About Jump Start
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.

I’ve never needed a mobile phone and have never owned one and have never had to deal with all the attendant drama. Same thing with satellite or cable television too. It’s a beautiful world out there and mine is totally uninterrupted by
extraneous diversions.

She’s not the only one who has a problem with her spouse carrying the phone. Mine has been able to keep it charged up. He just forgets to take it every once in awhile. He’s getting better at it though. Good luck in trying to train him, Marcie. lol

what kind of crappy phone battery won’t last one day outside? I mean he’s a cop on the beat, I know he isn’t spending all his time tweeting.

Yet you have internet, which is a diversion in itself.

The assumption that everyone must be available to everyone at any time is so prevalent in today’s society that it makes me want to scream! I have a cell phone for MY convenience, not so that the rest of the world can reach me when I’m sitting on the commode. I don’t usually even carry it unless I’m expecting someone in particular to call or if I know that I need to be able to call home while I’m out. (And yes, I’m over 60.)

If you live in a vacuum, your life style will work fine. But most of us live in a world where we need to communicate with others. Also, I’ve always suspected some level of snobbery with the viewpoint you espouse. In actuality, you have expressed a preference which is no better or worse than someone else’s preferences.

@s dv
LOL Great point. Thanks.

You remind me of my grumpy older sister. It’s all about her. Good luck trying to get hold of her in an emergency. And, yes, I’m well over 60.
