Be Somebody

It’s time once again to go through the archives and send in your 6-12 favorite “Jenny” comics from 2009. The site’s new ComicPress/WordPress format gives you a couple of ways to do this:

1. Choose the “Browse Archives” button on the right sidebar and scroll through the twelve months of 2009.
2. Use the calendar, which is flawed and the developers still don’t know how to fix it. If you want to try it anyway, remember, the Sundays aren’t always lined up correctly.

You can get started right now by clicking here – Day One. There are four or five strips per month that you can scroll through; choose “Browse Archives” at the bottom of the page to go to February, then March, then April, and so on.

This year we’re giving away a JENNY T-SHIRT as appreciation for all of your hard work and dedication to this task. The design will be of my own choosing and may even be an original just for you.

The deadline is February 1st so grab a glass of wine, kick your feet up, and get ready to laugh. Don’t get too tipsy to send me an e-mail telling me which ones you liked!

WASHINGTON, December 17, 2009

Fort Knox cartoonist Paul Jon has created five special pieces of line art for a USO coloring contest for kids. The art features the Fort Knox characters, Major Joe Knox, his wife, Jane, and their two boys, Donald and Wesley, as well as typical scenes of USO events for kids. The top entries will be featured on the USO’s blog site throughout the week of December 27th.

The USO reported an immediate, record-breaking response, with more than 130 downloads of the art in the first two hours the contest was posted. You can read all about the contest on the USO’s web site

Fort Knox Cartoonist Paul Jon is a military brat himself, and he approached the USO with an offer to help military families. The USO came up with this project to give children something fun to do for the holidays.

Paul Jon is the son of an Army colonel whose tours of duty included Fort Leavenworth, Fort Jackson and Fort Knox. In addition to his daily and Sunday Fort Knox duties, Paul Jon runs the creative services department of a software company, and his artwork has appeared in newspapers, magazines and online publications across the country. He earned his B.A. in journalism from the University of South Carolina. He is married and has two beautiful goldfish.

Today is the final day of the annual fundraising drive to help pay for “Jenny” comics’ bandwidth.  Please let your friends and newsletter readers know that they can come to jennyspouse.com and donate at any time throughout the year.  Every little bit (even $1) helps keep the comic free for spouses’ newsletters and military base newspapers. :-)
