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.

Exactly. Frank has a huge man cave at his place. He didn’t get that being loose with his cash.

They got 5 kids. They can’t spend like they’re single.

I think they only have 4 kids, unless they miscalculated on that too.

They have four. The parents need to go for financial counseling. I would like to eliminate out CC debt. I am trying to get a job for extra income, husband’s retirement pension does not get it. We are not spenders either.

Actually, Frank got his huge man cave because he and Joe were cleaning out either the attic or the garage and found a valuable old comic that belonged to Frank. Joe appropriated it, sold it for a lot of money and had the man cave built. I would have been really angry had someone done this to me, but Frank was thrilled.

Pop has been hit up for money for a long time. I recall posting a comic on my office bulletin board in the early 90’s showing Frank with Joe (and Marcy?) asking Frank for money. I think at one point he asks them, “Why are you looking at me like that?” It shows him with light-bulb-ringed signs surrounding him, saying something like, “First National Bank of Pop,” “No interest charged,” “Open 24/7.” Later, I put up a cartoon of Pop and his wife standing proudly by Joe (?), who is in a cap and gown. Frank is wearing a barrel, to show that he’s broke from paying Joe’s tuition. I had my husband paste a copy of our younger daughter’s face on the student, as she had recently graduated.
