I didn't know about these strips since we don't have the strip in any NYC papers. A fan of THE LOCKHORNS saw the above BROOM-HILDA strips from late August 21-25 2006 and sent a note to Bunny Hoest asking if this was pretty close to the mark -- do cartoonists have empty wallets and ink-stained digits and live in caves? Bunny passed them along to me.
I went to the Comicspage.com site and clicked on Russell Myers' bio:
------------------------------
Since the day of Broom-Hilda's takeoff (April 19,1970), Myers' life has become a different story, however -- this time, a story of success. He has been responsible for the pleasure of millions of newspaper readers each day through his clever and imaginative work.
Myers lives high on a bluff above Zane Grey's fabled Rogue River in Oregon with his wife, Marina, and their son and daughter.

Hmm. This cartoonist seems to have stopped the suffering back in 1970!
I remember once that Harold Ross said something like cartoonists sit in the basement, sipping soft drinks and watching their old home movies.
