"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!










Filthy rainwater and snow. I'd have picked mayonnaise or sausage gravy, but I'm sure Dante had his reasons...
This is oh-so super cool!
And I thought all the grey-work in the first panel was cool... until I scrolled down and it just kept getting better!
if the changing of the leaves wasn't proof enough, then Skadi has confirmed that this will be a grrrreat October.
I can't wait to see what brown and orange comics are yet to come.
p.s.
...I'm with #4... this would make a great poster, or it would have if not for the "...?" at the end.
You guys make such a gorgeous comic! Does Katie draw and Luke color? Who writes?
Mike, both Luke and I do a bit of everything, but for the most part, he does color and backgrounds, and I do characters.
The ideas and rough layouts are done almost 50/50. Usually if Luke roughs a page out, I'll take it and redraw the characters, add my own poses and expressions and gags, then we'll both start on cleaning it up and making it pretty. If I'm the one who does the rough page, Luke will take it and polish it, fixing the compositions and generally making it more pretty, and add gags. I draw and ink all the characters in Flash, while Luke paints the BG's in Photoshop.
The other Matt- you will find out next week! :)

Also, map of hell is super cool, like an anatomical diagram. Plus, Gluttony kind of looks like boobs.
Yay!
