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.

So when a cannibal eats a comedian, does it taste funny?

If you get a shiver down your spine, it means someone just walked over your grave. Or so we said as kids.

A weird feeling translates as “someone had walked over my grave” kind of feelings.

But in Toby’s case…it probably translated into .. “if I study I might become somebody important” But then…. he laughed with Eddie and it went right out of his head, never to be seen again.

Or as I often say …
“Funny-weird, or funny ha-ha?”
