Russell Myers

Russell Myers

Russell Myers (born 1938) is an American cartoonist best known for his newspaper comic strip "Broom-Hilda". He received the National Cartoonist Society Best Humor Strip Award for 1975.

Myers was born in Pittsburg, Kansas, and raised in Oklahoma. He was interested in cartooning from an early age. After his first submission for syndication failed, Myers worked for Hallmark Cards as an illustrator of greeting cards. He continued to submit ideas for comic strips in his free time.

The idea for Broom Hilda originally came from writer Elliott Caplin, brother of cartoonist Al Capp, who described the character to Myers. Myers designed the characters and wrote the script. Caplin acted as Myers' business agent and submitted the strip to the Chicago Tribune Syndicate. The first strip appeared on April 19, 1970.

Myers currently lives near Medford, Oregon with his wife and two children. [http://www.broomhilda.com/russel.htm]
