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.

Donate it to Locks of Love. Males always look better with trimmed/cut hair.

Good idea, but (and correct me if I’m wrong) isn’t the minimum length for hair donations eight inches? As for Jojo’s hair, hey guess what; your dad’s a good, honest Philadelphia cop; be proud of that! There are a LOT of other little boys who can’t be!

Lots of athletes wear their hair like that. But I wouldn’t recommend such a short cut in the middle of winter — your head gets cold.

So why does dad get to have ‘hippie hair’ AND a chin goatee?

I remember being in 2nd grade, wanting to grow my ‘fro like the Jackson 5. I had a very similar reaction in the barber’s chair.

What is it with dads insisting that their kids get stupid shaved haircuts, or cuts they themselves wouldn’t be caught dead wearing?

This strip reminds me of when my oldest son was about a year old and my mother cut his hair. When some fell down the front of the towel we had covering him, he picked it up, looked at it and started crying and begging us to “put it back.” It was pitiful and hilariously funny at the same time!!
