Broom Hilda by Russell Myers for June 23, 2022

I don’t think Broomie would be good eating guys. She is tough as a boot.

“It’s a cookbook!” One of the most famous lines from TWILIGHT ZONE.

They’re probably going to make a sandwitch.

I wouldn’t eat Broomie, too green.

I do not think that I trust these aliens.

This gag has been used in dozens of cartoons.

Comas save lives.

Let’s eat, Broom Hilda.

vs

Let’s eat Broom Hilda.

Beware of food that zaps back.

Green Eggs and Ham…and witch to go with them…

UH oooh! Fly away, fly away Broomy! Now

They’re going to need a lot of meat tenderizer and herbs.

Twilight Zone Season 3 Episode 24

Damon Knight, 1950. Nine years before Rod Serling’s adaptation.

“To Serve Man”. (Get it on Amazon just in time for your next cook out.)

While Rod Serling was an excellent writer, his Twilight Zone adaptations were his way of showcasing the world of amazing science fiction writers to the general public. With an occasional original story thrown in as well.

There are lots of Zoners in the World. Yeah SciFy Channel.

Love the landing feet of the saucer & wind up key on top!

A really old Twilight Zone. Centered around a book the Alien visitors had, ‘To Serve Man." When translated it turned out to be a cookbook. Bless Rod Sterling’s creative mind.

Be careful Broomie, they want to put you in a blender and turn you into Green Goddess dressing.

Ah the age old aliens eat you plot.

I would say they were purple people eaters but they do not match the “one eyed, one horned” description in the old song.

Broomie looks a bit dubious as Space Chef #2 measures her: she won’t require a terribly large pot!

Loved the Damon Knight 1950 short story….

“To Serve Witch”.
