Art holds a mirror up to Nature. The Buckets come along, turn the mirror on Art and say, “Look how goofy you’re acting. Now get to work, Art. Your kids need an Xbox 360.”
The Buckets comic strip isn’t a parody of family life. Parodies are filled with hearts and rainbows or enraged tirades and dramatic confrontation. The Buckets, though? Nope. Real life, baby. It’s funny because it’s on a page and not in your house at the moment. Next week, when it’s happening to you, you’ll thank us for reminding you that it’s supposed to be funny.
Greg Cravens looks in the mirror and see not himself, but all of us. And then he draws up the silly, grand, goofy, thrilling, utterly human things we do and calls it The Buckets.

Wonderful perspective in the first panel. It’s completely distracted me from the gag!

Should we assume that The Buckets and Hubris comics both going camping this week is pure coincidence?
Or do you own stock in a camping supply company, and this is some type of subliminal message aimed at getting us to buy camping gear?

Used that excuse peeing in front of my sister as a child. Could not accept that excuse in Vietnam.

Didn’t you know calories consumed while camping don’t count.

That’s correct, Eric. Calories taken in during camping trips are removed by mosquitos on the same trip. Even if you made Egg, bacon and cheese on buttered english muffins for breakfast on Sunday, and were back home in time for lunch. Right, everybody? Right?

So right!!! Another wonderful tip is that calories are blocked from the body on holidays! Love that one, because there is always a holiday somewhere, right?
As for today’s funny strip, Way to ruin a camping trip! Having rules that is!!! :(

I dunno – everything has to be done from the adults’ perspective?

Is the Village a ‘vanishing point’?
