The Buckets by Greg Cravens for February 19, 2012

Watch out for the Legos, they can mess up a vacuum cleaner.It’s no wonder he gets bored, poor kid doesn’t have any toys.Nice job coloring all the details.

We shovel them up ast least ten times a day.

I live alone, and this how I have to clean my house.

This is one of those cartoons you write/doodle, then say, “That’s gonna take forever!” Then sit on it for a while, then decide that the fact that it’s gonna take forever adds some kid of visual value. So, the fact is that I’m lazy, but I’ll extend myself for you guys. Sometimes.

I like the Eddie head doll in the middle of the pile.

Wowwwwwww!

Has Eddie ever got himself LOST in all that?

LOL Cute!

That won’t work Eddie!

I really like it, though I personally could have done without the first two panels. The joke is definitely clear enough just looking at the last panel.That’s only my opinion, though.

Thanks, Greg Cravens. The art in this one is impressive.

And, @Greg Trail …But without the first two panels, we’d miss the close-ups on Eddie’s eyes! I love those eyes.

When we were little, we had to give away/toss half our stuff at least once a year. After a couple of times of this, it made us realize what was important to us so we took care of it. When we started building up surplus, we knew it was going to Goodwill or the trash so trades were implemented as much as possible and we trashed broken stuff ourselves. Otherwise when Mom went to clean whatever was out was gone when we went back to it after coming home from school. If it was put away or shelved properly, all was fine and our stuff was left alone.

I really enjoyed playing “find the stuff in the details” with this strip, Greg. The skull is a nice touch. This is pretty much what our basement looked like when I started cleaning it 6 weeks ago. It’s still bad, but not as bad. Love it!

Awesome strip. Too funny, and great detail. Thanks for extending yourself for us today, Greg!

Its all in the details…….. the checkers board, Lego building (there is a square ‘something’), Eddie’s dummy is out of his suitcase, and I found the football and soccer balls. .Thanks for extending yourself for us @Greg

I think I tried this when I was Eddie’s age.

My 12 year old and I spent several hours cleaning his room over the weekend. We were able to vacuum the entire room when we were done. AND we filled a trash can.
