We not only have a new comic in our midst, but they have been around long enough to have their own Wikipedia page! That’s right, Happy Hour has joined the Off The Wall Comics collective, and we’re proud as hell to have them here. If you haven’t stumbled across their comic before, you should definitely check it out.
It was created in 2004 by Jim Kohl and first appeared in the Rutgers University Newspaper “The Daily Targum” (November 30, 2004, Volume 136, No. 60) and in the 5 years since, Happy Hour has gone on to amass over 800 strips, along with several shoot offs involving the comics side characters. Happy Hour is unique because of it’s one panel format with a continuous storyline. But don’t let that fool you, because each strip can be read alone… its just that when read in conjunction with the strips prior or following, you will have a much greater appreciation of the humor and character interaction.
Currently the strip is drawn and written by Jim Kohl with the help of Phil Kriser, who colors strips and maintains the website. Right now, Happy Hour is mostly focused around two main characters, Jim and Phil, who are the catalysts for most of the strips, however there is a rich secondary cast that often appears alongside the main cast (and are the stars of The Brewery, Shiver Me Burgers, and The Barb Exam).
Definitely drop by to welcome them to the group, and make them feel welcome as the newest members of Off The Wall Comics.
