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.

Going through elephant poop to find the undigested coffee beans so they can be used is probably one of the worst jobs ever.

Considering all the types of coffee made from undigested beans I guess its something of a relative matter :). Also tending to the elephants that have eaten said coffee plants in the first place must be a pain too.

No thanks. I’ll stick with my Kona beans.

There are a couple of places in the world where coffee growers fall down laughing at the idiots who buy these beans. It’s supposed to be decaffeinated, not defecated.

Joe doesn’t have to suffer in Philadelphia. Wawa is a regional convenience store chain named for its hometown just west of Philly, which in turn is named for a Native American word for goose (a goose appears in Wawa’s logo). Found throughout the Philly area, Wawa is famous for its excellent and reasonably-priced coffee.

I’m not sure defecated coffee beans are decent.

After years of only seeing Wawa on the on the road to the in-laws (Brunswick MD), they started showing up locally (Tidewater, VA) about 4 years ago.

I saw a new Wawa in Pinellas Park, FL (just above St. Petersburg) the other day.

I’d heard of coffee made from the beans excreted by civets in Sumatra (otherwise known,among other terms, as “cat poop coffee”), but not this. Yummo.

And there is one more reason I am glad I do NOT drink coffee…

I work at a South Jersey Wawa. Elephant Poop Coffee is on the way! (just kidding) I don’t even drink coffee so I can’t speak to the quality of Wawa’s product, though they do make a wicked peppermint hot chocolate.

Some seeds can’t germinate unless their outer integument is weakened by the digestive acids.

Integument – now that is a word I’ve never expected to see in comics.com, or most other non-scientific websites for that matter. My hat, were I to be wearing one, would be off to you.
