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.

Maybe it would be easier in England. And not because of the language.

American food – oxymoron.

English and Spanish have the same word for “no.” French isn’t much different – “non.” German is “nein.”

How can you see the rest of us with your nose so high in the air?

Very simple, Charlene, those European languages are very different from American, having a different root language. So in Italy and Spain you need to say ‘si’, France is ‘oui’, Germany is ‘Ja’… It looks like the opposite of No but it really means no, really, just like in that old film, the gods must be crazy.
Bon appêtit.

if you’re in Paris, try doing the entire Louvre in a week. You’ll need to give up food and sleep to accomplish that.

Would it have killed her to do this fast AFTER her trip to Europe?

It’s pretty easy… “no” is mostly universal, especially through European languages. ;-)

And since many Europeans speak English, it shouldn’t be so difficult. However, if you are in Europe, how could you not eat the different cuisines?

People like that can’t rationalize. Their heads fill up with water during a rain storm and damages the brain.

I would want to eat but watch portion size.

Valerie Bertinelli, diet plan spokesperson, was asked if her new cookbook was a diet cookbook. She said no, it’s the Italian recipes she grew up with, but the first bite is always the best, so you don’t need to eat much more than that.
