SCENE: 1950s-early 1960s. Mom, Dad and Buck are in their TV room. Mom is trying to use a remote control--which clearly didn't exist back then--to change the channel on the old TV. Dad is reading the newspaper. Bucky's face is on the TV screen. Meanwhile the real life Bucky is playing with a train set on the floor.
MOM: Why can’t I change the channel? I want to watch the Golden Bachlorette!
DAD: Sorry, dear, Bucky has the parental controls.
BUCKY: It’s for your own good. I can’t let my mom...watch brain-draining reality TV shows.
Bucky created by Jack Enyart & John Lustig

Some Day My Prince Will Come
I’ve watched (and loved) a lot of silent films over the years. And adding silent movie images to the Last Kiss mix isn’t as unlikely as it might first seem.
In fact, it was the old TV show Fractured Flickers—which added silly, dubbed dialogue to silent movies—that partially inspired my creation of Last Kiss. It was funny stuff—and no wonder. Fractured Flickers was created by Jay Ward, the genius behind the Rocky & Bullwinkle show.
I’ve got at least one more of these silent screen sillies coming up soon in Last Kiss. I hope people enjoy ’em. I’ve love to do more.
