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.

Aye there’s nothing like a pie in someone’s face to cure the boredom.

Amen, guys.
Would like to recommend to you " The Three Stooges pie fight" (1941) on you tube.
Have saved it to the “favorites” on my computer and whenever boredom strikes , this vintage pie altercation instantly removes it.
Provides vicarious relief for pent-up anger and tendencies toward aggression.
What’s more, you’ll particularly enjoy the you tube video as these pies are the real thing-no cheap shaving cream substitutes here.
Have often wondered what the bakery bill came to for all the pies that became airborne in this video.
Thanks, Broomie for getting the day started on the right foot.
Will take a brief break to go to you tube now before returning to the Sunday comics.
3 minutes and 32 seconds of non-stop pies.(There’s also a large cake with Moe on the receiving end to kick things off.)
A great start to a boring Sunday.

Pie fights actually started with Keystone comedies ca. 1914.
