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.

I was raised in the Mid-west and I miss two things outside: thunder storms and lightning bugs.

The way the comic was framed it kinda looks like they’re clinging to each other right where the lightning struck a moment ago!

This is from abc news 11 hours ago (7:32 pm eastern):
The Westminster Kennel Club Dog Show that earlier this month made headlines by crowning an affenpinscher as Best in Show for the first time ever, is back in the headlines today after the unexpected death of another competitor.
Cruz, a 3-year-old Samoyed who competing in his first Westminster this year, died Feb. 16 while competing in another dog show in Colorado — just four days after the Westminster competition ended. Both the dog’s co-owner, Lynette Blue, and his handler, Robert Chaffin, suspect the dog was poisoned.
“We have gone through all the steps of where he was, what was done, and he was always on a leash,” Blue, 67, who has co-owned Cruz since birth and has raised and shown the fluffy, snow-white breed of dogs since the 1960s, told ABC News today. “He was never outside. He was always with the handler.”
Cruz, short for his show name, GCH CH Polar Mist Cruz’N T’Party At Zamosky D, was competing at the 18th Annual Rocky Mountain Cluster Dog Show in Denver when he became sick, vomiting blood. Chaffin, his handler of over one year, who was also at the Westminster, took him to an emergency veterinary clinic, where he later died of internal hemorrhaging. The dog was cremated and a necropsy was not performed.
(later on in the article, it said that too much time had lapsed to make testing for poison work)
“We can’t figure out a timeline where it could have happened while he was in the room or being walked,” said Blue, who said she had no insurance policy on Cruz.
The internal hemorrhaging, along with vomiting blood, could be a symptom of rodenticide, or rat poisoning, according to medical experts.
