"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!










Eyaaah!!!! Burger KING, KING Kong, Michael Jackson!!!! KING of pop!!!
Maybe in the future if I ever have to pay child support, I can just say the baby isn't mine, and that it was another miracle with a pregnant virgin...
This one, however, comes off pretty well, especially with the three "kings."
At first, though, I thought Vespula and Santa were wearing space helmets in that last panel. And that Kimbo was trying to put the hat ON TOP OF the helmet. Then I realized they were just halos, which is still pretty funny, given the circumstances.
Another great comic, made me laugh a lot. Keep up the fantastic job!

I demand more libertarian propaganda in 1930 Nightmare Theater!!
And I want Santa's shoes. No more riding my bike to school!
Michael's typical 'hee's as evil laughter? lol
But I feel bad for Bimbeaux in the last panel. All his innosence, gone forever, the word sh*t etched in his brain...
You're going straight to Hell for this one, but it was worth it because it made me laugh—Oh, shit! Does that mean I'm going to Hell too?? Um... You Godless Satanic Heretic! Damn you to the Fires of Hades!! Mea Culpa Mea Culpa Mea Culpa!!!
(This should be a Xmas card or a made for TV holiday special!)
Love what we can glimpse under Pope Jackson's robes, there--almost as much as I love the White-Out being applied to the Constitution.
There's sometimes a "V1" and "V2" of these strips, where a short version goes up first. From the comments I notice some readers may not be catching the long version. Deadline racing? Change of heart/mind? Just curious.
The panel five is beautiful.
2. TV, who needs it?! Internet killed the "shitty-bland-entertainment-by-executive-commitee" Star!

16. I've been to hell, it's not that bad.
17. Byllie, it was I who was rude by being impatient. Please forgive my doosh-baggery.
18. Translation: "Yes, I must accept that Christmas is mostly consumerism dictated by a gigantic global marketing conspiracy. But where would we be without the mysticism, joy and harmony of Christmas Eve?" Agreed.
20. Come on, Zach! There hasn't been blood for at least 2 episodes.
21. Sharp eye, Happenstance, I assure you this was purely a technical difficulty and will not happen again.
23. No, it's Caca.
24. Actually, That comment earns Zimbo extra toys from uncle Ricky!
25. Yeah, that's the ticket...
27. Santa is MY religion, betch! P.S. I loved you in "Lost"...
28. See #21
Thanks Everybody! Have a Merry Christmas, and don't buy anything! I recommend a home cooked meal, Secret Santa or Gift exchange. The corporations already made their layoffs and planned their store closings, now they are just trying to milk you dry before they skip town. FUCK 'EM!
Brilliant work as always!
