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.

I’m not on Facebook, but apparently a lot of people get “friend Requests” from folks they hardly know – or don’t know at all.

And a lot of folks on Facebook just “collect friends” and never hear from them after the friend request.

It took me awhile but I think it’s satire on the fact that it would be impossible to get a freind request from the moon, but the sun has this giant ego and………..Oh heck, I don’t know!

I’m on facebook to keep up with out of town family and friends. Even the in town ones – no one prints pictures anymore they’re all online so I go online and save family pictures to my computer.

This celestial dialogue is a New Year tradition in my strip, going back many, many years.

If the 7 billion friends that the Moon is referring to is the human population then the moon is sadly mistaken of them being friends to the earth.

Let’s compare this with JoJo running for class president, with all those egos in competition. Then there is all the grandparents in Jump Start that are all over Facebook. Also, Snugaboo has his own Facebook page, too.
Some times you gotta look a little deeper for the meaning.
