    There’s clearly something I’m missing. I don’t get it at all.

      My interpretation, the leaky bucket is watering the side of the path, why you see all the blooming flowers in the final panel. While the bucket is feeling like it’s worthless and not as good at the task of hauling water, it has an positive impact on things around it’s world.

      The incompetence of the bucket allowed flowers to thrive, leading them to eventually achieve sapience and overthrow the farmer. It was during the renaissance after the post industrial age of flower society that a new peaceful era dedicated to the worship of the wooden bucket began.

        Incompetence?

        Maybe old age. Or lack of self worth. Or grief. Or inexperience. Or… are we still taking about a bucket?

    The leaky wooden bucket has given up on itself just because it can’t perform like it used to, especially when compared. The bucket, however is unkind to judge itself so harshly. The leak watered and grew beautiful flowers along it’s path, and in the end still held enough water to help fill the pot.

      Don’t forget that it also helps to keep it balanced with the other bucket.

    When these people are fired for “not doing anything important”, everyone else’s work suffers.

          So the level of professionalism is… Expert. Not “Pro”?

            Essential. Basic. Standard. Deluxe. Office (SOHO). Pro. Expert. Enterprise. Datacenter.

            Software editions have taught me that so many levels have been invented that we might as well use level1,2,3,4,5 etc…

    At first I thought the flowers were fallen apples and I thought it was about finding a new use. Either way, it’s a positive sentiment.
