Apathy Man (Jimmy Huhmiller) is a fictional comic strip hero created by door-to-door vacuum cleaner salesman Shelton Holls in 1941. Holls possessed a meager dream to stop sucking, both dirt from housewives' carpets in tedious demonstrations and in a fundamental sense. Inspired by the second-rate vacuums he was loath to peddle, he conceived The Apathy Man, a hero who barely worked and had no attachments.
