Broom Hilda by Russell Myers for August 29, 2009

Funny thing about those miracle cures….

Sisyphos: Thanks for the tango dancers yesterday, bellisimo!

Her nose runs and her feet smell? She’s built upside down! Old, old, old…

You’re forgiven, Steve.

You’re welcome, Marg.

You’re such a lovable phoney, Broomie!

Why bother.

Why not bother? When you’re a vulture and live with a 1500-year-old witch and two trolls, any excuse for a change of pace is a good excuse.

Broomie will ZAP the pins

Placebo effect

Hey I have all that, and I have to cut the grass this afternoon.

I finally decided to find out what “lumbago” means, and the Amer. Heritage Dict. 4th Ed. says “A painful condition of the lower back, as one resulting from muscle strain or a slipped disk.” So Broomie is saying her back hurts twice?

if someone else is paying, i’m there …..

I look at Broomie’s dialogue in the second panel, and I can’t help hearing an Irish accent. Of course, she is green…

Yesterday, Rakkav asked the following question:

JoeAllenDoty, here’s an honest question: how come you can suspend disbelief so readily, in the forest of BroomHilda, but not in the locales of 2 Cows and a Chicken? The one is just as surreal in its own way as the other.

So I checked it out, because I have never looked at that strip before. And as far as I am concerned, 2 Cows and a Chicken is not really seriously trying to be surreal. I don’t think they are as creative as the author of BroomHilda.

Anyway, that answers the question for me.

@Margaritem, what tango dancers are you referring to? I didn’t see any.

No way could BroomHilda not be speaking in an Irish accent. I have a very good ear, and I heard(saw?) it very clearly. (I guess I have a visual ear too.)

Is someone saying that BroomHilda lives with TROLLS? Do they mean Erwin (Irwin?) and Nerwin)? But those two are much too cute to be trolls!

I suppose that’s the way to win over a person.

SherlockWatson Love your name. ;)
