The Buckets by Greg Cravens for August 04, 2011

Boys, Go find a safe place to hide until your father gets home.

Coooool. the evil grin of `today is YOUR lucky day``

.the boys should just quietly walk backwards and hide in their room. Under the bed.

and to a little follow up to Tuesday`s strip ….. The boys should stick together as in 14AA41.(i`m learning. just that anything more than 3 letters is too much thinking.)

Joey,are you out there?

Just a minor glitch with the color.Nobody’s being cheap.

Darth Maul, Darth Vader…Darth Sarah? Is she in the pre-prequel or the sequel? No matter! The boys you’re looking for aren’t here. (wave of the hand)

Mr. Cravens? You’re comic scared me today. I think I saw that look in my womb-donors face a few hundred times.

I’m glad my parents both were proffessionals and I never saw them. However that Irish woman they hired had palms harder than bricks. I said, “You do it” once.

Don’t be concerned, Allan V… many people are born with the ability to do that look. It’s a natural ability to trigger the fight-or-flight instinct. I saw my father give the hairy eyeball to a dog once, who then quit defacing our lawn and ran across the street to hide. It’s a bit like using the Force.

By the way, Darth Rash will be my name when I become a Sith Lord. That, or Darth Wookalar.

Drat. I thought she was looking for something to spank them with.

Hey, Strod. Yeah, the character in the Around The Web box is Toby- an image that the folks at UU found when they were scrambling to get all the new pages done for the comics.com properties. It’s an old Scott Stantis image of him, probably from the early sales packages done around ‘91. I’ve got some new images to tuck in there, but as I say, the UU folks are up to their eyeballs trying to get everything running smoothly. I’m very grateful they’ve gotten my header banner and Facebook connection up, all things considered. WELCOME to The Buckets! Hopefully, we’ll have archives and things for you to dive into soon, and you’ll keep coming here to comment! And yeah, the research thing… creepy to think anyone would take the time, but gratifying that the comic strip is worth it to you.

I’m getting comments here and over at the Buckets Facebook page. We can spread out a little- if you have a Facebook account, click on the link at the right-hand side of this page and join us over there, too!

All I have to do is hang a big black trash bag on my kids door and they start to clean. They know I will use it, as I have in the past.

I can’t stop laughing at the Third panel..

Eddie is SO tiny.. But his eyes aren’t.

So cute.

LOL xxx

She is definietly up to no good!

Trying again <size=5>Hello!

Nope. Will try again another day. Guilt trip will work on them. Just that it may spill over a little and then Larry will start walking on glass.
