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.

As a good Scout you will raise to the occasion.

Don’t worry kid you’ll start preparing for girls soon enough. Broccoli maybe not.

The least prepared for girls are the ones who think they ARE prepared.

I was always prepared for girls, but then my mom found my wallet…

If I recall correctly ‘Little Annie Fanny’ was originally a lad named ‘Goodman’

As an adult, you can prepare for broccoli. Girls? Never.

Girls, broccoli and the occasional Scoutmaster. Sorry, just a serious note.

“Be prepared! And be careful not to do
Your good deeds when there’s no one watching you
If you’re looking for adventure of a new and different kind
And you come across a Girl Scout who is similarly inclined
Don’t be nervous, don’t be flustered, don’t be scared
Be prepared!"

Broccoli, OK. But asparagus before girls, no. Pineapple juice and celery.

I got over the girls part, but broccoli is still yucky.

That knot tying may come in handy for when you’re ready for girls, kid….

The kid needs a broccoli brother. I like the flowers and my brother likes the stems. So we trade flowers for stems.

The Boy Scouts did everything to keep you unprepared for any kind of a normal life, as I recall.

I must say, I have always liked all vegetables, even as a youth, and women too…never went through the abovementioned syndrome
