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 his hands are stuck together, I think he’s praying that Mom won’t kill him!

@OldestandWisest
How else did he get the super glue in his hair?
AND as he’s saying Superglue being waterproof is a DISADVANTAGE I would assume his hands are glued together.
@Gary Albert – he had the clothes on BEFORE he put the glue in, of course.

I think that you can get it out with nail polish remover.

It either that or ripping the skin off your hands as you tear your hands apart.

When I was a kid (Junior High age) I dressed as a 50’s dude for Halloween – jeans, black boots, white T-shirt and leather jacket. Not knowing any better (like Toby) I put Vaseline in my hair to slick it back. Took days to wash it all out.

Yikes. Acetone might work to free his hands, but next picture we are likely to see is Toby with a buzz cut.

Or some acetate or something… yeah, I swear there is something to break it down.

Just use lotion. It will break down the bond and once apart you can just rub more in to remove it.

Its Sarah’s expression that I love. “is this my child?” “how do I safely get it out of his hair?” “his hands are stuck together” “do I laugh now, or later?”
.
“Is this really something I want to own up as one of my children?”
