Broom Hilda by Russell Myers for May 06, 2010

But………..were you expecting the Inquisition???

No one expects the Spanish Inquisition!

Your lucky day mister. She didn’t turn you into a toad.

Let’s give the guy credit: he tried to compliment her, but Broomie caught him off-guard with her interrogation!

Never look a gift compliment in the mouth.

Sure, green is cute.

I read that last panel and thought, How long will it take for someone to say, “Well, I didn’t expect the Spanish Inquisition.”

Don’t feel bad, Broomie! You ARE cute … in a sort of dwarfish, green, wrinkled, hideous way, but cute nonetheless.

So ugly she’s cute, that’s our Broomie.

A simple thank you would have sufficed, Broomie.

“I love you”, he said.

“Do you really love me?” she asked.

“Yes, I really love you”, he replied.

“Do you really, REALLY love me?”

“No, I don’t really, REALLY love you.”

“But you love me?”

“Yes, I love you.”

And they lived reasonably happily ever after.

We know how to make him talk - get out the Comfy Chair!

Years ago at work a new guy hired on…

I didn’t meet him right away and when he was walking down the hall my best friend said “don’t ask that guy how’s he doing”…I asked my friend “why not? He said “well I made that mistake the other day and that new guy started telling me how his wife left him, his dog died, and he needed to borrow money”…..

I just kept walkin’

When people ask “how are you” they don’t really want to know - or care.

It could have been worse. He could have told her that on April 1.

Johanan Rakkav: I used to have a dog like that.

Pastor Charlie Sheen’s daughter once had a beau like that - this was the phrase so used to describe him (in Letters to Karen).

Next time don’t get so close to him, Broomie; his glasses work a lot better on near objects than on far ones.

Charlie Sheen’s a clergyman? I’m impressed. Is there no end to that man’s talents?

I once read a story wherein one teenage girl was describing the male generative organ to another, who had never seen one. She called it “So ugly it’s kind of beautiful, like Freddie Mercury.”
