Welcome Abbey to the comic! He’s the newest of the main characters.. which is weird to label him as since he hasn’t done so much to deserve placement as a main character, but I assure you.. he definitely has a real importance to this story. So there Abbey is being the typical completely nice guy.. talk about a strange name.. more information about it in the next page..

He definitely will not get a break with a guy like Paulo hanging around. Paulo and Abbey are destined to be sworn enemies from the look of it. And if you’ve noticed, Abbey definitely has a bit of a flamboyant vocabulary.. being the star Honors student that he is, apparently. Souppy also thinks Abbey has ginormous ears and I hesitate to agree.. he’s meant to be that way. Also his hands are meant to be unshaded.. he has a weird fur pattern.. the end of his hands and feet are white.. whereas the rest of his body is reddish-orange.. he has a white circle on his chest as well.. along with white insides of the ears.

He’s like one of those guys who always gets picked on because he’s awesome. But he also gets just about any girl he wants. Although… he never scores because he’s just not into that mindset.

Hmmm… from the description, I’d say he’s a fox… probably a fennec, but I haven’t seen his tail, so I’m not sure :( yes, I’m a nerd too

I was on another website that had a banner for this comic with Abbey going “Daisy, if I had to choose between breathing and loving you, I’d use my last breath to say ‘i love you’” and thought they were ridiculously cute and decided to read the comic, so I’ve been waiting for the entire comic for Abbey to show up and get with Daisy. I love his gigantic ears :3 Wish I had an Abbey in real life >>

Maaaan, Abbey looks soooo different now. He’s really better nowadays.

Though I loved his ears when they weren’t always bent down.
And I miss the verbose vocabulary too.
Guess it was too troublesome to write his lines…

Hah! Abbey has the dame poor choice of diction that i do. We seem to share some traits, but this is his first appearance so idk.

Kind of sad, actually. I feel like the odd one out. :

Oh my god oh my god oh my god no friggen way!!!!!
Abbey is basically me in a nutshell! He’s been in one comic so far and already my fav character ^_^

Eh…Abbey looks boring to me. Hope he becomes more interesting.

You know…You could’ve had Paulo be the one to help Daisy up instead. Again, you really need to flesh him out more. I can’t forget Confrontation…That was just the best part of the whole series so far. Paulo is the best, right behind Mike and Lucy.

I don’t really like Tess too much either…I mean, she’s okay, but she just seems unnecessary to me, just like Abbey does.

I realize you plan to have everybody end up with another person, like Abbey/Daisy, Tess/Paulo, David/❚❚❚❚❚❚, etc, but for the time being, I want more Paulo back story and less new characters. That’s all.

Irony. Seeing women only as something to have pleasure with and conquest is even more primitive than the things Paulo is poking fun at.

Hoheh July 12, 2011, 3:25 PM EST.

Comment ID #174241

paulo suggests he is not the one with the primitive beliefs, yet he doesn’t think of women as anything more than walking sex toys.

hypocrite, much?

frankly, i’d like to gut paulo and use him as a bag to carry trash in.
