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 feel it, even when I have the phone on its holder in the car, and I’m listening to the music. I’ll grab my pocket for the phone, then realize I’m listening to it already.

Poor guy. Does he have lots of money and the family is trying to prove him mentally incompetent. If you see the guys in the white coats, run as fast as you can!

I like to keep my cellphone in my Mighty Morphin Power Rangers Underoos just waiting for it to vibrate!

That’s a great joke! And so simple I can’t believe I never heard it before.
@Agent54: Did you see “Titanic”? Lots of icy dead people.

Do you see the men in the white coats? No? Good. Then they’re well hidden. Don’t go looking for them. You won’t find them. You can’t see them. …….
