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.

That was always my approach. They were not allowed to tattle either unless someone was in emminent damger.

Great way to handle that! I’ll have to tuck this away in my memory for someday should I ever have kids.

I did this with my kids. They never really learned to tattle. Not so much some of the friends and cousins. The other kids are mostly baffled when they run up to me to tattle and get no satisfaction. Utter confusion on the part of a tattletale is hilarious, by the way.
