Broom Hilda by Russell Myers for July 23, 2021

The thumb piano.

Twiddling.

Keyboarding. I could really use more dexterity.

Today’s cartoon has a secret bonus level.

Broomie’s a Fidgetarian.

Either controlling drones for the army or Amazon.

Being a witch, she can zap the enemy with powerful bolts of annihilation faster than Super man could change in a telephone booth!

Gaylord has no thumbs—he really just wants to know.

I did not know that fidgeting was a skill.

Quick Broomie, challenge Gaylord to a thumb wrestling contest.

And she’s so old, she probably can remember playing the old Atari games…

eSports

Texting

Playing the bassoon. Both thumbs have multiple keys.

Lots a people with that skill and not doing much else.

Arthritus

Hitchhiking? (Make sure you know where your towel is.)

Tickling

The use of hand tools, television, accounting, card dealing, touch screens, sign language and many other possibilities. Forget hitch hiking.

I’m surprised her thumbs are not worn down to nothing.

a line from Ratatouille comes to mind “With THAT thumb!”

Fidgeting can be good, if you’re good at it, right?

Thumb wrestling.

Keyboard skills. Persistence. Curiosity. Problem-solving. Quick reflexes. Hand-eye coordination.
