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.

Influenza is currently hitting epidemic levels. Marcy is a nurse and she’s advocating Joe going to work ? This is the opposite of the advice all healthcare professionals give. I don’t care if Crunchy doesn’t get sick, what about his other coworkers and people he comes into contact with. What about a poor example this strip makes for it’s readers. What about Robb Armstrongs’ inability to think ?

She’s not advocating Joe go to work. Judging by the mask and gloves, she’s going to do some home nursing!

She is not telling him to go to work. She’s just saying that his reason (concern for Crunchy) is unwarrented. From the looks of it, she’s getting ready for some hospital level nursing duties.

Two brains and you’re still slow! If Sam Kinison were here, he would say, “IT’S A COMIC STRIP!!!! IT’S NOT REAL!!!!” Give Robb a break here!

I like that Marcie is getting all decked out to handle the yicky infected hubby. Maybe put yellow caution tape around him?

Zaphod, that’s a little harsh. It’s a comic strip. This is supposed to be funny.
