Broom Hilda by Russell Myers for October 21, 2009

She’s got you pegged, Nerwin.

Nerwin, you need new friends.

Nerwin, you brought that on yourself! Flossie named no names; so, Nerwin, my lad, if the shoe fits, wear it!

Nerwin resembles that remark.

I noticed that. Maybe she’s whispering.

Too bad Ayn Rand isn’t around to see this. Nerwin distills Peter Keating from “The Fountainhead” and James Taggart from “Atlas Shrugged”.

Just because someone else is smarter or stronger or harder working than someone else does not make that second person any dumber or weaker or lazier. I’m hugely grateful for all the smart, strong, hard-working people in the world who make my life so much easier, safer, richer, and more fun.

Today’s strip is classic comic humor, and once again some people are taking it way too seriously. One gets the feeling that if these people were told a “knock knock” joke, they’d start ranting about the merits of doorbells versus knockers.

(I said “knockers” – hee hee!)

Making straight As was never something I had to worry about.

Ahh, love is in the air! (not)

Flossie’s being awfully quiet today. She got laryngitis?

B students do the most work–A students do EVERYTHING, C students are the ones that do no work and ace the tests. I’m proud to be a B student who measures exactly how much I have to do to succeed.

Never made straight A’s. At best I was a crooked A student.

Flossie is right. Those people who resent those people who do good in school are the ones who study for tests the day before while the ones who do good study every day.
