There’s no vintage art this time. Instead of basing this on old comic book art, Diego drew this for me from scratch. This was done a few years ago when Jack Enyart and I were pitching Bucky as an animation project.
Alas, unlike Bucky, TV producers weren’t “prepared for anything” and the series never got picked up.
Still, I like the character. So I’ll keep doing Bucky gags as the mood hits me and inspiration strikes.
Transcript:
SCENE: Bucky, dressed as a Boy Scout, is standing, holding an American flag in his left hand and saluting with his right hand.
BUCKY: As a scout, I’m prepared for anything…except broccoli…and girls!
It’s Always Bucky™
Art: Diego Jourdan Pereira
Bucky created by Jack Enyart & John Lustig
