The Buckets by Greg Cravens for December 14, 2014

You’re not allowed to hit kids on the nose with a rolled newspaper anymore. Somehow, hitting them with a tablet isn’t quite the same thing.

Hear hear!!

Having done cartoons for a while now, I think if I tried to show a dog getting hit with a rolled up newspaper, I’d get a lot of calls for my resignation. I have, in fact, received letters and such complaining about my mistreatment of a dog that, in fact, is a cartoon character and doesn’t actually exist.

I see now.

Sneaky, Eddie.

Eh. It’s just people. Every society has it’s written rules and unwritten rules. Who has to lie in order to keep doing what we’ve been doing all along has to change every so often, but it’s all general pretense. The world doesn’t change much, but the people shouting the loudest rotate positions.

A fantastic realistic strip!

Terrific gag(s). I often forward this trip, including today’s, to my older brother. We are about the same age difference as Eddie & Toby though MUCH older. For my money The Buckets is the best strip currently being written.
