Broom Hilda by Russell Myers for October 31, 2023

I was at a bar last night when a guy came over and asked me out….Okay, it was the bouncer and he wasn’t asking.

Abe Lincoln was just looking for an excuse to cancel on her.

Are we sure it was our Civil War? At 1,500 years old it could have been Britain’s Civil War(s) 1642-1651.

Which side, Broomie…Union or Confederate?

He was too Cavalier with her.

He was such a Rebel to do so Broomie.

The Civil War wasn’t very civil.

July 14, 1861 Camp Clark, Washington

My very dear Broomhilda:

Witches have a devil of a time getting a date!

Frankly, my dear, he didn’t give a d@mn.

It might be your tendency to zap people.

About a date with her, I can’t imagine anything “coming up”.

Great, colorful art, love it…

Okaaaay.

Sometimes Broomie’s friends aren’t as supportive as they could be….
