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.

Kids can do this without even being in the room – or indeed, the house!
So can dogs.

I dread coming home from work right now. With all the dogs and puppies in my house (total of 12), I just never know what I am coming home to.

My greyhound is a paper-shredder and a stealer of noms on the counter top.

I gave up having the house look perfect while there were still kids in the house. I finally have my non-chaos life back. Don’t get me wrong it was fun while they were here. But I don’t miss the craziness one bit. (Grandchildren are a wonderful substitute) :)

The days you do the most are the ones that look like you’ve done the least.

Poor Sarah… She should make them clean the mess up themselves.
With dire warnings and threats if they refuse to do it.
LOL xxx
