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.

I did make my son start doing his own laundry when I began realizing he was putting the clean clothes I washed for him back on his floor instead of in his closet/drawers and they were back in the laundry room, still folded, in with his dirty clothes! He was in grade school. His wife is very happy he knows how to do that kind of stuff!

I hear ya’ girl! My youngest learned to change the kitchen garbage can and now does it regularly when needed. He once said to me, “If you want me to change the garbage can, why don’t you just tell me to”? This as he is putting more garbage in a garbage can that already can’t close because it is so full! I said, “you mean you can’t see it needs changed”? He says, “OK Mom, point taken”! I don’t have to tell him anymore, LOL!

haha, that sounds a lot like my daughter. She would do any list I needed her to do, although not in my sense of timing, but she wanted it all written down. Couldn’t handle it if I would just come up with one thing or another as the day went on. She was not pro-active . Now she keeps a neater house than I do, by far. lol
And my son still makes some mistakes in the laundry. He accidentally bought a jug of fabric softener thinking he was getting detergent and wondered why the laundry was getting so funky.
