LOL I had forgotten it was Groundhog Day until I saw this strip! I’ll stay off of TV and social media today to avoid hearing about either Punxsutawney Phil OR Phil Connors.
First time that I can recall, the additional (throw-away) panels at the start could stand alone and are actually funnier than the rest of the strip – IMO!

Subtle movie reference in the throw-away panel.

Sad to see Phil’s guards turn on him.

A metaphor for man trying to control the weather.

If he goes back to bed quietly, he won’t see his shadow, Then everyone will be happy.

You’ve got the wrong guy. I’m just a groundhog. You want the groundhog, over in the next town, and he already texted me that he saw his shadow.

Shouldn’t they be helping him see his shadow… so that the extended winter can help combat global warming?

The guards don’t show shadows either. Must have clouded over really fast.

There will be no ‘shadow seeing’ here fuzzy face. Just duck and cover, you.
