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 problem is missing calls, even with the phone on vibrate AND the ringing at max.

Sometimes it’s the feel of the buttons or the rubber case sliding against the fabric of your pocket that make you think it is vibrating.

Scary when Toby starts sounding like the sane one.

It happens to me. And this was before I ever heard of the syndrome.

Phantom Phone Syndrome IS real. I’ve got it myself.
It’s annoying as fudge.

Toby sane? Nah. That would mean he actually thinks. And that is just not possible.
