A tender, funny view of middle-class family life.<P> One of a handful of syndicated African-American cartoonists, Robb Armstrong brings a unique perspective to his strip with art and storylines that are upbeat, fun and undeniably realistic. Jump Start offers an authentic, positive representation of middle-class African Americans. Joe and Marcy Cobb are a young African-American couple trying to balance their careers - he's a police officer, she's a nurse - with a loving marriage and warm family life shared with their young daughter, Sunny, and toddler son, Jojo.<P> Many readers see themselves reflected in Jump Start. "I'm thrilled that people say that," says Armstrong. "I'm drawing about my life; about a black couple because I'm black. Joe and Marcy and the characters I've developed are deep and based on real life." A popular motivational speaker who addresses groups at schools, churches, libraries and other venues throughout the U.S., Armstrong inspires young people with the story of his own success. <P> www.gocomics.com/jumpstart Fri, 25 May 2012 00:00:00 +0000 Fri, 25 May 2012 00:10:44 -0500 http://www.gocomics.com//jumpstart/2012/05/25 Jump Start by Robb Armstrong for May 25, 2012<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/uclick/jumpstart/~4/_xif0vUNaTE" height="1" width="1"/> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/uclick/jumpstart/~3/_xif0vUNaTE/25 http://www.gocomics.com//jumpstart/2012/05/25 http://www.gocomics.com//jumpstart/2012/05/24 Jump Start by Robb Armstrong for May 24, 2012<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/uclick/jumpstart/~4/-Rr76eXfy5k" height="1" width="1"/> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/uclick/jumpstart/~3/-Rr76eXfy5k/24 http://www.gocomics.com//jumpstart/2012/05/24 http://www.gocomics.com//jumpstart/2012/05/23 Jump Start by Robb Armstrong for May 23, 2012<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/uclick/jumpstart/~4/dpEwwomHIyc" height="1" width="1"/> http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/uclick/jumpstart/~3/dpEwwomHIyc/23 http://www.gocomics.com//jumpstart/2012/05/23
