"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!










I'm a little sorry to see your two parter was only a two parter, but the return of our fine feathered friends more than makes up for it.
And boy can I relate to this week's episode. I used to own a construction company some years ago. One time, I was alone in an apartment complex we were painting and as it happens, I was feeling particularly spry at the moment. I had arrived ahead of my men who were on the other side of the complex (it was a pretty big place) and for no reason I began to hum and the humming turned into singing. You have to understand, I can't sing. I mean I really, really can't sing. So there I am, alone, belting out a few verses of this or that when suddenly my job manager appears from around the corner with an ear to ear grin and asks me to sing it again.
I felt like I would die. We've all done embarrassing things, and as usual the Captain reflects that quality in all of us.
Thanks Sean. I'll be laughing for a week!
Just like how when you take the sarcastic cat dialogue away from Garfield it suddenly become 100 times funnier.
Just a thought.
funny
and shows a wonderfully human side to the captain!
Poor capt'n, he seems to be pretty bored.
