"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!










Brilliant as usual!
clever as usual, look in the grass for the title.
My favorite kind of comic.
The art is stunning as always. In terms of drawing, Skadi has always been my favorite Dumm Comic; not surprising since she's my favorite Dumm comic period.
I like the surprise at the end. It's a good joke, made better though proper posing and some creative expressions. A bit out of character perhaps, but then who's to say Skadi doesn't secretly dream of indulging in a sexier side than she usually shows.
I mean way, way back in strip #14 'Shoe Shopping' she gets offended when the shoe salesmen takes her away from the dantier selections and into the less 'uh' complimentary sizes, so it does work in the scope of her character.
Plus it's funny!!!
I think Diseasoid's expressions on Panel #'s 8 & especially on 9, are the funniest bits about this week's offering.
Bottom line, another masterpiece which is what I've come to expect from this strip and its creators. Keep up the good work guys. Sorry I haven't been around lately, but hopefully that will change. See you next week.
You do a good job of it I think.. always inspiring thanks once
again!
I'm impressed ;)
Didn't find the title at first though...
But the story is original enough to make up for that :) haha
This rocks!
I adore this whole strip!
The little heart in the "vogue" -panel looks just like a fly...
Didn't see that ending coming. Great stuff.
