Lookin' Good! (Broom-Hilda) #12493-2
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis 1985 collection from Gold Medal Books brings together a selection of Russell Myers' long-running newspaper comic strip 'Broom-Hilda,' featuring the green-skinned, cigar-smoking witch and her quirky companions in a series of humorous, single-panel gags. The volume showcases the strip's characteristic blend of supernatural slapstick and witty commentary on everyday life from the mid-1980s.
In this delightfully odd 1985 installment of Broom-Hilda, Russell Myers delivers another surreal slice of suburban absurdity, with the titular witch’s blood—though medically useless—still drawing the attention of a nurse who finds the green vial oddly charming among the red. A quirky, offbeat moment in the long-running strip, rendered in Myers’ unmistakable style with every detail drawn, inked, and lettered by him. The cover by Myers captures the same off-kilter charm, perfectly framing the issue’s peculiar premise.
In a quietly absurd twist of medical whimsy, a nurse keeps accepting Broom-Hilda’s blood donations—not for any medical reason, but because the green bottle looks so charming next to the red ones. The joke lands with a dry chuckle, all in good fun, as the story leans into its silly premise with zero explanation and maximum charm.
