Added DiffLines:
* LighterAndSofter: For Broom Hilda herself at least; at the strip's launch, she smoked cigars and chugged beer. She eventually dropped those bad habits.
Added DiffLines:

* AdjectiveAnimalAlehouse: The Snail & Quail Club from the ''Fabulous Funnies'' episode "Flying High".
Added DiffLines:
* AVerySpecialEpisode: Downplayed with the kid-friendly animated Broom Hilda episode "Flying High" on the ''Fabulous Funnies''. The episode deals with Broom Hilda addicted to alcohol and her friends intervene. After seeing damage done to herself and Irwin Troll from drinking, Broom Hilda renounces alcohol...only to get arrested by the police for her AlcoholInducedIdiocy from the night before. But she is out free [[ResetButton by the next episode]].

* TalkingDownTheSuicidal: During a Sunday strip, Hilda sees a man on a ledge about to jump, listing all the recent horrible things he's had.

''Broom Hilda'' is a newspaper comic strip created and drawn by Russell Meyers. Debuting on April 19, 1970, it is distributed by Creator/TribuneMediaServices.
Following a [[GagSeries gag-per-day format]], the strip focuses on the title character, a witch named Broom Hilda getting into funny hijinks, chasing after men and using her magic.
Other characters include:
* Gaylord Buzzard, an intellectual bird with glasses. Despite trying to be a voice of reason, he can be sarcastical and loves playing pratical jokes
* Irwin Troll, a shaggy haired simpleton who is naive but kind - the exact opposite of Broom Hilda.
* Nerwin Troll, Irwin's nephew, wearing a propeller beanie
* Grelber, an unseen figure with only his eyes and smirking mouth visible from inside his home, a log; he dispenses "Free Insults" as a sign on his log reads.
This character has nothing to do with BrawnHilda.
!! This comic strip has examples of the following tropes:
* AnimatedAdaptation: Not one but three!
** The first was ''WesternAnimation/ArchiesTVFunnies'' where Broom Hilda was voiced by Jane Webb.
** The second was another Creator/{{Filmation}} production ''Fabulous Funnies'' (1978). Broom Hilda was voiced by Creator/JuneForay; Gaylord by Bob Holt; and Irwin and Grelber by Creator/AlanOppenheimer.
** The third was a brief appearance in the 1980 TV Special ''The Fantastic Funnies''. June Foray reprised her role as Broom Hilda.
* ByTheLightsOfTheirEyes: Grelber's eyes are only seen from his shadowy log home.
* TheGadfly: Grelber, who regularly dispenses vicious insults and pulls pranks too if he is in a really bad mood.
* FunnyAnimal: Gaylord is a buzzard who walks around, talks, wears glasses and occasionally other clothes, fitting this trope perfectly.
* MindScrew: The backgrounds of the strips can be like this. Similar to ''ComicStrip/KrazyKat'', the details of backgrounds can change while the characters remain stationary.
* NerdGlasses: Gaylord is never seen without his thick glasses.
* NiceHat: Nerwin wears a propeller beanie. Gaylord sometimes wears a fez.
* PrintLongRunners: Since 1970!
* ReallySevenHundredYearsOld: Broom Hilda is 1500 years old and was once married to UsefulNotes/AttilaTheHun.
* TimeTravel: Broom Hilda can do this with her magic, usually going back to visit comical versions of historical figures.
* TrademarkFavoriteFood: Gaylord really loves eating popcorn.
* WildHair: Both Irwin and Nerwin have this. Their whole bodies are covered in hair with their faces and feet visible. Arms and hands can be seen sometimes.
* WitchClassic: Broom Hilda full stop. She wears a pointed hat, flies on a broom and uses plenty of magic.
