Only ever asked about the seasons, an irritated groundhog leaves for vacation in a huff. Finding that no one else can do Groundhog's job, the mayor delivers a passionate plea on network TV. Convinced to return home, Groundhog is gratified by all the non-weather-related appreciation he's shown. Expressive, humorous illustrations help fill out the one-note joke.
