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 problem is I can’t drink it fast enough . . .

Nope, no problem. His hands are still rock steady.

His only problems seem to be having to have a new cup for each serving and then not knowing what to do with it after he finishes.

The problem is he needs a bigger desk. The one in the corner office might be better suited for him.

He must be IT. That is what all the IT desks look like at work.

Switch to my Nuclear Coffee, it doesn’t take much to get you going and keep you going
Some days the problem is stopping

More like a dish washing problem.

@Doctor Toon
I read the comic and thought – all he’d need is one cup of Doctor Toon’s Nuclear Coffee for the day.
He doesn’t have a coffee problem, he has a work problem.

My other thought was that maybe he IS trying to drink my Nuclear Coffee and doesn’t have an unobtanium mug
Doesn’t look like anything there on the desk could hold it for long

No coffee problem. Just a mug problem.

Yes, he obviously needs a pod or Keurig machine of his own!

I think he does.

That’s what drives me nuts when cleaning offices. Lots of the people there have at least 2 or 3 mugs on their desks and it’s our job to take them to the washer. If I ever stop caring about a paycheck, I’m going to leave them on the desk and see what messages I get the next day.

Better than an alcohol problem!
