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.

True story – four days ago, a friend told us about how he had “routine” eye surgery, and the doctor found that the scar tissue from a pterygium (fleshy growth on the cornea) was more extensive than he had thought. The doctor was in a hurry, so he put in one stitch, hoping it would hold. It didn’t. The cornea became infected, and our friend has endured more surgery and still can’t drive at night after several weeks. He’ll probably be ok eventually, but still . . . How the friend found out about the doctor’s slipup I don’t know, but I’m sure a lot of people would sue.

I have said it before. Joe, a cop. Marcy, a surgery nurse, Clarence, a dentist
These are the silliest grown folks.

@hcr1985
there’s always a count of all equipment used before you stitch the incision, for this reason!
