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.

If you look close, the brain is totally blocked off!
It certainly is a teenager brain …

It woulda been fun to actually try to trace it out with the mouse, but you get that $%^&&* “DRAG THIS” thing! I #@#$%^ HATE that thing!

Funny Greg. If this was a newspaper, I would have turned the page around. Since I do not have blonde roots, I just read upside down. …. Though I was looking for for the brick wall around the teenager’s brain.

OH also …
LEST WE FORGET
I’m glad to see “BC” writers Mastroianni and Hart haven’t forgotten … but nearly every cartoonist has decided their strips aren’t good enough for posting Remembrance/Armistice/Veterans Day accolades in. SHAME ON YOU GREG.

Sorry posting this message on all the strips I read, as only 1 of my strips had balls enough to Remember. So no offence to you.

True. Most of the countries that The Buckets run in celebrate one of those holidays or another. I’ll do better next year. Now, I gotta get back to drawing the Christmas cartoons.

That was the first thing I looked at, too… I figured that was the gag so I looked right for the punchline. ;-)
