Broom Hilda by Russell Myers for January 17, 2023

Try giving the door a good zap. That might do it.

Why a shelter? You could go shoosting up to OZ and be one of the witches.

A continuing story on “Broom Hilda”?! Who drew this and what have they done with Russell Myers?

Good thing she also neglected to put a latch on the door!

Haven’t seen much of Broomie’s witch powers except zapping. Maybe now?

Hmmm. Since there’s no latch give it a push?

Oops…

Broomie, the internal door relief is spelled P U S H. There’s appears to be no external latches, just a handle. A tornado would open the door for you.

That looks to be a great Broomie Cave, or Broomie Fallout Cave. She can go there to get away from all the political (gay!ord) fallout.

She forgot to stock weapons, but then I remembered silly me, she has the ZAP!!!

Yip yip yip yip yip

Push, you idjit! Or look in the boxes. Maybe there’s one in there.

Looks like she’ll have to zap her way out of there.

Gasp! Someone please let me outta heeeeere‼️

well, her reserve won’t resist 5 minutes for sure…don’t ask her to even just CONSIDER zapping her door open. while they others are enjoying the calm period…BEFORE THE TEMPEST!

There’s nothing exciting out there.

Its ok, the hinges are on the inside!

My grandparents had a storm cellar on their farm. It was a few steps from their kitchen door. That was what was wrong the movie ‘Twister’. No Midwest farm would have its storm cellar so far from the house. The storm cellar doubled as an underground pantry to store canned goods and potatoes from the garden.

Oops!

Did you make it waterproof? how about air tight? This could get interesting.

You don’t need supplies other than a flashlight in a tornado shelter. You usually only need to be in it about 5 to 10 minutes.

Now it’s the tomb of the well-known witch.

I can almost hear William Dozier voicing, “Zounds! Is this the end for Brommie? Tune in next week, same broom time, same broom channel.”

You’re a witch. You can make it open.

Just push up…

Ruh-roh. Trapped in the underground shelter? I can hardly wait to see how Broom-Hilda extricates herself from this latchless dilemma….
