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.

That’s pretty inconsiderate of those Mayans!

You have a better chance of winning the lottery than having the world come to an end. So I got a couple more tickets.

My take on the Mayan calendar issue is that it’s akin to an older car when it hits the 100,000-mile mark. The odometer turns over to all zeroes and starts all over again!

Only God knows when the world will end. The Bible says so.

There have been so many predictions about when the world will end…I agree with Aicarrie.

I’ll bet you a thousand dollars that the world doesn’t end. If it does, just come find me to collect!

Maybe they had a better idea to end once and for all the world-wide recession, and the USA’s fiscal cliff?

Ashburn Stadium: I don’t know about the new digital odometers, but the old analogs don’t. I drove three tenths of a mile before the first zero came up.

The Bible isn’t the only book and some of the other books are older. And even in the Bible the world itself still stands.

The movie “2012” was fiction and disaster porn.

So.. for the Mayan culture at their peak, the world ended some 500 years ago. We’re still good, yes? OK, for the time being…
