Office Hi-Jinks

Jimmy Hatlo’s Office Hi-Jinks is a single-issue gag strip from Avon Books, published in 1961, that captures the timeless chaos of the workplace through a series of lighthearted, single-panel cartoons. As both writer and artist, Hatlo brings his signature wit to the daily absurdities of office life, from bumbling bosses to clattering typewriters. Though brief, this issue stands as a snapshot of mid-century humor and Hatlo’s enduring talent for finding comedy in the mundane.
