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.

This story line makes no sense. We have seen the twins in a grocery cart for heaven’s sake.

At eighteen months, my older daughter would melt down when I went into the bathroom without her. She was bright enough to know better, but it didn’t matter when MOM WAS GONE!

It is a planned re-run, as it was introduced as a flashback a while ago!

It’s how infants work. They can’t conceive the concept of a world that exists outside their vision, even if they visited that world. This strip makes perfect sense.

I’m ready to hear more about Clarence and Charlene. Their story arc has been randomly thrown in since November. We still have heard next to nothing about how her trip went. The strip feels very jumpy right now.

To put matters in perspective, go look at videos on you-tube comparing celestial bodies in size. Our sun is a marble compared to some giant stars, and then they lost in nebulas, etc…

After we are born we are still developing. Not reaching maturity till 25 or so with the last fusing of the lower vertebrae.

I want to thank Robb for the original artwork from the March 14th strip, which arrived in the mail today. It’s wonderful!
For those who missed it, Robb directly mentioned my great-great-great grandfather by full name in a strip about coin collecting. Peter Filatreu Cross (1815-1862) was an assistant engraver at the U.S. Mint in Philadelphia in the 1840s and 1850s.
