Broom Hilda by Russell Myers for November 30, 2009

Did it make a pass at you?

Did it try for a touch down?

I should’ve known I would kick something like this off.

(OK, I admit it, that’s an edited joke.)

Do you manage to score with it?

Our Little Green Pigskin Princess! –BTW, I like Broomie’s self-reflection taking place in a TV screen-like insert-panel….

Memories can get a lil vague after all that time!

Ah, she finally found a date that couldn’t run away from her!

I wonder how old she was in high school. I don’t think it’d been invented yet back when she was a teenager!

Saw that one coming.

It must have been a long bomb.

high school ……the best 7 years of broomies life

Is that cousin itt? or Captain caveman?

She must have fumbled.

I think someone got tackled, and there was a pile-on; I’m not too clear about the details.

Huddle or cuddle?

Joe, here’s a reality check (so to speak) from the right margin:

Living in an enchanted forest with surrealistic landscapes, the engaging characters of Broom Hilda happily have no connection with reality. Other comic characters are extensions or distortions of reality, but Broom Hilda deals in pure fantasy, making the strip bewitchingly unique. Here in the forest, the inhabitants maintain a standard of madness where total irrelevance is the only relevancy. The strip is simply a loony-bin where what’s said and done often makes no sense whatsoever, much to the joy of its millions of fans.

This is no strip in which to hoist yourself by your own petard of consistent over-literalness.
