Broom Hilda by Russell Myers for September 10, 2023

Witch way to sanity?

Guess we’ll find out tomorrow if it worked.

Not much land there to live off of.

I have no clue how a palm tree looks inside. Is it possible to carve a new broomstick from palm tree?

Maybe Gilligan and the Skipper could be of help.

When in trouble, when in doubt. Run in circles, scream and shout.

So Gaylord’s a flightless buzzard?

I always wondered why Broomie doesn’t seem to have any magic powers, other than the ability to ride a broom?

Why didn’t Gilligan’s crew think of that

And don’t forget to scribble “HELP” in the sand!

Shouldn’t have overloaded the broom

yeah…giving up to panic sure is the “best reaction”…

♪♫ "Broom, Broom, Broom of the Bungle,

Watch out for that sea!" ♪♫

Never pass up the opportunity for a good panic I always say.

Reminds me of the time a ship carrying red paint collided with a ship carrying blue paint. The crews were marooned for weeks.

Yup, don’t worry. If this is like the “survival” show they will soon feed you steaks and you can vote the broom of the island for a terrible crash landing.

I have never seen a broom crumple is usually just shatters

Seems like the sensible thing to do, not sure it’s gonna help much.

Service your broom before you go on a long flight with passengers, dummy…

When I was in High School back in the 60’s, I was in the Air Force Junior ROTC. In the USAF, the primary stepping stones to attain high rank was to become a pilot. I would’ve been disqualified at the time because of my height (6 foot 2 inches) and my wearing of corrective lenses (nearsighted). I wonder if those restrictions still exist today?

Broomie is obviously from a different offshoot of witch than Samantha from “Bewitched”, otherwise she could just wiggle her nose, and they’d be back home.

If the palm tree has coconuts, you are saved (for now). If not, you had better figure out how to distill ocean water pretty darn quick.

Food from the sea, possible. I don’t see Anything resembling berries or any other fruit except maybe dates or coconuts, and I don’t think date palms grow on islands. Not much there to make a shelter, which you may need against the sun and/or rain if not cold (palms…). Yep, time to panic.

Panic may be the best (rather, least bad) policy when all your rational alternatives seem likely to fizzle out on that mostly-barren little island, where Broomie crashed her broom yet again! How many times have I said the Witches’ FAA ought to yank her license?!

Make a flying broom out of the palms.
