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.

I don’t think I dreamed much as a kid, still don’t. Even when I do, the details fade quickly.

Night before last I dreamed I was getting married. Long white dress and everything. I was waiting to walk down the aisle, the music had started and everything, then just as I was about to look on the face of the man I was marrying, the phone rang. At first I tried to pretend it was a part of the music, but that didnt work. It was my pharmacy telling me my scripts were ready. I wanted to kill the phamacist, but it wouldnt change things. But I do hope I land in the same dream about the same time. I dont choose to marry again, but it would be nice to see who my intended was. Heck, I might even give up my widowhood if it was someone who didnt require viagra!
