Broom Hilda by Russell Myers for April 22, 2023

Not a long enough of a drop.

Surely, this can’t be the end of our Broomie!!!

Mother of Mercy!! Is this the end of Broomie? (paraphrase of Edward G. Robinson’s last line in LITTLE CAESAR).

No worries. She’s just waiting on her rescuers. Just like Cat Ballou………..

Broomie just turned the executioner into a newt!

No worries!

That’s it for me. I’m not looking at anything by a cartoonist who thinks execution is funny.

Yes can’t kill an evil witch by hanging. It takes water. But, our Broomie is so adorable, she can’t be harmed by this, can she?

She’ll be fine— since Broomie really doesn’t have a neck, the noose will just slip over her head!

Hopefully her magic will save the day!

Wow… this is an extreme way to make a strip end.

The Lord of Ga​y will save her! ☺

Broomie…no!

Her broom is hovering just below the platform.

Inspiration for Japanese director Nagisa Ōshima?

20 foot rope for a 8 foot fall!

The rope was too long and she landed on her feet. Yip yip yip yip yip

it was just like an “act of passage for a witch” for her.

This must be flashback to when she was hanging with Attila.

Rude…..!

Starting in this space tomorrow: Ziggy reruns!

Hangman, hangman, hold it a little while

Think I see my friends coming

Riding a many mile

Friends did you get some silver?

Did you get a little gold?

What did you bring me my dear friends

To keep me from the gallows pole?

What did you bring me to keep me from the gallows pole?

Broomie has no neck! She’ll survive!

This isn’t Broomie’s kind of necktie party! On the other hand getting her neck stretched might improve her looks….
