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.

Ice cream isn’t just a breakfast food anymore. It’s good anytime.
Don’t touch my Klondike bars, and you won’t get hurt.

Everybody knows you can’t grow good ice cream out of season.

You guys Tweet? We’re doing the ‘live twitter’ thing this Friday! Everyone gets to see how quickly I type, and how many typos there are when I hurry! Prepare your questions now! I suggest things like ‘where do you get your ideas’ and ‘what kind of pen do you use’.

@Greg Cravens
Obviously – being a Yank – you’ve never had “Chapmans” Ice Cream (or Laura Secord). Some of the best damn ice cream you can get at a grocery store, or in a mall (respectively).
It’s also available year round. :P

I’ve never seen an ice cream truck run during the winter in Florida. Though Eddie if you want good ice cream, learn to make it yourself. Trust me!

Now we know what not to ask – you will be too prepared for those.

I agree with Toby on this one.

I remember Ice Cream trucks. They aren’t any any my current town – too small, I guess.

Short sleeves aren’t enough, Eddie! You have to be wearing shorts, not long pants, if you expect them to come!
