Plot: After a hard childhood, a wayward North Carolina boy with a steely determination and an iron-clad resiliency becomes the first member of his family to go to college. Ultimately, after shitty jobs and eye-opening life experiences, he gets married, gets fat, gets nut cancer, earns a Ph.D., and becomes a university professor. Then, eventually, he dies from the accumulated weight of his life's experiences, tempered by his blatant, almost autistic honesty and sincerity, which makes him the bane of all who know him (the perfect blend of Linus from Charlie Brown and Linus from Lost, ) or by a heart attack since he just can't put down the burgers. Yeah, probably by heart attack, or stroke. That's a possibility too. Or the cancer. We can't forget the cancer. That gets everybody at least once or twice, right?
Where was I? The link embedded in this post's title is actually about James "Bucky" Barnes, Captain America's sidekick, and the actor who will play him in the upcoming Cap movie. Still, throw in a guest appearance by Steve Rogers in that first description, and, well, you've got a scene about the main character reading comic books...... ;)
