ILLINIWrestlingBlog Posted April 14 Share Posted April 14 Back in 1980, the Chicago Sun Times published a review by Roger Ebert about a movie that "never finds a consistent comic note of its own," that also "never develops a plot," and that never allows the "central characters" to get "involved in the same action." He was writing about Caddyshack. By way of explanation of the comic strip below for the younglings, here's a very short :23 video of one of the greatest movies ever made: How does this relate to wrestling? Well, because Jombo™ has become involved. Also, it is my firm belief that the least likely person in the history of mankind to have ever liked amateur wrestling is Roger Ebert. And yet, in 1985, Ebert gave Vision Quest 3½ stars. I think that's pretty interesting. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ILLINIWrestlingBlog Posted April 28 Author Share Posted April 28 Thanks, @CHROMEBIRD and @ionel! This is a big day! Today, we introduce a new character into the JCU (The Jombo™ Comic Universe). This new comic seems really stupid and silly, but that’s why I like it so much. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's South Carolina, my friend, and it's not the heat, it's the humidity. For example we are now a week past donut season. You buy a donut now, and it will be a glazy puddle in 15 minutes. We are almost out of Milk Duds season. Buy a box next week, and it will be a brick in 30 minutes. In two weeks, you can take a shower, dry off with a towel, hang up the towel, and the next day, it is wetter. But the JOMBOVERSE grows! There's a new addition to the JOMBO™ Comic Universe. A surprising addition. It should be interesting to see how the wrestling world reacts to the new hires. I decided to give Davebert the "Disney Look." I think he'll be a fan favorite. Cheers! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
