#85 The Groundhog

Animalia: Day 68
The Groundhog

Shoulder up y'r gun and whistle up y'r dog.
Shoulder up y'r gun and whistle up y'r dog.
Off to the woods for to catch a groundhog.
Oh, groundhog.

When I was little I wondered why it had to be a groundhog.
Why couldn't they just check any old object's shadow.
Then it occurred to me that maybe groundhogs sometimes don't have shadows,
like vampire reflections. It's probably disconcerting to
wake up and find that you've lost your shadow.
Groundhogs are the vampires of the underworld.

Plus, bonus groundhog from the vaults.
Drew this for my girlfriend about a year and a half ago:
