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.

Nothing wrong with ‘The Nightmare Before Christmas’…

Nope. Nothing wrong with it. But that doesn’t mean that Norman Rockwell would have put it in a painting.

…Cartoonists, on the other hand, will drop it in anytime we get the chance.

Sometimes Christmas isn’t what you anticipated. Especially when there are children involved. Just enjoy the moment in all it’s craziness.

My mom made herself NUTS one year tracking down a reindeer sweater for my dad. They’re not easy to get in West Tennessee. Not a lot of call for them, apparently. Just absurd.

Just try depicting a Christmas of 1835, very different from the 20th century and 21st century. For a time in the 1600’s the Puritan Fathers forbid it here in their nice new Theocracies they set up here. Griped about it being such a “Pagan Holiday” so nothing but stern pious prayers.
