Russell Kommer Myers (born October 9, 1938) is an American cartoonist best known for his newspaper comic strip Broom-Hilda.
Born in Pittsburg, Kansas, Myers was raised in Oklahoma where his father taught at the University of Tulsa.[1] Myers was interested in cartooning from an early age. After his first strip submission for syndication failed, he began working for Hallmark Cards in Kansas City, MO in 1960 as an illustrator of greeting cards. He continued to submit comic strip concepts for syndication in his free time.
Broom-Hilda
The idea for Broom-Hilda originally came from writer Elliott Caplin, brother of cartoonist Al Capp, who described the character to Myers.[citation needed] Myers designed the characters and wrote the scripts.[citation needed] Caplin acted as Myers' business agent and submitted Broom-Hilda to the Chicago Tribune Syndicate where it was accepted. The first strip was published on 19 April 1970.
