Broom Hilda by Russell Myers for April 20, 2020

Crongratulation’s,Russell. Keep up the good work.

See Broomie, giving up those cigars helped you keep looking a youthful 1300 instead of 1550

I wonder what the first strip looked like. It might have been in our local morning paper but we got the evening edition with Archie, Dondi and Kerry Drake.

Wow! That long!! Great work, Russell! Keep it up as long as you want. Keep drawing those wonderful trees.

Wow!!!!

Can’t be botox, boys – she has a very expressive face! Have you really looked at a “botox-ed” face?

Hi Russell. That is one mighty achievement. Congratulations and very well done. Great entertainment

Happy 50th! Get yourself a facelift.

Happy Anniversary!

I think it’s more self-zapping than anything else…anyway, Happy 50th to you all!

Thank you for 50 years of laughter.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BROOMIE 11111☺☺♥♥

Happy 50th Broom Hilda!

I miss the Grebler… “free insults”… maybe that is why kids are so sensitive today!

50 years of classic comedy in strip format! Happy anniversary!

Congratulation! That’s a long time to come up with daily strips!

Congrats, Broomie!

Congrats Russel Myers. I remember reading Broom Hilda in the Sunday Funnies growing up. So great to see it still going strong. :)

Congrats! 50 years, WOW! May we be lucky enough to have many more years of Broomie!

Congratulations on 50 years of giggles~

Congratulations Russell Myers!

Happy Anniversary, Broomie! Thanks, Russ, for 50 years of laughs and heart-hugs. I’m 61 and can hardly believe I’ve been reading Broomie since I was 11. (See, Nerwin, you will need math at some point.)

Congratulations and thanks to Broomie, Gaylord, Irwin, Nerwin, and the whole gang. Oh, and to Russell Myers too.

Great work, Mr. Myers, wow! I’ve been reading your work since the beginning, back in the days when the Detroit Free Press was a newspaper all on its own.

Congrats on your 50th! I started reading this strip in the mid 70’s in the, New York Daily News!

50 years on top of 1500 is about 3%. About a day in the life of a puppy.

happy bday broomie. i remember your first comic

This was started 4 days after I was started. Happy anniversary.

Happy 50th, Russel. Thanks for all the laughs

Congrats, Russ! An incredible milestone! Here’s to the next…..ummm….

Mazel tov! Well done, Mr. Myers! :-D

Russell, thanks for the memories!

Congratulations!

Thank you, sir for all the joy. Broomie is great.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BROOM HILDA!!!!

April 20, 1970 was a Monday too! Does that work for every 50 years?

Congratulation on 50 years. Thanks for the laughs.

Clearly her secret isn’t Botox; it’s India Ink.

Congratulations Russell, that is a milestone accomplishment!!!

does she have been saying she’s 1500 since 50 years ago?

Adding my congratulations! Broom Hilda is UNFAILINGLY funny, and always makes me smile! Happy 50th!!!

Nice. Happy anniversary.

congrats on your 50th anniversary! your comic is on my list of comics i view daily.

Many congratulations on the anniversary. Broomhilda has given me much pleasure over the years. I am continually amazed at the creativity that, more often than not, delivers amusement so regularly.

Congrats. Here’s to many more.

Congratulations Russell! Wow, 50 years!

It’s strange when some people look older when they’re younger and younger when they’re older…

Happy Anniversary, Broomie, gurl! You don’t look a day over 29…….LOL!

I have been reading Broom Hilda for 50 years – the strip started a little less than 5 months before becoming a legal adult (21 then). I have used one of Broomie’s expressions from way back … she said “I just choked on a volley of swear words.” It still makes me laugh!

Ding Dong. The witch isn’t dead !

Congrats to Russell Meyers! Cartoons change visually over time. Just look at “Peanuts.” They also change emotionally. GoComics recently restarted “Citizen Dog,” and Fergus the dog went from being an a**hole to a loving if naughty dog.

Congratulations Russell Myers

Congratulations!! I’ve been reading it since I was 17!

Congratulations! Keep up the good work!

When you are 1500 years old, 50 years is a drop in the bucket. Congratulations Broomie and Russell Myers!

Congratulations, Broomie and Russell!

I enjoy your strip very much, thanks for the smiles

Congratulations on 50 wonderful years of Broom Hilda! :)

Congrats on 50 years!!

CONGRATULATIONS!

Wow!

Well done, sir, well done indeed!!!!!!!!!!!! ;-)

I’d forgotten about the cigar.

Congratulations to Russell Myers!

I’ve literally been reading this most of the last 50 years since I was a kid. Thanks for being a part of my life for that daily smile.

1550 is the new 1500!

There isn’t enough botox in this world for our lovable little green witch, who claims to be only 1500 years old (but we know better)! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

And congratulations to Russell Myers! A strip a day, 365/year, 50 years—that’s over 18000 Broom-Hilda strips, all of them ace humor!

I remember reading Broom Hilda in my early teens. I’m 62 now! Gotta love it!

I’m a ‘newbie’ daily reader, just starting back in 2013 (with the exception of one strip printed in an “Antique Autos” magazine in the ‘70s. It involved Irwin ordering a new Hudson automobile and Gaylord pointing out that they were no longer built. I also remember seeing it in the morning paper when copies were left lying around in the men’s room at work (the 1980s). Thank you for all your work and I hope you continue as long as you find pleasure in drawing the strip.

Happy Anniversary, Russ!

Awesome!!! Happy Anniversary!!

I have always loved Broom Hilda, thank you for sharing your humor and artistry with us! ❤️

She was 1500 years old then and now she is 1550 years old. You don’t look a day over 1400, Broomie!

I’ve been with Broomie since the very first day she appeared in the San Jose Mercury/News. I was 14 at the time. It’s a pain being older than Broomie, especially when she says she’s 1500 years old… Happy anniversary!!!
