"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!
IŽd love to see this animated.
That dolphin needs a hug.
and sorry
next week is my last comic!
sorry dudez
im burnt out from work this and other other work and freelance. i need a break
but i'll still be doing shit, animation specifically
thanks for the nice comments.
sorty for cutting out, but gotta do it.
good news is i got a bunch of comic ideas that i saved for animated shorts that i will be working on in the future.
(still working on my fanart...)
Loved all your comics. They were comedic gold.
Best of luck to ya David.
We'll miss you.
You should totally do an animation of this comic. That would look SOOOO funny.
Awwwwwww, Tuesdays had become my favorite dumm day.
Oh well, I'll definitely keep an eye out for your work.
Lookin' forward to your future cartoon bangers...
It will be cool to see a new cartoon from you though they're always great.
Tuesday has been a great day, hopefully the next dummy will carry on the tradition.
If readers think this is a long comic, then I'd love to see them try to read old full page newspaper comics (and then make sense of the old, horrible writing and language styles). Two panels or two-hundred panels, it doesn't make it any less or any more of what it is intended to be. Remember, to each his own!
Really enjoyed your work, David. I'll be expecting many cartoon shorts from these!
Are you posting EVERYTHING on your blog?
THAT WOULD BE RAD.
The Tuesday spot seems jinxed. :(
Hopefully you'll take the time to learn what a joke is.
Teach the guy who does Big Pants Mouse, too!
No wonder he's an animationist.
Keep up the good work!
I'll miss this shit! Jeez does that mean after next week, we get 1930's Nightmare Cmic 3X a week? Oh good, Dumm is dropping Mech Lab, too!
