Lucy: Bleh!
Lucy’s mom: Oh, Lucy..

Lucy’s mom: I have a present for you..

*Lucy’s mom kneels down and ties a ribbon around Lucy’s neck.*
Lucy’s mom: I know it’s all a little scary, but remember..
Lucy’s mom: Mommy’s always going to be with you.

Lucy’s mom: If you ever feel lonely, this ribbon’ll remind you how much I love you.

Lucy: It’s kinda corny, I know, but it IS comforting.
Yashy: Your mom’s a goof.

Lucy: WHO ASKED YOU!!

Author commentary

Veronica: Wow, a dramatic flashback to how Lucy got her bow! Does this mean one day we’ll find out how Mike got his scarf?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Maybe some day!

Originally Lucy’s bow was given to her as a way to “validate” her femininity, which is honestly kind of a lame message! So in the new version of this chapter, Lucy’s mother has given Lucy her bow instead to show her love and support. A much healthier parental move than “You’re not predisposed to what society deems feminine? Well, you’ll come around to it because you’re a girl!”

A preview of the upcoming BCB page.

Lucy’s mom has the same shaped necklace like Daisy, but notice that she has no curls, so thus she is not Daisy.

Lucy running over Barbie, very hilarious. :D I was ok with Barbie when I was a kid, but it’s not my thing anymore.

Mike, who did asked you?
