Jim Hardy is a 1936-1942 American adventure comic strip written and drawn by Dick Moores and distributed by United Features Syndicate. It was Moores' first solo comic strip work, before he gained renown for his work on Gasoline Alley. The strip told the story of Jim Hardy, a down-on-his-luck "man against the world".
In 1940, the strip refocused on a secondary character, Windy, and his horse Paddles. Jim Hardy's last appearance in the strip was on December 16, 1940; the strip was retitled Windy and Paddles in 1941.
