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.

My step-daughter never makes it to midnight
We toasted the New Year with sparkling cider around 9:30 and she went to bed, leaving the rest of the night to just my wife and I
Happy New Year!

We had not intended to stay up, as my wife has to work today; but her toy poodle had other ideas. He was barking at the fireworks/gunfire until well after midnight.

I took a nap on the couch so I could stay up for it. Hate to admit I’m under 50!

I love the smell of gunpowder at midnight. Smells like… New Years.

I have friends, who when their three daughters were under 10, would turn the clocks ahead … at “Real” 6pm, they would mysteriously jump to 9pm. At “Real” 9pm, it would be “Fake Midnight” and the girls and us would count down, the girls would go to sleep. The adults would all sit around, talking until “Real Midnight”. LOL
