Broom-Hilda is an American newspaper comic strip created by cartoonist Russell Myers. Distributed by Tribune Content Agency, it depicts the misadventures of a man-crazy, cigar-smoking, beer-guzzling, 1,500-year-old witch and her motley crew of friends.
Broom-Hilda (a pun on Brünnhilde) is a witch with green skin, long, stringy hair, and a wart on the end of her nose. She wears a black dress, black shoes, striped stockings (one perpetually drooping) and a black hat with a daisy on top. According to the strip’s official site, Broom-Hilda is Attila the Hun’s ex-wife. She is perpetually looking for a new husband, but, due to her abrasive nature, the quest has thus far been unsuccessful. Early in the strip’s run, she gave up cigar smoking and beer. She served in the United States Marine Corps for two days and was discharged for unnecessary roughness (glimpses of her underpants reveal a USMC label). A hint to her rough-hewn side occurs in one strip where she is buying underwear. The clerk suggests a set of underwear, each one bearing the days of the week. She asks if she can get a set with the months of the year.
