Broom Hilda by Russell Myers for November 25, 2009

I thought that the whale was in love with her? Must have been a passing fancy…or gas…..

Call you new boyfriend to save you!

If the whale were feminine and chasing after Irwin, then Broomie could be singing the following (desperately!) as they motor away…

La donna è mobile Qual piuma al vento, Muta d’accento — e di pensiero. Sempre un amabile, Leggiadro viso, In pianto o in riso, — è menzognero. È sempre misero Chi a lei s’affida, Chi le confida — mal cauto il cuore! Pur mai non sentesi Felice appieno Chi su quel seno — non liba amore!

English Translation:

Woman is flighty Like a feather in the wind, She changes her voice — and her mind. Always sweet, Pretty face, In tears or in laughter, — she is always lying. Always miserable Is he who trusts her, He who confides in her — his unwary heart! Yet one never feels Fully happy Who on that bosom — does not drink love!

Another jilted lover song….

Hi, Rakkav!

What kind of bait do you use to catch a whale?

I think this is a classic case of “bait and switch.”

Could it be that Nerwin tried to do some fishing and angered the great whale? Note the fishing rod flying along side the whale and the line in her teeth as she’s going full steam ahead.

Yeah, trying to use light tackle to catch a whale was probably a mistake…. On the other hand, if Broomie and Irwin survive, they might give some though to competitive light outboard boat-racing!

EDIT: Johanan: Enrico Caruso, La donna è mobile, 1907.

Looks like the could do with a bigger rod next time

Hey Broomie…….your finger, use your finger. ZAP!!!

Bait for whales is Winky’s spleen.

This could be yesterday’s whale’s jilted girlfriend.

Susan001, maybe an increase in dosage might be in order

Very nice, Sisyphos! :)

He just wants to whale on her and send her wailing.

Whale week, part 3.

Where’s her broom when she needs it?

Because that would violate the First Law of Cartoon Physics: “Only When It’s Funny”. :))

Right, dude? ;)
