MEET CAPTAIN BUCKO BOY!
The official mascot of The Clutch Academy
The world calls me Captain Bucko Boy, but you can just call me Bucko Boy.
Hear me and hear me good. Only my mom and dad call me Bobby.
Nobody else.
So don’t even try it.
I’m just your average kid. I get mostly B’s, but when I don’t study, I get C’s. Then my dad makes me do push-ups. Not because I got a C, but because I didn't try.
And honestly… he’s kind of right.
When I actually study and pay attention, I get A’s. No problem.
But how am I supposed to pay attention all. the. time, when my brain keeps drifting to drawing! My pencil just gets to moving and the next minute you know I'm getting in trouble by my teacher, Mr. Borsley, for drawing the most epic, awesome comic book page ever! It's really not fair!
Like Bucko Boy vs. MOUNTAIN MILDEW, where
my dirty pile of laundry grows an EVIL life of it's own,
wanting to stink up the entire world!
Dun, dun, dun!
AHHHH! Run for your life!!!
Wait.
What was I talking about again?
Oh yeah.
My mind always drifts back to drawing.
Especially comics.
I’m sure you noticed by now that I have giant ears.
Like… really embarrassingly big ears.
I used to feel super self-conscious about them. I felt like everyone was staring at my ears and laughing at me when I wasn’t looking. Except for my older sister who laughs right in MY FACE! Ughhhh! That's why her breath smells like boiled eggs.
In all honesty, my ears made me feel sad.
But then something strange happened...
One day, my right ear started itching. You know that itch behind your ear that you can never scratch?
Actually… that gives me an idea.
Bucko Boy vs. the Invisible Spider!
An evil invisible spider goes around biting
people’s ears and making them sick.
But when the invisible spider tries to bite
Bucko Boy’s ear, it realizes that it bit off more
than it can chew!
Get it?
Because Bucko Boy has big ears.
Nevermind, it sounded better in my head.
Wait.
No.
I got the perfect name:
Bucko Boy vs. Dr. Doom Bug!
Yes. It’s perfect.
Okay, back to my ears.
One day, my ear was itching, but I couldn't
reach the itch with my hand!
So I decided to start moving my eyebrows up
and down really fast.
You see, my strategy was this: if I moved my eyebrows up and down fast enough, my ears would start to wiggle causing gravity to scratch the itch for me.
I saw some old guy do it on YouTube.
Let me just say that old guy on YouTube is genius because it actually worked.
I couldn't believe it. My ears started flapping like large eagle wings!
The next thing I knew, I was hitting my head on the bedroom ceiling!
I got so scared that I stopped moving my eyebrows and—
SMACK!
BUCKO BOY DOWN.
That’s when I realized
two things:
One: I CAN FLY!!!!
And two: maybe the thing that
made me feel weak
was actually my biggest strength!
What a coincidence.
Now I use my SUPER EARS to fight crime in my town.
I'm basically a celebrity.
We'll talk more inside the lab.
SEEYA!
Bobby
CAPTAIN BUCKO BOY THE GREAT!
