Packed with humor and heart, JumpStart is a modern comic strip with a classic feel. At the core of the JumpStart family is Joe Cobb, a big-city cop, and his wife, Marcy, a nurse in a bustling Philadelphia hospital. Their jobs are easy compared to the challenge of raising four kids. At the end of the day, Joe and Marcy want what we all want: a good night's sleep. Their oldest, Sunny, is an avid reader who can answer your questions before you have time to do a Google search. Her brother, Jojo (aka Joseph Cobb, Jr.), has aspirations of being president. In fact, he already is president — of his second-grade class. Joe and Marcy's newest surprise additions are the twins, Tommi and Teddy. This talkative pair began conversing in the womb and are still going strong. Imagine what they'll say when they actually learn to speak! Rounding out the cast is Crunchy, a grouchy but warm-hearted police officer who is Joe's partner, and a host of extended family members and friends. You'll enjoy the wit and wisdom of this colorful, unpredictable cast, which includes the antics of in-laws, co-workers, a 6-year-old doctor, and a texting dog named Snoog-A-Boo.

Of course it’s a prank… he’s holding the real one in his hand.

Thank GOD it’s a prank! But, why the heck is that comic not in a protective glass case in a safety deposit box at a bank?

That prank would have been better for an April fools joke.

Not only did I have that Avengers comic, but every Marvel title
(‘ceptin’ “Millie the Model” of course) published between 1962 and 1967 including Amazing Fantasy #15 and all the origin stories of the X-Men, Daredevil, Iron Man, Thor et al. Then when I was at summer camp in 1967 my father gave them all to the Salvation Army. No wonder I left home in 1971 and haven’t been back since!

If he pulled the prank, he may know what the comic is worth.

the most expensive comic I own is from 1985. Secret Wars #8 which debuted the symbote aka the black suit

@Tazz555 – I have that Secret Wars also – along with the entire series. I had to rescue it from being placed in an outside shed by my parents when I moved out.

I had every Millie the Model…my father pitched them when he turned my bedroom into a mini brewery (long before it was cool to do so)…little did he know they would have paid for grad school….grrrrr……student loan payments really sucked for a long time afterward…

If all those parents hadn’t thrown out their kids’ old comic books, the copies that survived wouldn’t be so rare and valuable today.
