☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn the "Noodnik Sales Resistance" story, a scheming character plans to sell a beat-up old refrigerator for fifty dollars by tricking naive Eskimos, then takes shelter in an igloo where he encounters a child and attempts to con the family. When the child's mother returns home, the con artist tries to sell her "dick soup," claiming he can resell it to the child, then pivots to hawking a sled to the family. In a separate story involving Deputy "Nuk," an investigation unfolds when unusual handprints are discovered in the snow around a camp, leading the deputy and others to track down a mysterious suspect.
Noodnik enters a snow statue contest with dreams of winning a shiny new sled, but his first creation meets an untimely end—and he's not the only contestant whose work gets mysteriously destroyed. When suspicion and sabotage spiral into chaos involving a territorial polar bear, a chase across the snow, and more mishaps than anyone bargained for, Noodnik discovers that sometimes the best things come when you're not looking for them.
A smooth-talking salesman arrives at an Eskimo home with a beat-up refrigerator he's convinced will fetch him fox skins—but the young boy left in charge proves tougher to sell than expected. As the salesman scrambles through increasingly creative (and catastrophic) product demos, he discovers that persistence alone won't close a deal when the customer has other plans in mind.
When Pinky Penguin Jr. and his father discover a box of carrots mysteriously appearing in the snow, they can't figure out who keeps stealing their find—or why the vegetables keep vanishing into thin air. As they pursue the elusive thief across the frozen landscape, they stumble upon Max, a snow-white rabbit with a stash of carrots and some surprisingly tough friends, leading to a scramble of misadventure in the Arctic wilderness.
Detective Chief Frank Roberge outfits himself with a proper sleuthing kit and deputizes his friends to hunt for crime in their peaceful Arctic village—and when they uncover mysterious mitten prints in the snow, a chase leads them to a suspicious character. As the young detective works the case like a true professional, he'll have to use every trick in the book to get to the bottom of what really happened.
