Happy Flag Day—sort of.
There’s no vintage art this time. Diego drew this from scratch—two versions. One flag upright. The other flag upside down.
The upside down one (with the dour dialogue you see in today’s comic) was for a Bucky animation project that Bucky co-creator Jack Enyart and I were pitching. It was a pretty downbeat moment for the usually upbeat Bucky.
I wasn’t planning to use this gag in the Last Kiss webcomic. But this seems like an appropriate time for it.
(Dialogue by my much-missed pal, the late Jack Enyart.)
Transcript:
SCENE: Bucky, dressed as a Boy Scout, is standing, holding an American flag upside down in his left hand and saluting with his right hand.
VOICE FROM OFF PANEL: Psst, Bucky! The flag’s upside down! That’s the sign of distress!
BUCKY: I know!
It’s Always Bucky™
Art: Diego Jourdan Pereira
Bucky created by Jack Enyart & John Lustig

Money is important in politics. But there’s something even more powerful. Your vote. My vote. All our votes together are the one thing that politicians can’t ignore.
So please don’t leave politics up to people like today’s Last Kiss character. Vote.

Hi. No coloring credit this time because I just scanned a print of the original comic and adjusted the color and the art myself. I’ll be using this approach for several of the other Halloween-themed comics coming up. I hope you like the results! —John
