The Buckets by Greg Cravens for December 01, 2011

“This looks like a job for….LETTERMAN!!!” (no, not David :D )

Watch your handwriting, too. Once, the kids wrote something on the grocery list and I spend hours looking for Nacho Chimps.

Daddy once went shopping for “broad” and it almost destroyed their marriage.

Fortunately, my sons’ spelling is pretty good. (My husband’s on the other hand…oy!) My favorite shopping list request was “SODA THATS NOT CRAP!!!!” [sic] This was after I’d bought “cane sugar” cream soda, instead of Throwback Dr Pepper.

She’s just playing with your head again, Eddie, you can clearly see the strap holding the fake beard on in panel three.

Love it! I gave up trying to teach my husband remedial phonics, because he has a hearing loss. Now we have a printed, laminated shopping list, so people only have to mark it with a Vis-A-Vis marker. I had to come up with a new system as I kept laughing (or was seriously confused) at what my husband would write for me to buy. He does understand the importance of spelling, just never got the hang of it.

Where are the fish balls?

I spent all day looking for desert topping….

I have a list on the fridge. The kids add things as we run out, sometimes the spelling isn’t even phonetic.

I guess this is what happens if you spell the words wrong!

only if he knows his numbers now

Eeeeeeeeeeek!

Larry is going to get a shock.

LOL xxx

My mother’s lowercase ‘a’ and ‘o’ were almost the same. I was always asking her to clarify if she wanted cake or coke. I teased her about always needing “bononos.”

You gotta watch them bononos. We rush past them in the zoo so the kids don’t see anything they shouldn’t..I’m currently trying to work out a Sunday strip that has Sarah in lipstick. I’m not sure why Comic Minister needs Sarah done up all fancy… and I’m certainly not sure how I’m going to make it work in an art style where nobody has lips, but by golly, Comic Minister has mentioned it a few times, and I’m gonna make it work just for him.

I had to forward this to my wife. We’re having to have our 7 year old tested for dyslexia, and this hit’s a little close to home, though it’s still funny.

Love it when the parents play with the kids.

Thanks, Neo, I thought I was the only one who remembered.Though maybe Letterman should have just shifted the original R around :D

Where are all the December 2nd strips?
