winter” everyone’s referring to?
We only have Summer in Texas.
August 8th, 2007 at 4:59 am
In nothern Sibiria they sometimes get frozen mist. Imagine walking through mist-covered streets and leaving tunnels as you go. . .
So, frozen condensed breath isn’t entirely unrealistic.
August 10th, 2007 at 5:15 pm
Brilliant!
You could have heard my brain for a minute if you where here… tic tic tic tic bing!
August 17th, 2007 at 6:35 pm
OMG! I just got it. Awesome. Took me awhile…
August 24th, 2007 at 7:48 pm

September 2nd, 2007 at 9:39 am
Impossible? No. Unpleasant? Very Yes!
October 16th, 2007 at 1:49 am
… I cried when I finaly got this… 5 minutes later…
well more like sobbed…
December 26th, 2007 at 10:35 am
his breath froze and he caught it
January 18th, 2008 at 8:59 pm

March 14th, 2008 at 2:22 pm
Another reason I’m glad I live in a place where it never gets below 15 degrees F.
March 14th, 2008 at 2:50 pm
i wonder if he also has a lung in there…
March 19th, 2008 at 5:05 pm
That took me a minute, my headphones then fell from my head on their own.
April 18th, 2008 at 3:00 pm
I literally did not get this one at all (until I read someone’s explanation on here). Perhaps it’s because I’m from Georgia. ::shrug::
June 19th, 2008 at 10:23 am
It would of been funnier if it was a biff snowman in the background
