In a patriotic fever while waiting for the 4th of July?
Learn About...

...and try to forget it's also (ironically) the 76th birthday of disgraced, twice-impeached, ex-President Don (the Con) Trump!

Coloring goof: the Union soldiers in panel 5 are wearing Confederate gray!

Why is this 1955 comic entitled "Every Day's a Holly Day" instead of "Every Day's a Holiday"?

Because it was given away to kids by grocers who sold Holly Sugar!

Illustrated by John Rosenberger, it's a unique pamphlet covering a number of American holidays, including both Lincoln and Washington's Birthdays (before they were combined into "Presidents' Day" in 1962), Mothers' Day (though not Fathers' Day), Flag Day, Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving, and a couple of holidays we've largely abandoned...Pan-American Day and American Indian Day!
Note: We're gearing up for our traditional multi-blog Summer Blogathons which we'll announce the week before the 4th of July weekend and begin the week after!

Trump Reading Room EVERY DAY IS A HOLLY DAY "Pan-American Day"

Here's a holiday I'm sure Don (the John) Trump is glad we've abandoned!

The idea of us actually working with those South of the Border is anthema to such as Don the John.

President Obama re-enegerized the idea in 2015, extending it to a week!

Don the John followed it with a less-than-enthuisastic proclamation in 2017, making the usual bellicose veiled threats against the other American countries.

I suggest you read both links, then compare and contrast the attitudes presented by both Presidential proclamations!

Why is this comic entitled "Every Day is a Holly Day" instead of "Every Day is a Holiday"?
