Jim Plukart
Wow! Jim Plukart dedicated a lot of time investigating this Frozen Hybrid. He tirelessly illustrated of the frozen being, obviously from local first hand accounts, and then rigorously set up hidden equipment to photograph her. The final evidence is astounding!
Found: Sheharzad Arshad!
This image was posted on the blog about a year ago. Thanks to an extra helpful internet sleuth, I was directed to the image's author, Sheharzad Arshad. If you chuckled as hard as I did, upon viewing the image, visit Sheharzad's webstore.

This guy was spotted by Allen Hough, of Mission Mission Blog, outside Wrigley Field, in IL. Let me know if you know his origins!

Here's another example of the flirtatious Coney Island M-M-Ice Cream Lady.

Dick Daniels must be in a very cold place, with very high Ice Cream People traffic. Here's another rendition from Funhouse57.

Featured Cone: Joe Keinberger
Joe Keinberger has uncovered a little information regarding the mythology surrounding the Snow Goblin:
"A lesser Frost Imp, or Snow Goblin. Charged with the task of freezing small ponds and streams in winter. Called "Little Frost" in parts of Europe, is known as a patron saint to lost pets, often leading them home through blinding snowstorms. Has been credited with changing pails of cream into ice cream, for sick children who leave them outside their doors on New Year's Day." Travels on the North Wind in his tiny ice cream cone, steering with his candy cane staff."

Ice Cream Flag
I totally lost the email this image was attached to. If you know the origins of this guy please let me know! Thanks!
Coney Island w/ Caitlin Roy
Field advocate Caitlin Roy recently journeyed out to CONEy Island, New York, in search of evidence. According to Caitlin, "You can tell the mustache one was trying to hide the fact that he was a tasty trea, while the lady was inviting people to eat her. I liked her style."

Danilo Beyruth
It is terrifying to think what could be driving this Ice Cream Person mad. His strawberry face melts over his clutched cone-hands. A frozen nightmare, reminiscent of Edvard Munch's, "the Scream". Kudos to Field Advocate Danilo Beyruth for capturing the troubling emotions of this Ice Cream Person.
Dr. Gone Wild Style
This image is from a Dublin, Ireland event called Mr. Jones.
It was executed by the talented Doctor Gone.
Frozen French Friend
Here's another supplement to the European Mutant Ice Cream Statues post.

Matthew Rodriguez
Matthew Rodriguez has been and active participant in the Ice Cream Community for a number of years. It is a pleasure to share some of his evidence. Also, thanks to Oscar Arriola for sharing his photos of Matthew's work.
Ol' Blue Eyes
This wide eyed heart-breaker was discovered by Flickr Corespondent mojodaisy in Grand Haven, MI. Be careful not to engage in a staring contest with Ol' Blue Eyes, he's unbeatable.
Smiley Pink
Smiley Pink is just a happy camper. Never has any drama, only smiles.
Discovered by Field Advocate: Rob Elliott.
Cambridge, MA
These guys were spotted in a dark back ally in Cambridge, MA. I think they've been hanging out with the wrong crowd.

Two Ice Cream People marvel at what seems to be either their offspring, or their dinner. Drawing by Justin Degarmo!
Tipsy Ice Cream
Ice Cream People have been known to get intoxicated from time to time. Thus these sobriety signs, indicating that it is not alright to "get tipsy". Good eye Bethany!
Featured Cones!
Salty Dave believes,
"[This] Ice Cream Man is having a meltdown. Yes, pun intended. Pushed to the brink by the pressures of the modern world, such as global warming, he starts to come apart. He's lost his cool. But he's a resilient chap. He takes a licking and keeps on ticking."
According to Allison Bamcat,
"Clowns love ice cream. Ice cream clowns are the happiest of clowns, melting and glorping, and speaking in chocolate tongues that we humans cannot understand."
Flavor of the Month
Ice Cream People are often considered guardians, protectors of innocence. In this instance our frozen friend is protecting the young boy from poor ice cream flavors.
Thanks to Cecile van Straten for sharing this photo!

More Mutant Ice Cream Statues
Over the fast few weeks I've received reports of Ice Cream Mutant statues appearing all through out Europe. ( Previous Post ) Thanks to the following Field Advocates, for their documentation.
Jim & Claire's encounter in Berlin, Germany.
Nathan Castle's discovered on the Greek island of Kos. Nathan insists that perhaps the island is governed by them?
Amanda Bouchard's encounter outside Jus' Desserts, in St. Ives, England.

Just One Cornetto
This musical chap was discovered by Dave Knapik in the UK!
Specifically, near the Oxford Circus tube station in central London, southeast corner of Oxford Circus (Soho side).
Cookie Puss
According to Carvel lore, Cookie Puss is an edible space alien (his original name was "Celestial Person" and his initials, "C.P.", later came to stand for "Cookie Puss") who was born on planet Birthday. (1)
According to I.C.P. Field Advocate Matt "...it's supposed to be some kind of alien. That's not speculation -- several of the old commercial spots featured Cookie Puss, with an echoing, unearthly voice, flying through space and twirling his many tasty features amidst the stars. It's possible that Carvel wanted to suggest an all-American cake character who, by virtue of his sheer determination to be super excellent, learned to fly off the planet and breathe where oxygen doesn't exist. I've never known Carvel to be so in-depth with their origin stories, so I'm betting he's just supposed to be an alien."
Thanks to Fred for the lead, and to Matt ofX-Entertainment for his x-cellent analysis.
