Jimmy O'Hair

Holidays like Valentine’s Day

Today is Valentine’s Day, which is a holiday for expressing one’s love to another. For cartooning, it’s another opportunity for humor. When you’re in a relationship, that makes for good comic fodder. When you’re not in a relationship, that also makes for good comic fodder. So it’s good all around! It is fun to toy around with these different perspectives in a comic strip like Jimmy O’Hair. Holidays like Valentine’s Day present a way to show the cartoon characters in situations people can relate to, and hopefully connect with audiences on some level through the characters’ thoughts and observations. And for those who still haven’t made their table reservations or bought flowers or purchased candy for Valentine’s Day … you still have time! Just here to help.
