Explanation
The Joke
A child asks Frosty the Snowman whether it's weird for her to drink water in front of him, since he's made of water -- making it "like drinking a slurry of you." Frosty fires back that the kid's body is about 60% water, so she is essentially "moist meat drinking meat-moistener." When the child pushes further, noting that blood is 80% water, Frosty points out that she's essentially "having a cool glass of almost-blood right now." The child then realizes that this recontextualizes rain for her, and Frosty delivers the final gross-out: "Did you know urine is 95% water?"
The comic takes a simple, innocent observation -- a snowman watching someone drink water -- and escalates it into an increasingly disturbing series of biological reframings. Each panel makes the act of drinking water sound more grotesque by rephrasing familiar biological facts in the most unsettling way possible.
The Humor
The humor relies on the comedic technique of recontextualization: taking something completely mundane (drinking water) and making it sound horrifying through technically accurate but deliberately off-putting descriptions. "Moist meat drinking meat-moistener" is factually correct but viscerally repulsive. Frosty, traditionally a wholesome children's character, becomes increasingly adversarial and gross, flipping the child's innocent question back on her with escalating intensity. The final urine fact is the cherry on top -- Frosty has thoroughly ruined the concept of water for this child. The alt text ("From the right perspective, EVERY river is running with blood") extends the joke to its logical extreme.
