"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!
@Happenstance-I'm pretty sure she took the picture to post all over the nets,namely 4chan.
Also, that is one tanned bottom; guess the kid's parents know he's up to evil antics and aren't afraid of some corporal punishment.
Strange, surreal physics are perfect for cartoons.
Too bad real magnets are so boring.
I wonder if mercury (not the planet, the element) is magnetic? That would be crazy fun to play with, a magnetic liquid.
It is brilliant how the baby's plan fails. I can just taste it! That combined with the expressions, which are even more amazing than usual, makes this completely awesome.
The transition from panel 6 to 7 is hilarious. Looking appalled and immediately after taking a picture with a neutral look. It's hard to capture in words how funny that looks.

Also, I hate to spoil your fantasies, but liquid metal can not be magnetic as far as I know. Magnetism is caused because the metal's atoms have their electrons spin in the same direction or something, so when they move freely like in a liquid, this could not happen. Only 99% sure since I'm not a real physicist.
@DysprosiumDy (#9): Depends on your definition of "hilarious." That's Strawberry's cyborg future-self. She should outweigh Straw by several hundred pounds, so it should've been Straw who went airborne. Yay cartoon physics!
