At its core, "Keeping it Up with the Joneses" is a comic strip about the quotidian experiences of a suburban family. The Joneses – Rob, Helen, and their two kids, Jake and Molly – are a lovably flawed and endearingly ordinary family, navigating the trials and tribulations of everyday life. Through their misadventures, Rob Jones cleverly skewers the pretensions and absurdities of suburban culture, laying bare the often-contradictory desires and anxieties that underlie it.
The Joneses decided to take a different approach. Instead of trying to keep up appearances, they started to poke fun at themselves. They began to create their own comedic comics, documenting their silly mistakes and imperfections. keeping it up with the joneses jab comix
