Broom Hilda by Russell Myers for July 13, 2009

Poor Broomie is now the test for defective brains….

I think the name was abby normal.

Inefficient Igor brings bad brain, again! Broomie called “good-lookin’ “!

That happened to me once………

HMM! nice to see someone give ol’ Broomie a compliment.

Oh, give him to Broomie and start over!

Changing somebody (or thing) that gets a smile like that from Broomie might not be a good way to start the week.

maybe his brain is OK, he just has really REALLY bad eyes?

There is a special someone somewhere for each of us.

True, John, but for too many people it’s the mirror.

Classic Broomie! I love it! I’m afraid you’re right, Addadad.

“And you smell good too!”

As Dean Martin once sang; “Everybody Loves Somebody, Sometime”

Aaaaah sweet misery of love at last I found you!

By the way, in the classic 1930s movie, Dr. Frankenstein’s lab assistant wasn’t named Igor.

He was Fritz.

What does this word EGAD means, before he adresses Igor? In the last case. Shouldn’t that have been EILAS ? Someone couldn’t read the handwriting of the cartoonist?

Egad is a mild epithet. It is considered archaic and hasn’t been in common usage for decades. The comic character of Major Hoople used it regularly.

“Egad” is actually (in its origins) a euphemism for “Ye gods”, which wasn’t such a mild epithet once upon a time.

Thanks for explaining guys!
