The Buckets by Greg Cravens for August 01, 2011

Before you ask… I have no idea what happened to the color today.

Future Congressmen

Didn’t I see this above the fold the last week?

Greag, love your work – glad you’re proactive in denouncing the lack of colour.

Glad you like the cartoon Allan. I still don’t know the whys and whats about the black & white today.

Eddie is so cute..

This is so timely.

I’m going to have to make sure my daughter sees this. She has a 6 year old daughter and a 3 year old son and they fight like this sometimes too. :)

Got word from the syndicate. This problem cropped up late last night, and they weren’t sure what caused it, but they’re trying to get it resolved quick as possible. On the upside, The Buckets title banner is up at the top of the page, now, and the Facebook connection is up on the right-hand side. Now, I gotta finish re-doing my own website and get that back up. Geesh.

I agree… Comics great with or without color!

Oh, Number 3… as long as I include wide-eyed Eddie, I think I can get a giggle from you. I’m always glad when you comment, it makes me feel like I’m accomplishing something good.

@jelindley I have a 17 year old and 12 year old who STILL fight like that….sigh.

Who needs color. This is rapidly becoming my favorite strip and I don’t even have kids (at least not of the 2-legged variety). I read toons for the expressive art and sharp humor, two things you have nailed, Greg.

I love the banner of Eddie being Eddie. And I’m glad Greg, that you mentioned it just got there. I’m sooo not with it sometimes, I thought you had it for a couple of weeks.

Yes she does mind.

Thanks, Llywus42! Glad you’re here!

It helps when siblings grow up & each chooses to live in a different State. Those on planet especially love those not.(Happy b’day, last week, sis.)

I have a print out of one of your strips hanging in my hearing test booth. It’s the one where Mom is worried about Eddie’s hearing. Dad says “Toby has ice cream.” In runs Eddie saying “I want ice cream.” Dad says “quit worrying.”It gives parents who are there to get the kid’s hearing tested a good laugh.

Saucy has been reading The Buckets for quite a while, it seems. That cartoon was a pretty big number of years ago, wasn’t it?
