> [@Prof.Pepperwinkle](#): > > DQ: Are you Snow Miser? Yes, I am Snow Miser from [The Year Without a Santa Claus](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0072424/). I originally thought his name was Cold Miser, since his brother is Heat miser. [Dick Shawn](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dick_Shawn) provided the voice. He died on stage during a 1987 performance in San Diego CA. The audience thought it was part of the act, and so did the stagehands, since Shawn had previously told them not to rush out on stage if anything crazy happened, because it was supposed to happen like that.
