The Buckets by Greg Cravens for September 20, 2020

Inspired by an old iPod ad or a Shel Silverstein cartoon?

I was thinking of a sequence on 9 Chickweed Lane a few years ago.

Slippers, Larry. They are the difference between discomfort and dismay.

We have 4 cats

Hairballs dont hurt, but they can be even harder to spot in the dark

No dogs, no cats, no kids. Lonely, but secure in the dark.

Walk like an Egyptian…..xD

In our house it was puppy’s squeak toys.

Or try making your kids pick up their stuff before bed I do

My wife creates obstacle courses with her excessive clutter everyday. More stubbed toes and banged knees than I can count. It will cause my death probably. That’s life…..

Maybe keep a push broom near the bed to clear a path.

Do the manta ray shuffle, Larry! Barely lift your feet at all, just enough to move forward, with a sweeping motion. If it’s good enough to keep people in the ocean from stepping on rays (a real concern in some places, and dangerous), it should be good enough for avoiding legos and other small objects.

Like the Titanic going through those icebergs.

My wife went to every tag sale in the area and picked up all the Legos she could. We ended up with a 10 gallon bucket full of them. You haven’t experienced pain until you’ve walked across a floor that you can’t see because there’s two inches of Legos covering it!

Cool visuals and a fun gag on this one. It inspires me to look twice for Legos, too.

Well done, Greg.
