Title: The Evolution of an Archetype: An Analysis of JAB Comix’s Grumpy Old Man Jefferson
Jefferson is not your average retiree complaining about loud music and high taxes. In the world of JAB Comix, he is the retired foreman of a fictional, decaying industrial town. The "grump" is a defense mechanism—a shield against a world that has left him behind.
