The Born Loser by Art and Chip Sansom for February 02, 2023

Or it was cloudy.

Oh, HH, you know groundhogs don’t wear glasses.

Count from Groundhog Day until the first official day os spring. It is just about six weeks.

I never argue with Hattie, you won’t win

It means that Hurricane Hattie will come up with some lame answer to the question.

Phil is facing East, the rising sun is blinding him. Since he’s facing the wrong direction, Phil’s shadow is behind him.

I have some ground hog in the refrigerator. He’s not seeing anything .

Scientifically it means and proves nothing, teacher. You should know that, being a teacher. Hattie indeed does have the correct answer.

Well it’s time to pop some popcorn and cue up that Bill Murray flick.

do they even have any in that size? :\

Her school has a no hats rule. Our office had the same rule, but we embraced diversity, until one of our employees wanted to wear a hat. Then the showdown, corporate rules won, and she quit shortly thereafter.

Whatever you want it to mean but the weather will do whatever mother nature wants it to do regardless……

I know, comics lead time and all, but officially, he did see it… ☺

Another day, another good one, Hattie!

Hattie is either sarcastic or really good at “sight” gags.

Sounds reasonable…..

That’ll teach the Teacher not to call on Hatie for the answers. You’d think she would have learned by now.

“And when it’s twelve o’clock,

we climb the stair

Hattie is well named since she is a perfect example of the saying regarding an ill wind, she’s the Hurricane that doesn’t blows any good.

It means the groundhog lives in central Ohio

THIS JUST IN:

Phyllis, the ex-wife of Punxsutawney Phil, lives in Florida now. She says Phil is a compulsive liar.

The little FRECKLED girl makes huge waves in class.

it means he’s up to mischief

Hattie CAN sit in a chair.

Never got out of bed…

Is that Gladys, no wonder she can’t cook…

love the apple on the teacher’s desk. are teachers even allowed to receive apples anymore…?

But the groundhog did see his shadow, so the teacher is basing her question on an incorrect premise.

Yes, I know this strip was probably written weeks before the actual Groundhog Day, so no one knew whether that dumb rodent would see his shadow, but that problem could easily have been handled by writing the dialog in the conditional. “Class, who can tell me what it means if the groundhog doesn’t see his shadow today?”
