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.

2 cups before work, one for each break as well as one during lunch = 1 pot of Nuclear Coffee (My work mug is a big one)
Plenty enough for me and probably far more than enough for most people

I don’t measure coffee by 2 or 3 cups a day. It;’s usually 2 or 3 pots a day

I drink 2 cops in time of peace
And 2 in time of war
I drink 2 cups before I drink 2 cups
And then I drink 2 more

Caffien works the same way as cocaine in this area. After awhile the body adjusts and you have to take heavier doses to get the same effect. Eventually no amount can help you so you take it just to keep the withdrawal effects away.

I remember those withdrawals. ohhhh….. never again! And now…. I have a Kuerig. With little pods of coffee. (or I can grind my own if I want). So I have a cup when I get home from work. … Nice relaxing cup before making dinner.
