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.

Addicts can make excuses for any behavior that they want to justify.

I never worry about people thinking I’m nuts, actually I encourage it
As for my Nuclear Coffee, no one questions what is in that unobtanium thermos in my car as long as I can get as much work done as I do as fast and well as I do it

Coffee is your friend. I knew a guy who got a medical discharge from the Navy after drinking 20-25 cups a day. Did you know that caffeine overload looks a lot like Schizophrenia?

Coffee can be over done. I was hospitalized at the age of 31 for what was thought to be a hemorrhaging brain tumor. It turned out to be a muscle cramp in my neck that was caused by too much caffeine. It was not easy getting off the addiction, but I have not had coffee for the past 36 years and counting.

You must remember that coffee is not the only source of caffiene and other legal stimulants. Years ago my father had developed an irregular heartbeat. The cigarettes weren’t helping but the culprit was the ice tea he was drinking. That stuff was strong enough to etch glass.

He could have compared it to those individuals who cover their desks and work space with ceramic kittens, puppies or other animal or photos of all aspects of their life outside of work.

Larry Larry. Clear the clutter. Have ONE mug of coffee at your desk. Refill as needed. No one will complain about your coffee habit. All they will see is the one mug. .

pssst…. get one of those nice stainless steel mug with lids. Make sure its double hulled – that way you won’t burn your fingers.
