Chuckles

File name: Provost, Philip M.

Grade: GS-5 (CIA)

Despite the decomissioning of the GI Joe team, high-level spooks in the government felt that they needed to keep an eye on the leaderless Cobra fragments. Thus for the past few years, Chuckles has been working at Extensive Enterprises under the name "Charles Joseph." Still, he managed to keep in contact with Conrad Hauser, in fact building a stronger friendship because of Duke's work with the Agency during this time. Chuckles continues to feed intelligence out to Duke now that the Joe team has been reinstated, however he feels that his current identity within Cobra is too valuable to the team for him to give up.


For Chuckles, I chose to recreate the sweatsuit he wore at the beginning of the issue, instead of his Hawaiian shirt of the cover, or his 'Mister Joseph' persona later in the comic. I think it was the plot of this section (using the jogging as a cover to pass intel), and Chuckles' undyed hair but dyed goatee that drew me to this choice. This presented the challenge of choosing parts without military details, a direct opposite of most customs. The sneakers I think are the crowning paint detail of the figure. :)
