Frazz by Jef Mallett for February 02, 2023

Why don’t we merge them? If Phil comes out of his hole and sees Heavenly Hash on the wetlands, we eat tater tots for the next six weeks.

Some of us remember when there wasn’t an internet. What I don’t remember is how I managed that way!

Not-so-subtle irony.

The Luddites may have been on to something…

The groundhog is furry and sometimes does funny things.

According to The Old Farmer’s Almanac, the ground hog is a member of the squirrel family and can climb trees.

Also the Presentation in the Temple, 40 days after Christmas. And, in folklore, the traditional day when “winter’s back is broken.”

National Heavenly Hash day? My favorite ice cream!

National Tater Tot day? I almost missed it, that makes this comic a public service announcement!! That changes all my dinner plans!!

Eat hash and tater-tots while standing in a swamp in hip waders. Let the groundhog sleep.

Reverend Billy sez there should be a National Stop Shopping Day.

I’m told that Phil saw his shadow, dooming us to six more weeks of winter.

.

Considering what this winter’s been like around the country, maybe we should have him shot.

The Internet in general is pretty useful. What we need are 364 Stay Off Social Media days.

Thanks for the nod to National Wetlands Day. Wetlands are a sadly underappreciated contributor to our natural environment, too easily dismissed with jokes like “I’ve got some Florida swampland to sell you.”

It’s kind of like.. supply and demand. Plus, I think, fanfare. Ol’ Puxy gets allot of attention and fanfare.

Before the internet, I would just spend hours in the library.

Some people spend their time naming days this stuff. I don’t care.

I had a heavenly hash made with tater tots and ground hog (pork sausage) this morning. With two freshly collected eggs.

Seniority – Groundhog Day was here first
