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 don’t wear watches anymore either… I look at the time on my phone or on the computer.

About the only time I wear a watch is when a costume requires a watch and fob. Besides there’s a clock in my car, one on each my computers, one on my phone, two in the living room, one in the Great Room, one on each of the microwaves, …

I like this one. I wonder how watch sales have been effected by people using their phones to tell time. I never wear a watch anymore.

Yeah. I used to feel naked with out my watch; now I never wear one, because my cell phone has much more accurate time.

Don’t have to flip my watch open or wait for it to warm up.

Clocks everywhere, but I still feel funny without my watch since I’ve been wearing one since I was about 6.

I ear a watch because it’s more convinient to tilt my wrist than pull my phone out of a pocket.

The phone is in the zippered pocket inside the zippered pocket. If I am to meet another pickpocket… I want him to actually work to get my phone.
The computer monitor at work has two different programs and each show a different time on its clock. The clock on the phone at work has a different time than the other two clocks.
. much easier to twist and look. Or point to wrist and ask someone.
