Fans of the hit mockumentary comedy, The Office, will now able to buy a comic book that was featured in the series as a holiday gift.
"The Adventures of Jimmy Halpert," was a fictional comic book originally seen in Season 7, Episode 11 and 12 of the series, titled "Classy Christmas." It was a gift made by the character Pam Beesly for her husband, Jim. The Office fan and collectible site, DunderMifflinPaper, recently announced that its team made the comic book for purchase.
As noted in a social media post by the comic's publishers, which teased the first few pages, a physical copy of the full issue will be made available for preorder on its website.
The comic features Pam's renditions of many of Dunder Mifflin's quirky coworkers, including Kevin Malone (Brian Baumgartner), Phyllis Vance (Phyllis Smith), and Creed Bratton (Creed Bratton). From the panels available, it is unclear whether the newly radioactive Jimmy Halpert is going to wreak havoc on the Pennsylvanian paper company or successfully maintain his secret bear identity.
The "Classy Christmas" episode was written by Mindy Kaling and directed by Rainn Wilson. Within the episode, "The Adventures of Jimmy Halpert" was written and illustrated by the character Pam Beesly (Jenna Fischer) for her husband, Jim Halpert (John Krasinski), who has always been the better gift-giver of the couple. Pam spends a whole year creating the comic that follows Jim's mundane world of fatherhood and selling paper until his world is turned upside down when he is attacked on his way to work by a radioactive bear. Naturally, he takes the bear's powers, but the show does not reveal more past that point in the story.
The Office premiered on NBC in 2005 as an adaptation of the BBC comedy series of the same name. Although its first season received poor reviews, it went on to become an incredibly popular workplace sitcom that ran for a total of 9 seasons to critical acclaim. While for years, fans of the show were hoping for a reboot, it appears that may not be in the cards.
Currently, all seasons of The Office are streaming on Netflix in the United States and will premiere on Peacock in January 2021.
