"A Cry For Help" by Gerald DeJesus
August 31st, 2010 by GabeThis is it, the definitive end to Big Pants Mouse. I saved Jerry's masterpiece as the final final final Big Pants. Why? Because it's all there. Like us all, Jerry has always had a soft spot in his heart for this little mouse, but unlike the rest of us, Jerry's heart is quite different.
Jerry is an amazing artist. You have seen his work and you didn't even know it!
My friend Tony introduced Jerry to me at a Carl's Jr. in '99. Tony wanted me to put in a good word for Jerry at Spumco. He was amazing, and we hired him for his flash expertise, but unbeknownst to me, I already "knew" Jerry.
See, some of us guys at Spumco had this contest called the "Ace Card". We would find the nastiest filthiest videos online and share them as our "ace card". Tony always seemed to have a HUGE amount of videos and would usually always win. But those times changed when Jerry started at Spumco. Jerry was Tony's secret supplier of depravity. If I would have known this, I would have told our boss that we needed to hire Jerry on his filth finding abilities alone!
Since then, I think I've worked with Jerry on every flash project I've done, including the Big Pants Mouse pilot at Disney. He is an amazing art director, bg designer, painter, animator, and all around great guy. Thanks for the final word Jerry, you put the final nail in Big Pant's coffin.
Thank you all for all the support over the years. Here's to the end of Big Pants and the start of Life In The Analog Age next week!
Especially the sleeve gag in the fourth panel!
This Skadi sort of feels like a Kimbo comic.
"Hey, don't be so stuck-up, bay-bee. This is just crackers and grape juice. You've eaten a human eyeball! And went back for seconds!"
I won!
I'm going to guess that is where he stayed for the whole comic?
They're regarded as sacred, as they're believed to be the incarnation a soul inhabits before being reborn as a human.
But they're one of the few animals in India to which you won't ever find a temple dedicated, or a holy image made.
Ah ... but I see you outdo this simple misunderstanding with a really tiresome caricature of Muslims. Oh well.
She should probably turn into Diseaso-buddhism, like her loyal sidekick ;-)
Contrary to what seems to be popular belief, Skadi is not a cannibal. Her quest is to eat of every "beast", which doesn't include humans or humanoid type creatures.
Which is why she hasn't eaten Diseaseoid (and possibly because of his fowl skin, as well).

Well, on another note, the comic IS getting better visually! Comparing strips, I can tell there's been a good change! LOVE IT!
And I just found the gag about the sleeves. And I LAUGHED...
And yeah, the sleeve gag is gold!
Can't you train a camel to do this? Or wouldn't that be kosher?
Who knew?
