As a lifelong Chicagoan, I can identify with the bundled man in this strip. Just a few short months ago my winter wardrobe consisted of a ridiculously puffy coat, a pair of thick gloves, a pair of clunky black boots, several pairs of flannel-lined jeans, and a much-too-thin reversible cotton cap. That last item gave me fits, considering how much heat escaped from my head on cold winter mornings. But its flimsiness did make me thankful for the furry winter hat (complete with furry winter ear-flaps) that I got for Christmas. The promise of warm ears amid bitter cold made it the best present a man with a long, wintry walk to the train could receive.
