I think Mike is mostly ashamed because if you look closely in panel 17, you can see just how close Mike was to actually clawing Abbey.

This is defiantly my favourite page of all time. Mostly because I reckon Mikie gets pushed around too much like after Lucy tried to save him from drowning, it is awesome to see him strike back.

Not even gonna touch this. I’d like to see them sort this out though, it’s all a big mess right now.

Abbey’s very Daisy-empathic, but she’s so focused on Mike, she doesn’t notice. Looking for love, in all the wrong places. Ironic, yes?
Comment ID #137458
WOW…
I LOVE IT…
VERY NICE

Out of every single Bittersweet Candy Bowl page, this one has to be my favorite

Mike’s nails are out.
Ouch.

Though you may think that this is a bit irrational, it actually fits REALLY well, the teenager thing isn’t an excuse, its actually really good reasoning, cuz teens do tend to blow up a lot. I love this page.

I love Mike’s expression on panel 8.
Comment ID #140989
Phew….hard to take a side in this one……even if Abbey’s right, I still kinda prefer Mike….no special reason for it though.
Comment ID #142676
If Mike wasn’t drunki n Confrontation, seems that he could of held up in the fight
Comment ID #143212
If you look closely, Mike’s claws have been out since panel 8. He actually cut Abbey’s hand when he blocked that first punch; you can see the cuts in panel 9.

oooooooooooooooooo…………. kitty got claws

I have some respect for Michel now but I still hate how he thinks about Lucy. But having that evil of a face twords Abbey is kinda cool to see in him.

@jurrah:P
I think Mike doesn’t realize that he’s hurting people.
Comment ID #150883
I only just understood Molly’s comment about people going to hospital and not coming back (after “New Beginnings” page 3). That is a) very good foreshadowing, and b) completely heartbreaking. Both she and her brother deserve a hug.
Comment ID #153550
Is it just me, or does Mike have a habit of accidentally pointing out peoples’ issues, saying that they’re his, and saying that the person doesn’t understand him.
Maybe not so much a habit as just doing it every now and then.
First Chirpy, now Abbey

Badass Mike is Badass… and a bit of an ❚❚❚
Comment ID #161919
The emotions just drip off of the computer screen…
Mike needs to calm the ❚❚❚❚ down. He needs to realize that he has caused a lot of misery and woe. Yet he denies it. Abbey AT LEAST tried to help Daisy. And what “help” does Lucy need? She has her pets, for Chrissakes! And really, if it’s not Sandy, it’s her! If I ever got into this argument with Mike, I’d kick his ❚❚❚. I don’t like how he’s able to hold off Abbey.
Comment ID #162063
While Abbey has a very good point, shoving Mike around the way he’s done is waaaaaaaay out of line. Mike not’s a saint—he’s never been. I strongly dislike his treatment of Lucy and even his attempts to side step Daisy? But on one hand can we honestly blame the guy? He’s known the two for most of his life and has gotten USED to treating them the way he has. Does it excuse anything? No, no it doesn’t. But trying to physically intimidate him into action the way Abbey is doing? Ha. Like that’s any better. Abbey needs to learn to channel his anger and express his feelings in a much more healthy way. I’m in no way surprised Mike pushed him back—what was he supposed to do, just take it? In real life, I’d hope no one would ever let someone else who’s supposed to be a friend physically hurt them like this, even if what they’re saying about you is true.

I now have this strange desire for Mikey and Abbey to get together… You know the deal. Fights ALWAYS end with some sort of sexual joke. It’s just how it is.
Comment ID #168530
“…send him to the hospital…” Please tell me she doesn’t mean a mental institution, please not that. If Abbey is /that/ much like his father, then I hope his father is in one, but not Abbey. Also, what the hell happened to his mother?
Comment ID #168964
Quite honestly, I really don’t like Mikie at all. Like at all. He’s a jerk that constantly has approval for others and extremely rarely gives it to others. I just have almost no respect for him on any level.
Comment ID #173817
Awk-ward! 
Comment ID #174316
that rage is miniscule compared to my own.
should’ve shattered abbey’s shoulder blades and made him eat dirt, damn rat.
Comment ID #174965
abbey should have kicked mike’s butt, he kinda deserved it
i mean, i don’t even like daisy, and lucy would probably be better off with paulo, but mike’s quite an ❚❚❚❚❚❚❚ some times
he needs to get his ❚❚❚ kicked a little bit

Holy crap, little girl. Guilt assassin, boom, bullet to the heart.
Ah, teenage emotions. Man, I do not miss that.
Comment ID #184273
Why is Mike talking about feeling helpless when someone depends on you…? Is he referring to Confrontation?
Comment ID #194703
“As if you’d know about feeling powerless around anyone who depends on you!”
I saw the bite-back on that one coming. I was thinking, “Don’t be so sure!!”
Comment ID #201669
Ooh…..oh…….. OH………… I just… Molly saying that she’ll never see him if he goes to the hospital… How did I forget this…? 
Comment ID #204325
Is it me or does mike get in situations like this often and underestimate someone just like he underestimated chirpy back in feline festivities

oMG!!!!! I don’t know who’s side I’m on any more! =(

Abbey - Is upset because he wants to help Daisy however she will only accept help from Mike. Abbey kinda lost it when Mike told him that he didn’t know this.
Mike - He is only focused on Sandy and Lucy since. Sandy is his girlfriend and he is obsessed with her, no more needs to be said. However, Lucy is DEPENDENT on Mike and dealing with Lucy is a huge task in itself, it is very hard for him to focus on his other friends.
In all both are really equal in arguments however there reasons both contradict with each other so really there is nothing ether of them can do about it.
This was very well thought through.
Abbey is REALLY mad! Cripes! And now MIKE is mad.
This exchange of screams has definitely got to be one of my biggest challenges in a while.. a lot of it is quite illogical, but they’re just kids.. Abbey is enraged over his morals getting stomped all over and Mike is just plain sick of getting labeled and accused of infidelity. So yeah.. that didn’t mix well. Mike is also the type to have quick reflexes.. hence he blocked Abbey’s attempts at hitting him. There’s definitely something wrong there.. especially by what the little girl says.
Ahh, Abbey’s sister. She has a name, but it hasn’t been revealed here.. it will be in time. I hate her eyes in the fifteenth panel. They look attached to her hair.. she’s really a cute girl, though. I didn’t give her cuteness justice. Poor silence.
