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.

How has his hair changed colour from childhood to adulthood? I thought that only happened to ducks and dalmations – stuff like that.

He dyes it. Just be glad they didn’t show his rainbow afro period.

I have a cousin who like me was sort of born on the wrong side of the blanket and she was kojak in a family full of wolf babies, then had fine see through hair,then blonde-steadily darkening and thickening ’til she looked nearly like the rest oif us.

Maybe Joey The Colorist had many, many strips to color that day and didn’t have time to work out the nifty time-travelling I did in today’s strip and just got the thing colored in a workmanlike fashion.

I’d rather a Samsung Home Theatre in a Box, if you please. :D

I think that’s actually supposed to be Grandpa in the first panel, and the dad is passing along the wisdom to Eddie in the second—

Sorry to hear about that Larry.

The ad line I like is “Not available in all states.”…… So, if it isn’t available in ANY state, why advertise?

Alaska and Hawai’i usually are mentioned as not being part of the sales range.
