Coming Soon š At the beginning of April, youāll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
I wonder what the first strip looked like. It might have been in our local morning paper but we got the evening edition with Archie, Dondi and Kerry Drake.
Happy Anniversary, Broomie! Thanks, Russ, for 50 years of laughs and heart-hugs. Iām 61 and can hardly believe Iāve been reading Broomie since I was 11. (See, Nerwin, you will need math at some point.)
Great work, Mr. Myers, wow! Iāve been reading your work since the beginning, back in the days when the Detroit Free Press was a newspaper all on its own.
Many congratulations on the anniversary. Broomhilda has given me much pleasure over the years. I am continually amazed at the creativity that, more often than not, delivers amusement so regularly.
I have been reading Broom Hilda for 50 years ā the strip started a little less than 5 months before becoming a legal adult (21 then). I have used one of Broomieās expressions from way back ā¦ she said āI just choked on a volley of swear words.ā It still makes me laugh!
Congrats to Russell Meyers! Cartoons change visually over time. Just look at āPeanuts.ā They also change emotionally. GoComics recently restarted āCitizen Dog,ā and Fergus the dog went from being an a**hole to a loving if naughty dog.
There isnāt enough botox in this world for our lovable little green witch, who claims to be only 1500 years old (but we know better)! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
And congratulations to Russell Myers! A strip a day, 365/year, 50 yearsāthatās over 18000 Broom-Hilda strips, all of them ace humor!
Iām a ānewbieā daily reader, just starting back in 2013 (with the exception of one strip printed in an āAntique Autosā magazine in the ā70s. It involved Irwin ordering a new Hudson automobile and Gaylord pointing out that they were no longer built. I also remember seeing it in the morning paper when copies were left lying around in the menās room at work (the 1980s). Thank you for all your work and I hope you continue as long as you find pleasure in drawing the strip.
Iāve been with Broomie since the very first day she appeared in the San Jose Mercury/News. I was 14 at the time. Itās a pain being older than Broomie, especially when she says sheās 1500 years oldā¦ Happy anniversary!!!

See Broomie, giving up those cigars helped you keep looking a youthful 1300 instead of 1550
