The Buckets by Greg Cravens for December 14, 2014
Transcript:
Hey, Toby. Your hair is cool. I wish mine was like that. Go away, champ. Toby! If you can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. What's it get me if I say something nice? A cookie. Seriously? Ok. Eddie, I never say so, but you're fun to hang out with. Cookie. Thanks! Ha! Mom's training you with treats, like a dog! Why would you say something mean like that? I already got my cookie.

You’re not allowed to hit kids on the nose with a rolled newspaper anymore. Somehow, hitting them with a tablet isn’t quite the same thing.

Having done cartoons for a while now, I think if I tried to show a dog getting hit with a rolled up newspaper, I’d get a lot of calls for my resignation. I have, in fact, received letters and such complaining about my mistreatment of a dog that, in fact, is a cartoon character and doesn’t actually exist.

Eh. It’s just people. Every society has it’s written rules and unwritten rules. Who has to lie in order to keep doing what we’ve been doing all along has to change every so often, but it’s all general pretense. The world doesn’t change much, but the people shouting the loudest rotate positions.

Terrific gag(s). I often forward this trip, including today’s, to my older brother. We are about the same age difference as Eddie & Toby though MUCH older. For my money The Buckets is the best strip currently being written.
