Gown Humor, Cont.

Well, whaddaya know? ANOTHER joke about the backless gown! HEE HEE! I can't get enough of the Broom Hilda ass humor! And, the fact that jokes about backless gowns are NOT at all tired.
And, we even had an anonymous poster point out the uneasiness Broom Hilda must be feeling in the office with the big windows! HA HA HA! But, wait, yesterday (and the day before), the windows were either painted over with black paint, or the scene took place at night! Today, the window is bright and we can see the whole city behind (no pun intended) Broomie! I think the artist must have changed this detail at the last minute to make the punchline more suprising and "funnier."
This is what dramatists like to call holding out information . . . it worked pretty well in Murder, She Wrote, when J.B. Fletcher springs the key piece of background evidence at the 55 minutes mark. It works less well in Broom Hilda.
What will happen in Friday's strip? Will she still be at the doctor's office? Will the gown issue be resolved? Well, sadly, I'll be on the road, on my way to a wedding, so I won't know. The suspense will be killing me, but I guess I'll find out on Sunday.
Happy weekend everyone!

Oh, man. Looks like I was psychic yesterday with the window gag. Okay, I'll predict that tomorrow's final Broom Hilda "backless gown" gag will be the doc, exasperated, handing her a second gown.
BH: "Is this to cover the parts of me that shouldn't be showing?"
Doc: "Absolutely!" (He drapes the gown over her head. A little black cloud of anger forms over it.)
HA HA HA HA! That's good stuff!
