cosplusisin Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 So I was looking at the jumble in the newspaper the other day, and found that the cartoon in the Jumble had a kid wearing a WILCO shirt. I went online and found it through jumble.com, so i took a screen grab and put it up here: http://i118.photobucket.com/albums/o96/cos...in/jumble-1.jpg Quote Link to post Share on other sites
DAngerer09 Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 Wow, I didn't read your text and went straight to the link to the jumble and I was trying to figure out which mixed up word spelled W-I-L-C-O. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Party @ the Moontower Posted June 8, 2008 Share Posted June 8, 2008 so the WILCO t-shirt reminded me of this story I found that sorta suggest my kid looks silly in a WILCO t-shirt.Like I am a coolness pusher or something.Hey, my kid loves her WILCO ice-cream cone t-shirt.She just wore it to get ice-cream.How cool is that? They say "Kids much prefer a Dora the Explorer shirt than a Wilco or CBGB shirt". http://www.nbc11.com/msnbchealth/14293011/detail.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Just a Kid Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 There are also cartoons of Wilco in Jumble See and Search books 1&2. The new cartoonist for Jumble is a BIG fan! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Just a Kid Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 There was another Wilco shout out in Jan 22nd's Jumble puzzle. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

bedbug Posted January 23, 2009 Share Posted January 23, 2009 About a year ago there was a guy wearing a Pernice Brothers shirt in a Speedbump Cartoon. Best thing that happened to me that week. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
barnyard pimp Posted January 24, 2009 Share Posted January 24, 2009 HAHA cool! i love the jumble. let me guess, "BRAINY DAY" and "GO FOR BAROQUE"? i didn't actually do em... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Just a Kid Posted August 29, 2009 Share Posted August 29, 2009 Another Tweedy sighting in the Jumble Puzzle 8/30/09. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dude Posted August 30, 2009 Share Posted August 30, 2009 That's a work of art, Just a Kid. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Just a Kid Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Thanks Dude! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Edie Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Q for JAK -- are you any good at Jumbles? Do they make you figure it out before you create your illustration? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Moss Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 That is so cool. I'm going to have to start checking them out every day for the possible "sighting". I do like doing them anyways. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jenbobblehead Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 Thanks Dude!NO WAY! THAT IS SO AWESOME! I love the Jumble! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dude Posted August 31, 2009 Share Posted August 31, 2009 I think having Wilco / Tweedy content in a Jumble puzzle that appears in every newspaper in the country probably beats out me making a Wilco mix CD for a few of my friends. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Just a Kid Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Q for JAK -- are you any good at Jumbles? Do they make you figure it out before you create your illustration?No, I don't have to figure them out, luckily. I do play it everyday in the paper. Since I work a few months in advance it's always a nice surprise to see what I drew today. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Just a Kid Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 If you find yourself in the puzzle and games section of a book store, look for the Jumble See and Search books. There are two. They both have some very big Wilco shout outs, as well as one for the Blisters. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
rwilson580 Posted September 2, 2009 Share Posted September 2, 2009 Very cool, JAK. My family will be amused to learn of this connection between two of my obsessions. The universe is starting to make sense... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
kidsmoke Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Very cool, JAK. My family will be amused to learn of this connection between two of my obsessions. The universe is starting to make sense... I'm a little concerned, because isn't "the universe starting to make sense" one of the signs of the Apocalypse? Regardless, I like the Jumble cartoon art! Good Wilco-promoting, JAK! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
jmacomber68w Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Very cool, JAK. My family will be amused to learn of this connection between two of my obsessions. The universe is starting to make sense... Viachicago is basically an episode of lost Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dude Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 Very cool, JAK. My family will be amused to learn of this connection between two of my obsessions. The universe is starting to make sense... There's a bit of that syngery in eating at Chiptole (my favorite casual dining experience these days) and hearing a Wilco / UT song piped in there (which happens pretty frequently).

That's great Do the editors know Wilco too or do they think you are just randomly putting the letters on someone's T-shirt? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Just a Kid Posted September 3, 2009 Share Posted September 3, 2009 That's great Do the editors know Wilco too or do they think you are just randomly putting the letters on someone's T-shirt? The guy who I send the artwork to is probably hip enough to know who they are. The rest, not so much. One of the marching orders I was given when I started as the cartoonist (22 months ago) was to bring it into the 21st century. If Wilco in the Jumble isn't 21st century modernization, I don't know what is? I also put Frank Orrall, from Poi Dog Pondering, in a bunch of puzzles. He's also a friend and creative muse.
