Broom Hilda by Russell Myers for August 15, 2023

Broomie DIED !!

You mean she’s no longer with us??!!

Tuba solo tuba solo!

Oh, she fell asleep again on her broom. Quick, Broomie, zapp this Tuba and retact to a lower route for flying. Beneath the clouds! Not above.

Now everyone will want one!

You can never have enough tubas.

Better than bagpipes, I suppose.

Is there a drum section? I’ve always wanted to play percussion.

All good songs start with a tuba solo.

Tuba or not tuba…that is the question…

The only one? She’s gonna have fun with that.

Broomie’s near death experience!

Ooooompa ooooommpapa!

best way to send her back for eternity, huh?

That’s how I got the oboe in high school orchestra. My friend got the bassoon and I got the oboe.

“Now, play ‘Wipeout’ or…hmmm…‘Inna Gadda Da Vida’.”

At least she didn’t go down under

A wind instrument for a windy Broomie.

It figures.

Polish Heaven???

i want bagpipes

I was going to post a link to “Dueling Tubas” here, but GoComics’s censorship logic now seems to be deleting URLs. Go figure.

I’m a trumpet player myself…

Maybe it is he11, given the tuba she would have to live with for eternity

Nightmare of the future…

You have to pull some strings to get a harp.

Reminds me of an old Far Side cartoon:“Welcome to Heaven — here’s your harp!”“Welcome to Hell — here’s your accordion!”

Maybe they are playing in the key of C Sharp. C Sharp is a crazy hard key to play anything in whether on a tenor or 5-string banjo, flute, or bag pipes! Cognitive PT. Playing the same song on a tenor & 5 string banjo.

There can’t be tubas in Heaven. Harry Dresden assured us that polka would never die!

What! No clarinets? What kinda band it this?

I’ll take a flute if they have one.

What instruments do they play in Hell?

Dreaming

What’s this? Broomie has expired and gone to Heaven?!

She and Mr. Penguin Opus now will have something in common….
