Captain Billy O'Hare!
Billy as Bucky O'Hare. For those of you who may not know Bucky, he was
star of a short lived 13 episode cartoon 1991 - 1992. His creators were
writer Larry Hama and artist Mike Golden. Bucky is captain of the
Righteous Indignation, a S.P.A.C.E. warship. S.P.A.C.E. stands for
Sentient Protoplasm Against Colonial Encroachment, said encroachment
being the evil toads as guided by their evil overlord KOMPLEX, a
computer. The cat girl thing is a crewman named Jenny, a psionic pilot
magician from Aldebaran. They are locked into a death struggle known as
the Toad Wars. There are other crewman, including a 4 armed duck who
is handy with a pistol.
I never saw this back in the day, and am only aware of it because it is
my job to know about talking rabbits. I have tried to watch the first
episode, but it don't get if for me. In fact, I think this cartoon
makes Clutch Cargo and his pals Spinner and Paddlefoot look like 2001.
Just sayin'. But some people saw it as kids and liked it. One of those
was that outstanding artist Leothefox from Deviant Art. Very well,
this post is dedicated to him. He makes his own animated stuff and very
good it is too.
Leo talked me into returning to Deviant Art, which I left in a snit. He
is a great artist and a wonderful person. Here is one of his witty and
well done cartoons-
And here is Captain Bucky-
And now First Mate Jenny-
Not the best picture but there is a lot of Rule 34 porn out there of
her, and Bucky, so I thought this picture best. Not being a devotee I
cannot always tell fan art from the cartoon, wretched though it is. By
the way, Mike Golden's artwork is superior. Here is the Wiki entry for
the entire Bucky thing:
It's a wonder any of us survived childhood.
