Jim's Journal is a comic strip written and drawn by Scott Dikkers, co-founder of The Onion. The strip first appeared in the University of Wisconsin–Madison The Daily Cardinal newspaper in 1988.
In 1990, Dikkers assembled the best of the Jim's Journal strips into a collection, I Went to College (and it was okay) ISBN 0-8362-1867-1, self-published at first, then distributed by Andrews McMeel. Four more collections followed: I Got a Job (and it wasn't that bad) ISBN 0-8362-1709-8, I Made Some Brownies (and they were pretty good) ISBN 0-8362-1776-4, I Got Married (if you can believe that) ISBN 0-8362-1029-8, and finally I Feel Like a Grownup Now ISBN 0-8362-5184-9.
Since April 25, 2011, Jim's Journal has run on "GoComics" featuring both new and classic comics.

Famous quotes containing the words jim and/or journal:
“Just kids! That’s about the craziest argument I’ve ever heard. Every criminal in the world was a kid once. What does it prove?”
—Theodore Simonson. Irvin S. Yeaworth, Jr.. Jim Bird, The Blob, responding to the suggestion that they not lock up the teens pulling the alien “prank,” (1958)
“How truly does this journal contain my real and undisguised thoughts—I always write it according to the humour I am in, and if a stranger was to think it worth reading, how capricious—insolent & whimsical I must appear!—one moment flighty and half mad,—the next sad and melancholy. No matter! Its truth and simplicity are its sole recommendations.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)
