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.

Now all his toys are glued together.
Yes chefcass, super cute avatar. Thanks Number Six for the enlargement. Had to sit and watch for a minute. Looks like he’s punching all the right keys.

Eddie, Boy Genius … partially.
Morning Bucketeers, I hope you all remembered to “Fall Back” into “Standard Time”.

Most moms don’t like piles of stuff left lying around, candy or toys or clothes.

excellent idea Eddie. But what do you do when you want to play with the toys?

@Number Six
Thanks to you and Perkycat. I’m watching my own cat, snoozing and am reminded: “My cat loves the sun and the sun loves him”
