We're a little lacking in the comedy this year in the Groundhog Day roundup. We lack the pure comedy nirvana that was the picture of Wiarton Willie from a couple years back, which I unfortunately can't find. Willie had gone to the great burrow in the sky, and depending on who you ask, his handlers were either:
a. Forced to announce the tragic news and show pictures of Willie in the casket the day after.
b. Prop him up like an albino groundhog aparatchik for the May Day parade.

Still, there's some good stuff out there:
A groundhog being directed to try the Atkins diet, but instead choosing to eat his door
and a groundhog demanding legal remedy against his rivals.
