Living in an enchanted forest with surrealistic landscapes, the engaging characters of Broom Hilda happily have no connection with reality. Other comic characters are extensions or distortions of reality, but Broom Hilda deals in pure fantasy, making the strip bewitchingly unique. Here in the forest, the inhabitants maintain a standard of madness where total irrelevance is the only relevancy. The strip is simply a loony-bin where what’s said and done often makes no sense whatsoever, much to the joy of its millions of fans.

She’s addicted to speeding too.
MARG! Yesterday they opened up Hollywood Casino
here in Toledo. Had over 10,000 suckers eager to
lose their money.

Hey, I used to live there! A casino in Toledo? Incredible. I guess “Toledo Casino” just doesn’t have the same cachet…

Nah, that thing’ll be back in action as soon as we forget it ever crashed. Next week at the latest.

An American car of that era can handle being driven off of a cliff, as long as it is less than 0.22 furlongs.

This reminds me of a true story (regrettably).
About 6 years ago, a truck driver ran over and killed a pedestrian while texting. It’s on record that he actually texted “$hit! Got to go!” before leaving his cab.
These people should be culled.

That will kill off any support for the Mudhens……….
