and Rob the human, in The Stinking. In addition to rants about his anticow crusade, Bucky also berates global warming as global stinking. Always on the defense against a monkey invasion, Bucky is armed with his own self-made arsenal of creative weaponry.It&’s one strange and scary little household in the apartment that Rob, Bucky, and the lumpy canine Satchel share.
