Bittersweet Candy Bowl

Aww. And uh-oh. What’s gonna happen next?
Edit:Yes one of the first people!

Oh no ): This doesn’t look good with Abbey’s dad…I feel really bad for him. But seeing Daisy interact with her father is pretty cute!

Blocked the last name again

Daisy’s dad seems nice. Mr………….

Ah, young Abbey always has the most adorable facial expressions…

And present day Abbey looks so old, both at heart and in his expression.

Go papa Daisy!!

Awwww… Daisy looks adorable. Poor abbey. Remembering at a time like this.

Oh dear…. I knew this would happen. I knew it… However, I was surprised to know that Abbey’s mom is alive, since I thought she was dead last time we saw her, which make me think what happened between Abbey’s parents… I hope it ends happily for Abbey and Molly!

Abbey’s Fathers mistress sure is grabbin’ a piece of dat ❚❚❚.

Ah, cheating on your wife, I assume, currently near your son’s school…what a nice man.

See we’re gonna get some more info about Abbey’s Dad.

Panel three, classic way to embarrass your daughter.

Is that - is that Morse code? Is Abbey talking in Morse code? Is Daisy’s last name in Morse code?

my heart is being tortured by this lovely page 3 bahhhhh! daisy looks soooooo sweet!

I rather like the transition in this page, even if chibi Abby seemed out of place. Overall, this page is a little better than the previous ones (not to say that the previous pages aren’t good.) I’m looking forward to seeing what happens next.

Daisy’s dad is so precious

Daisy is so ADORABLE!
Poor Abbey, though. I really like this page, Taeshi! The effects and all are awesome!

Cheating jerk… So that is what the deal is with abby’s dad. But I still wonder where the anger problems come in???

As much as I hate to say it Abbey’s dad looks like a boss. Sorta like a furry version of Albert Wesker.

Those last names man. Never gonna give ‘em to us.

Of course he was a cheating ❚❚❚❚❚❚❚.

Aww that’s cute <3 I love Daisy so much xD
God Dangit abbey, let Janet deal with your mum and stop dwelling, it makes thigns depressing!
And is his dad…. WITH ANOTHER WOMAN?! -LEGASP-
His dad sucks. =_=

I just made a connection between BRIAN BLESSED and Mr Daisy’s Dad. So thanks for painting him as a Large Ham for me *Gutbusting laughs bro*

Dads, You’ve got to love ‘em! Unless they’re like Abbey’s dad, then they can go to HELL…

Daisy’s outfit looks pretty cut I gotta say ^.^ and I love the transitioning this time with the flashbacks Taeshii is really outdoing herself this time ^.^

@The Good Doctor Nono, see, he needs to slaughter over a 1,000 cows and make some RIDICULOUSLY tight leather pants first. Ho, great page too. ❚❚❚❚in’ Abraham…

=^.^= awwww!<3 Daisy’s Dad
T.T Abbey’s Dad….!

Not to critique, but why didn’t you have Abbey just say “sir”, it extends the same level of respect and avoids the issue of last names? Having him go to mumbling for the sake of avoiding last names seems a bit off putting and out of character for a usually confident character. But it could just be me, just a humble suggestion from a reader.

Psh I wish, I would be smudged in the middle seat with my boyfriend crushed in-between my 4 older brothers, one of Which would be holding a shot gun and another wearing his wrestling championship medals… While my dad drives the car asking my older sister to please take the safety off of the .10 mil revolver he keeps in the glove box. Yup. Sounds about right. Lol I have a protective family.

abbey…i’m so sad, looking this face

Daisy is absolutely adorable in the third frame. Keep it up! ^_^

Why do you taunt us by not showing us Daisy’s dad? ]:

Wait a second. That woman isn’t Abbey’s mom…!

Awwww, no panel of Daisy’s fuzzy daddy
Wow that woman isn’t even Carla, is it? Just how many b*tches did he have

Ooooohhh jeeze. He’s a cheater AND abusive? Man I wish I could deck this guy!

just for the record taeshi, you kinda forgot to draw abbeys eye brow and outline the eye on the third panel. but besides that, i really think this is some of the best drawing of these 2 characters iv ever seen

I love how we’re not seeing Daisy’s dad’s face…. so…. frizzy…… and Jeezus… Just when I thought Abbey’s dad couldn’t have gotten any sleazier…..

Daisy’s dad is conveniently hiding in the front seat while we see Abbey and Daisy in the back. For now I am assuming that Daisy s dad looks the same in the tumblr comics.

Kid’s got some sorta PTSD or something, Jesus.

Hmmm…..Wow, Abbey father.

I PREDICTED YOU’D KEEP THOSE LAST NAMES A SECRET.

SO I…..will have to just deal with it…..

P.S. Abby has the worst upbringing in the comic so far. Hope he gets better.

Oh god, Abbey…

Damn, Abbey’s dad looks like a sex offender/hobo in that 3rd to last panel.

Not that that’s a critique of the drawing, that’s actually probably the sleezy look Taeshi was going for.

Well, unless the BCB version of a friendly man-on-woman hug includes ❚❚❚-squeezing, I think it’s safe to say that Abbey’s dad be cheatin’.

Guy in the 3rd to last panel is a flashback, not Daisy’s dad. Abbey’s not wearing a goofy sweater in it.

Oh ❚❚❚❚ me I read “Abbey’s dad” as “Daisy’s dad”

Abbey’s dad looks like one of those old molesters in the bullet train.

I really like how the genetics work here. Maybe, somehow Daisy and Abbey’s kids will get the stripes?

Leeets do the time warp again!
Wait, don’t we get to see Mayor McFuzz again?

Yeah, CatTrooper is right, whats up with that Taeshi? You already drew a lovably fuzzy Mr. Daisy’s Dad, so why not show a fuzzball with a mustache driving a car too? It’d be a laugh.

That cheating ❚❚❚❚❚❚❚…

wow…so abbys dad was a cheater…that mother ❚❚❚❚er
….how UNpleasent this is….

Well, now I can see where Abbey’s ears came from…

As if it wasn’t bad enough that Abbey’s dad mercilessly beat his wife…

Is it just me or does Abbey’s dad look like a Lombax?

DIRTY ROTTON CHEATER!

Poor Abbey. What a terrible thing to see.

MISTER MORSE CODE!

nothing like thinking back on your father’s cheating ways when going out with your girlfriend to a party to have fun.

abbey needs to get over it, his father was a cheating, abusive ❚❚❚❚❚❚❚, either hunt him down and kill him, or forget he exists, no point in letting some worthless ❚❚❚❚❚❚❚ ruin your life even after he’s long gone.

well, on a lighter note… daisy is still cute.

Two Kinds guy called, he wants his Keidran back.

Wait to ruin Abbey’s innocence, Abraham……..Way to go……>:(
I’m already dreading that something happened to Abbey’s mom………D:

Wait…
Tall…
Creepy white eyes…
Is Abby’s dad a enderman/slenderman?!
Also, to go with the crowd: Abby daisy awwww derp!
Which I actually agree with.

Curtisimo - mr. TEET TET, translated, or maybe XK

……,……,…….,………………………………………..wow poor abby

Aww! Daisy looks really cute with her flowers! I also like the see-through reflection on panel 4.

Sweater.
Adorable Daisy.
awesome dad.
Cool reflection.
cheating ❚❚❚❚❚❚❚.

That is all.

Daisy’s father is all mysterious, you never see his face. Oooooh

Cheater, cheater, pumpkin eater!

First part: Nice
Second part: Oh my goodness the plot thickens. Something is going down in this neighborhood.

I will treat Daisy right!……………… well, between hallucinations.
What?
……. nothing~

You had to say that word, didn’t you, Daisy?

Where did Abbey’s eyebrow go in the third panel? Other than that minor mistake, the page looks great and I love the reflections off the car!

“Death of a Salesman” comes to mind.
How will it end? Can’t wait for Monday!

Hoorah! Best comic I’ve read in a while I don’t really read comics with animals as the characters but this is the best and only exception. The plot and art is amazing (I love how you do the frames) and it’s updated tri-weekly! Insta-favorite!!

Little Abbeys watching u 0.0…

ah… taeshi… do you have isperation in your live or what cause this is like a live drama…

It’s been mentioned many times before but I, too, love the present-flashback transition.

On a side note, how is Daisy’s last name pronounced then? “Daisy Dotdotdashsquiggle”? “Daisy asdjgdfhghhh”? “Daisy mumblemumble”?

Also, as if brutally beating your wife wasn’t enough, Abraham YOU…YOU…CHEATER!!!! CHEATER! CHEATER! CHEATER! CHEATER! (cue an army of highschool girls appearing out of nowhere to beat the [bleep] out of him) Taeshi-sama, could you please make that happen?

Abbey’s that can go burn in hell

(So….I can’t use any emoticon because there’s this filter that tells me I’m using too much….I was only going to use one -.- )

Lol I wrote Abby’s that….I meant Abby’s dad xP

aah man that sucks for Abbey T-T

Ah HELL naw! His dad just did THAT?!

Nothing is more unforgivable than cheating on your partner; even more so when you’re stupid about it. Clearly he is within walking distance of Abbey’s school so getting caught is just THAT much easier. I mean seriously, bro? Couldn’t just choose a dirty motel room three towns over like a classy person?

Just being pedantic here, wouldn’t panel three make more sense with “get” replaced with “need”?

I know, I know, pedanticness isn’t always the answer. Great chapter so far, keep it up!

i KNEW IT! Totally called the cheating ❚❚❚❚❚❚❚ plot twist. So he’s an abusive, short tempered, child endangering, whack job with infidelity on the side. Can i get a Coke with that?

Are we going to have a mental breakdown scene with Abbey at the party? He’s reliving these memories and it cannot be good. When he relives the climactic memory, I dunno what’s gonna happen, especially in front of everyone.

Taeshi, you really need to distinguish between “right now” and “flashback” a lot better. It gets confusing.

And yeah, of course the guy cheats. Abusive a-holes like him always do. They have no respect for anybody or anything, and their sense of their own male power makes them feel like the rules don’t apply to them.

I hate guys like that.

well he was a little ninja wasn’t he?

My dad was a little like that. He was more mentally abusive than physically, but I can understand where Abby is coming from here. Poor guy, I hope he’s able to make it through the party without breaking down.

Of course he cheats, he was talking to his mistress in Abbey’s flashback in New Beginnings. Has everybody but me seriously forgotten?

@Fruvous:

I really don’t see how you can find it confusing. The art style changed a bit, Abby was no longer wearing his sweater, he looked like a little kid, his dad was there, and he had a backpack on, not to mention the thick black borders, which I am fairly sure Taeshi only uses for flashbacks. (Not positive on that one though.)

But really, totally can’t wait for more pages. This promises to be quite the emotional chapter.

Well, there are some who-oars it seems. I got what I wanted. Thank you taeshilly

Always waiting and checking this comic has had it’s toll on me, and now I realize who I wan’t to ship with. (regarding the Lucy/Mike factor) Anybody. I no longer care who gets with who. I used to be a MikeXLucy shipper, but now, I realize they don’t deserve each other. I’m going to leave for now…

I’ll come back someday, to read the finished comic, but having consumed other media and realized that all parties are wrong, I have no heart in the matter. Let the stones fall where they may. I will no longer hope, just enjoy.

She COULD be a lot clearer on flashbacks. @Insert name or whatever (is it that hard to come up with a name?) If you noticed, she uses the thick black borders on panels 2 3 and 4 as well… Which, in your ideal, is “obviously” the present…

that fourth panel is really lovely. aaah I can’t wait till the end of this chapterrr ;____;

“Thanks for driving us, Mr. Dotted line!” Lol.

Nice page! It sets up the mood really well for Abbey’s parent’s Backstory. Looking forward to what’s to come!

Flashbacks chapter, take 2!

The white flowers I thought was just a bunch of snow and leaves and I was like “LOLWUT” but now it’s better drawn so cool

I knew it! Poor Abbey .

Sweet comic and funny too

looks like agent 47, all like, “im gonna kill ya…..later”

Sooo…. suspence….
You do know how to keep people reading. Also, to take a quote from Paulo,
“Attention crazy feminists, we have a cheater on the premisis, over…”

CHEATER!CHEATER!CHEATER!CHEATER!CHEATER!CHEATER! CHEATER!CHEATER!CHEATER! : to Abbeys dad.

BTW, I do most of these comment posts on my Wii

Next lets do an in detail flashback about Paulo, I’d like to hear more backstory on him
or w/e Taeshi has planned.

Why that heartless, gutter-brained sack of ❚❚❚❚…

NO! NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO! ABBEY’S DAD YOU BETTER BACK AWAY FROM THAT WOMAN!!! >8U

Wow… and Abbey’s being all ninja and sneaking around! Poor Abbey had to actually witness the acts…

<3 Abbey’s face, though, Taeshi!

So did abbys dad cheat on his wife too? Does that mean abby will cheat on my daisy? Better not or paulo and i will kick his arse.

All that I was getting out of the page at first was this: NO LAST NAME FOR YOU.

TAESHI
I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW
THAT YOU’RE AWESOME
and sorry for the caps
but I wanted you to know that
:D

finally we get to see a picture of Abby’s father!

How can none of you see that his last name is “Nonsense”, he says it right there lol.


Jk, but I really luv this page

Abby, is so adorable. ^.^ I’m not taking Taeshi’s name.
