Year Three of Groundhog Day

All the other countries in the world and the aliens must think we are just astoundingly crazy.

From the Wikipedia:

 Groundhog Day  is a popular North American tradition observed in the United States and Canada on February 2. It derives from the Pennsylvania Dutch superstition that if a groundhog emerges from its burrow on this day and sees its shadow due to clear weather, it will retreat to its den, and winter will go on for six more weeks; if it does not see its shadow because of cloudiness, spring will arrive early.


To others, it's this movie and then ironically? or prophetically? it became 2020-2023




Then I searched "Vintage Groundhogs Day" because a search that includes "vintage" usually brings postcards or greeting cards or advertisements.

INSTEAD, I got this creepy, maybe a little threatening, cartoon that was featured in Jack and Jill Magazine in 1957. A Children's magazine, nonetheless.



So, Happy Groundhog Day to those who celebrate. Or Happy Every Other Day to everyone else.
