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.

Hope there’s some new folks dropping by after the Kenosha Festival. “Hi!” Hope you guys had as much fun as I did. Kenosha is fantastic. Thanks again to Anne and John Hambrock!

Hello n00bs … welcome to Buckets (and Hubris’ secondary home). I’m Allan and I’ll be your “host” while you become Bucketeers. The cake is a lie. The cookies are a lie (Greg can’t afford to feed us all! LOL). However, the ‘friendship’, and witty comments from the likes of me, are very warm, friendly and welcoming. So welcome, and if you’ve read every word I’ve written, you’re now a Bucketeer. :D

The outlet is, in fact, a fire hazard. I have no idea if that’s funny, but occasionally, backgrounds need something extra in them, right?

I wanna grow up to be just like you dad. Only taller, thinner, smarter and have a smaller nose. And a better paying job.
Other than that I want to be just like you.
