Broom Hilda by Russell Myers for August 28, 2023

She must be taking them on an empty stomach.

I didn’t realize GoComics has such great health care.

Yup, I got so many prescriptions I rattle too.

Wow, that would be the best side effects ever!

1,500 years old… The stories she could tell! (If she could remember them.)

So do I!

Especially when she shakes and rolls…

My doctor prescribed pills for my depression. Every time I look at them I cheer up.

The less the better…oy

the caloric intake allows me to skip a meal.

So do I, Broomie.

She lived most of those 1500 years without meds. She’ll probably live 1500 more without them.

“Hey! All these are from Dr. Ludlow Peaswatter!”

“He’s a very General Practitioner…”

I’m only a fraction of 1500 years old, and I just picked up 9 yesterday.

All those pills went right to her head…

Only 2 of those treat something, the others are to treat the side effects of the 2 pills.

cheerful rattling sound!!!!!

Anyone here old enough to remember Disney’s “the Sword in the Stone” about King Arthur, and one of the characters, a comical witch named “Madam Mim” who loses a wizard’s duel with Merlin?

After the cartoon film flopped, Mim showed up in Donald Duck comic books. She claimed to have “reformed” though the Beagle Boys were often trying to involve her in their schemes.

I bring it up because Broomie reminds me a lot of Mim. I wonder if Mim was the inspiration for Broom Hilda.

she is CHEERFUL? when?

Actually, the rattling comes from her rocks for brains. The pill business is to throw you off! ;-p

That’s about all the Pill Pushers are worth, Broomie, you little round green rattle, you!
