Broom Hilda by Russell Myers for April 24, 2010

Hats off to Broomie!

Short-sighted?

Teach you to wear a 20 gallon hat, Broomie!

She’s lucky, that sort of thing doesn’t always work.

I have the broken glasses that prove some thugs will hit kids who are wearing them!

Oh, Oh! I think Broomie’s in love.

That’s not fair. Broomie isn’t even wearing a gun.

Who needs a gun when you have a ZAP!?

Why ZAP when you can use your wits?

‘cause itl isn’t fair to have a wit battle with an unarmed person.

Ya, just like Hawkeye and Frank in MASH.

Broomie IS wearing a gun in the first frame. I don’t know what happened to it in the rest of the frames.

Some big guys shoot little kids in my city.

Wouldn’t small size be an advantage in a shootout?

chromosome, I’d think so, a small person would be much less of a target.

250 gallon hats will get you in deep.

First draft:

Broomie – “Pic on someone your own size!” Other guy – “Why? I wanna win!” Broomie – “My feelings exactly.” [ZAP!]
