Broom Hilda by Russell Myers for January 18, 2021

Should have used the broom and flown today, Broomie!

Somewhere up at the front is a little old man with white hair, a bowler hat, and his left turn signal still flashing after five miles while he’s going about 12 MPH.

I’m going to assume she’s talking to Nerwin.

Maybe you should try standing real close to the guy ahead to see if that will make him wait faster.

I lived in SoCal for a decade and generally the pileups are in the speeding lane.

Car Conga Line!

Activate the auto-pilot.

Witch cell carrier does she use?

The old Belvidere is gonna need some serious body work.

she should have brought her broom along.

Since Broomie’s back tire isn’t flat like the others, she can still back up and switch lanes.

Now it’s the tow lane.

Now that’s what I call a tailgate party

Lead, follow or get out of the way!

Hoo boy Broomie….

Well. Here’s another fine mess you’ve gotten us into!

If you hadn’t rear-ended that first guy ahead of you, the whole road would be smooth sailing, Broomie! —And you, a (pretend) driving instructor!

This is what happens when a whole string of cars are each following way too close to the car ahead of them. Nobody even has time to react, much less room to stop safely.

Yeah, so the guy way in the front of the line is driving 5 mph below the speed limit. That doesn’t excuse everyone behind him for not giving themselves ample stopping distance.
