Episode Summary
Episode 3 presented the left side of the unassembled 40th Anniversary Radical Rick figure.
The post combined the continuing visual reveal with a humorous piece of Radical Rick history: the character did not speak in the comic series. It compared that silence with Silent Bob and invited Kevin Smith to respond.
The episode also directed audiences to the Fireside BMX Chat featuring Radical Rick creator Damian X. Fulton.

Original Published Text
If you are following our #rebuildradicalrick campaign, we would like to show you a different side of Radical Rick - his left side.
Fun fact: The main character had no speaking lines in the #comic series. How many other men can say that - not Rick. I wonder what Silent Bob would say? Kevin Smith, thoughts?
This figure is available for viewing as part of the museum’s collection.
There is more to learn and you can start by listening to our fireside chat at https://youtu.be/vtVr6GBJtlM?feature=shared

Archival Context
Episode 3 continued the campaign’s examination of the initial figure component by documenting its left side.
The episode demonstrates how the campaign used each physical view of the artifact to introduce a separate cultural or historical connection. Here, the visual documentation led into a discussion of Radical Rick’s silence within the comic series and a playful comparison with Silent Bob.
The reference to Kevin Smith also extended the post beyond BMX into broader comic and popular culture. The accompanying Fireside BMX Chat link connected the episode directly with Damian X. Fulton’s firsthand account of Radical Rick and BMX history.
