Broom Hilda by Russell Myers for February 05, 2011

First you do it right. Then you do it fast.

That chlorine will eventually kill the shark Broomie if you can last long enough.

That’s Broomie in the pool with a fake shark fin. How sadistic.

The fresh water will do the shark in Broomie. Hang tough.

I feel a ZAP coming on.

Zap the fin. Zap and go faster. Either way Broomie, you got it made.

Does Broomie’s three letter power work underwater?

Actually the fresh water may not do the shark in. There have been several times when sharks have been discovered a few hundred miles up the Mississippi.

Why does the shark want that little witch when there’s a big ball of blubber right next to the pool?

All I see is a fin!

But the toxic chemical soup they fill our swimming pools with is a long way from “fresh water” Gladiator!

It’s not whether her ZAP! works under water that’s the question. It’s whether it works when some funnier alternative is available.

On that grounds, the First Law of Cartoon Physics has robbed Broomie of her ZAP! - temporarily.
