[edit] Other comics info

Neurotically Yours is pretty well documented, but any additional info regarding 4Y-Records or Ollie And Germ (which has no data behind it as of now) would be very useful.

[edit] Death

I added in a small blip about his death, not sure 100%, i am baseing this off of some tributes (since IWP website hasn't been upated)

[1] [2] [3] [4]

and of course the comments/forum posts Oh, and there are alot more now, at least 20 saying hte same thing, if this is even a hoax it should be mentioned, no? According to the BBS, Star Syndicate is suspcted of starting the roumer

Some Counter-evidence

f

[edit] Not dead

He is still alive. On his website it says at the bottom of the main page:

NEWS: 10/02/05...DEATH RUMORS NOT TRUE...CREATOR OF FOAMY STILL ALIVE....THE INTERNET IS WEIRD......

Plus the stuff already mentioned. The Star Syndicate is not a reliable source. His website probably is. --Optichan 20:12, 3 October 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Note on year of birth

All these people who made "tributes" made one clear mistake that damaged their credibility in my opinion: they wrote "1977-2005", whereas Jonathan's Newgrounds profile states he's 29, making him born in 1976.

If he's already had his 2005 birthday, its 1977. If he's not, its 1976. Until we know which end of the year he was born, the ambiguity remains. If his profile is unchanged come 1st January 2006, we would know. (Or he is just not updating his profile.) --Billpg 12:15, 16 October 2005 (UTC)
Well, sadly Newgrounds dosen't have an option for "last update" on profiles, and Jonathan claims that he's now too busy with Neurotically Yours to answer emails. Damnit, we'll be in the dark for a long time --Revolutionary

New update from User:Revolutionary. I've checked his Newgrounds profile, and his age is now listed as 30. Therefore he must be born in 1976. Also, I've checked in March and it was 29. Logically, this means he was born around April.

[edit] Note on Sexuality

Jon Mathers is a friend of a friend, and I'm told he is engaged to Dawn Bennett. I will endeavour to research this further.

As far as I know, Jon is not gay.

[edit] uh oh

This page has been edited! Seriously, everything about him has been replaced by nonsense. --Eric the Rexman
