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.

No, but you’ll get a lot of enjoyment.
And maybe even learn about racial stereotyping.

I’m trying to think of a funny way to say Nerwin is “waxing elephant”, but he just isn’t saying enough…

You can watch Dumbo anyway, Nerwin! It’s got some outrageous cartoon characters from whom you could learn!

Why is the dialogue in the middle panel in quotes, but none of the rest is?
RUBBER DUCKY said, 4 months ago
why is it called the periodic table when it is really the element table?

Read the great new novel, “The Elephant of Surprise” by Brent Hartinger.

I like how the tv is leaning forward in the first panel.
So intent on delivering Dumbo (son of Jumbo, I think) to the audiences that it must lean forward!

@RUBBER DUCKY
Did you ever wonder why it was a funny shape?
An “element table” could be organized any way you wanted. Mendeleev observed that the properties of the elements repeated in a predictable (“periodic”) way. In his table elements on the left side have one set of properties, elements on the right side have a different set of properties and elements in the middle are different again. Lead to the understanding of electron orbitals and atomic structure!
