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.

Oh wow. I think I must have missed something major. Last I remember Jasmine, she was a genius baby! But I guess it makes sense she grew up. CJ’s looking fresh!

It shouldn’t have to be so hard to figure out what you are. And others will pigeonhole you anyway.

Frank Sinatra?? Geez, I always aspire towards the best: Sam Cooke and Jackie Wilson. Maybe that’s why my wife always decides to do her gardening when I’m in the shower.

That doesn’t really work!
You can’t just get up one day and say-“Today, I’m a Doctor!” or- “Today, I’m an astronaut!” You’re just you!

But that’s where it starts. You have to set your goals and convince yourself that you’ll reach them. Saying “Today, I am a doctor”, is the firs step to becoming one.

I’m an American (United States variety) by birth (Illinoisan, specifically), Dutch and German by ancestry (although I identify more strongly with the German half), and I’m presently a Californian (by choice). At various times I’m also an actor, a singer, and/or an artist, and I’m often an office worker (gotta pay the bills somehow).
My answer to the question “What are you?” depends entirely upon the context.

Last I looked I’m Terran born in Houston, in the state of Texas in the nation of the USA. Other than that I am myriad, made up of multitudes.

How many doctors talk as if they’ve just crawled out of a ganghouse? Ghetto talk is for losers.

Love the comic but he’s not necessarily talking, acting and dressing like he’s black. Non-blacks do that too and only a small number of blacks behave that way.

That’s a good point, Shyygirl27. That’s Robb Armstrong showing his age. But in his defense, his parents probably think the same thing anyway, so it works. Actually, his dad seems like he probably gets it.
