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.

The food… it all looks so INNOCENT! Who’d ever suspect a taco of attacking you from the inside?

Yes … who’d expect that green bread to be so bad for you!
OR that bacon dripping copious amounts of fat to be unhealthy?!

Agreed Larry.

Maybe if it is all “blue furry” as in the Teen Titan refrigerator. Starfire likes the furry food. But then she is an alien after all.

Crisp bacon…not a problem. But who knew fresh (or steamed) bell peppers (any colour) would cause heartburn.
