Father thought: “if you say so Son *grin* i will Trust you … These Kids Today
nothing has changed ^^”
What a cool Dad
he surely checked His Room ( check à Short wiev throuth litle opened door) always when He came back from work i think. So He were aware of her and He knew He can Trust him. This is my idea Why He is so cool in the end
Sry for my Bad english^^ have mercy

It’s okay RSprinter. Are you a new reader? I was a 3 days ago. I manage to go to school without feeling tired. I’m in another timezone btw(by the way). :> So, how do you like the comic so far RSprinter? Okay, I hope.

Comment ID #1422
I agree with that statement seadog123. Btw, are you a new reader, if so, yo man. I’m a girl btw(by the way) my big bro(brother) was the one who made up btw. Hope all of you will start using that way of saying, BTW!!!

I am horrified
Comment ID #1424
Awkward to explain, but technically Paulo should be trustworthy enough to control himself. Especially if his father doesn’t assult him with questions. ![]()
Comment ID #1425
Yeah I’m à New reader and i like this webcomic so much i Read throuth chapter 34 then i thought 1:30 a.m. is Earyl enouth to get sleeping
but this Story is yust so out of my Life somehow and Even more Not only because of the relationship to RL. But i have to say i became very Lonley Feeling while Reading the Story but at the Same time happy about me Living i cant remember some other webcomic Touched me so hard …*ahwm* i mean let me feel my singel Living. @ Autor : I Hope you will Final Set one Group picture of all or Even the Main characters together with their Patents at the end Of this epic webcomic. (maybe as special Gift 4fans i don’t think this will Be good in the storyline ( Party in the Park @ lucys birthday already Happens).
Comment ID #1426
Wow, that could have ended a lot more ackwardly. Luckly, Paulo’s dad seems to be ok with his son walking down the stairs with girls he’s never meet, but perhaps he learned about the 2+ hours of crying from his wife. ![]()
As for a forum, if you do have enough readers to make it worth having one go for it.
Comment ID #1427
Wow it seem there are alot of new readers besides me. I read through the entire comic in about 2 1/2 nights, how about y’all?
Comment ID #1428
By the Way it seems Paolo is in à crush for Lucy pulling her by her Hand since they left His Room
- New couple on the Way ?
Comment ID #1430
GUYS
you don’t have to have an orgy whenever someone new shows up, it’s delightfully awkward! It makes me wanna make a forum just to weed away all the “new person?? New person!!” fest. I mean, I appreciate it heaps but come awwwwn. The comments are for the page posted, I don’t mind people introducing themselves but yipes
let’s get sum quality up in dis bitch, I liked the genuine conversations before.
I hope nobody takes this the wrong way.
Comment ID #1431
I don’t think so, I mean the forum. I DON’T HAVE A EMAIL ADDRESS MY PARENTS WON’T LET ME AND I UNDERSTAND SO STICK WITH THE COMMENTS THING!!! OKAY? Good, I hope we agree, I really hope so.
Yeah, I thought that they would get in trouble with Paulo’s parents, also with Lucy’s lets not forget. Wonder what happens afterwards, because they didn’t do their homework.
Comment ID #1432
I like all your comment giving names guys. I think, is there any girls here, because I’m not sure of myself. All your names seem boyish. No offense to any gals(girls) here.
Comment ID #1433
Nope, I don’t think I will use it Taeshi. What I is that, I like this comic website, because I can actually give you, Taeshi comments, so stick with what you’ve got, ‘kay?
I await your reply, Taeshi. I hope you will give me a reply very soon.

Sorry for the triple post xD but is paulo’s dad wearing a hard hat?
Comment ID #1443
Very cute page and moment :3 I was needyng a good laugh with how things were going between them all :3! (Enough to have a damn dream of how things were gona turn and wake up sad x3). I cant wait for the next page and see how things evolve 83!
Comment ID #1444
Oh and i wuz going through the comic again from the begining because i wuz bored and i think that that turtle that trips everyone should get a character profile. and i want to see him/her again in the next chapters ahead.
P.s. sorry for talking so much i will shut up after this Xp
Comment ID #1445
jeeze, paulo’s already corrupting lucy into not doing her homework, although i have a feeling it’s unlikely lucy will be seperated from paulo now, and it looks like paulo can’t reject lucy just yet as that will make lucy go back to her post mike state, although if they get to know each other well enough, then we might just see some pauloxlucy happening
Comment ID #1446
Paulos dad is really cool that he understand and his wife divorced him and also he probably works at a construction site.
Comment ID #1447
What the hell injust paired. Commnwt
Comment ID #1448
That is one awesome dad. owo;
Comment ID #1449
Hehe, looks a bit like a ‘Like father, like son’ moment there.
Comment ID #1450
Whoops. Right, sorry Taeshi.
Anywho, I partially agree with Jmiles. Since Paulo just broke up with Tess and Daisy is now dating Abbey, he will probably act on his old feelings for Lucy. Lucy, having been shoot down(and pretty much destroyed) by Micheal, will attache herself to her next closed friend and old cruch, Paulo. I perdict though this will cause even more tension between Micheal and Lucy which will cause them to either make up for fear of losing each other or it cause them to further distance them from each other and then result in them making up.
Comment ID #1451
This page is so awesome :3
It’s nice with some time off from the Drama ![]()
Comment ID #1452
And about the forums:
I think it would be great to have one, mostly because there is more to talk about then just each page(things that regard the series in general, and discussion about bonus content, fan content, etc.
Not to mention I’ve seen comics with less fans, yet they’ve had perfectly working forums ^-^
Comment ID #1453
Baw, so cute. :] Normally I stay up all night waiting for the next page, but I fell asleep on my homework. And then had a 2 hour delay for school due to snow. ; w;
Taeshi, I still want to manage a forum dedicated to this comic. If you’ll allow me, I can have it up pretty quickly. I realize this prolly isn’t the place to ask though. ![]()
Anyway, this chapter just makes me realize how much sense Paulo and Lucy make together. It’s almost painful to say, since I’m a MikexLucy shipper. I guess you could say that I’m kinda shipping a triangle now. xD Poor me.
Comment ID #1454
Not to mention theres editing, so I wouldn’t need to triple post ![]()
Anyways, I wanted to add that I love the Lucy on this page :3
Comment ID #1455
As for whether or not people would use a forum, I think they might. You never know until you try, but it wouldn’t have to be anything way too flashy. Just a simple one. I had been thinking to same, tbh, and I know a few boards I could put up. Predictions, Fan Art, Pairings (reasons why they do/don’t work etc) and things like that. Character discussions. :]
Comment ID #1456
Oh! And you can regulate language use too. That way you can make it usable to all ages.
Comment ID #1457

No forum please because not every body has an email but if you can make one with out having to hav an email the that would be cool
Comment ID #1459
Sad about those who don’t have email =/
But really, It’s easy to get one ^-^

Found this via an ad link, and really enjoy the characters and their quirks so far.
It feels like everyone’s starting to grow up…

Phoenix:
I doubt your brother originated “BTW” as it has been around rather a while.
As for the people saying “no forum”: A forum can be in addition to rather than a replacement for a comment section.
Comment ID #1462
If you guys made a forum, I guess I would use it, although I don’t think it’s a good idea.
I really don’t want to see a million “MIKExPAULO OMG TROO LUV” or “WHAT KIND OF FRUIT DO YOU THINK LUCY LIKES BEST LETS DISCUSS THIS FOR 4 PAGES” threads, which will most definitely pop up.
If it was just a silly forum where we didn’t have to talk about the webcomic all the time, I guess it would be fine. I dunno, it just seems kinda pointless.
MY OPINIONS ON THE INTERNET MATTER SOMEONES GONNA READ THIS LOOK AT ME HURRrr
In other news, the newspaper Paulo’s dad is reading it pretty amazing.
Comment ID #1465
You know what I’ve noticed? When people are animals, they tend to have the option of wearing clothes or not wearing them.
As for the forum thing, go for whatever you wanna do. I can think of good and bad points of it, so I’m biased.
Comment ID #1466
Welp, I think a forum could be good. Rather than just discussing the current comic, we could discuss previous comics, future possibilities, and random thoughts. The comic would gain more of a “community” (whatever that is)
On the other hand, a forum could mean more work for our beloved creator, which might mean less comics for us. Which is bad.
I believe having a basic forum, a really simple one, as a sort of test might be a good idea. And not to remove the comments- a forum is good for discussion (as the Greeks did), while a comments section is good for short, sweet comments. As for the people complaining that they need an email: there are many, MANY ways to get an email address, disposable or not. Go google it or something.
Depending on the kind of people who populate the forum (considering the content of the comic, they should be fine, upstanding netizens, but who knows), keeping the forum a civil place for discussion might be more or less work. You might want to get moderators.
…This turned out a lot longer than I planned it to. Anyway, nice comic. What I like most about the characters aren’t their strengths, but their flaws- and how they overcome them. So very human.

“Welp, I think a forum could be good. Rather than just discussing the current comic, we could discuss previous comics, future possibilities, and random thoughts. The comic would gain more of a “community” (whatever that is)”
^^^this is a good idea
yeah just make one with some generic sections and see how active it gets
also, how have people managed to get by on the internet without an email what the ❚❚❚❚
Comment ID #1469
I start loving this comic more and more every day.
Comment ID #1470
Yeah, it would have general bits, and I wouldn’t have Taeshi or Souppy run it. It’s fan run, which means less work for them and they could always sign up if they wanted too. There is a way to have it so that you don’t have to sign up, but it makes it harder to Moderate. I will allow guests to post though. It’d be silly to only allow those with e-mails. I understand everyone is biased about it, but having a forum AND the comments section could be a good idea. :]
Besides, if it DOESN’T work out, HEY at least we tried, right?
Comment ID #1471
Alright, I have a few things to say/respond to, so this might take a bit of a long post
In regards to getting a forum:
I believe that there ae enough people now to make a forum work. In the past 13 hours that I have not beenon, we have had about 45 coments or so. Many of these were commenting on the current comic, (which is the use of a comment page) but several were not. Personally, I find it a bit annoying to have to go back to the last page just so I can see who has responded to what I have said before. On annother note, this community is only growing. On the last page alone, we had something like 4 new readers, (I was one of them)which shows how rapidly new people are joining. A forum can be very effective in strengthening a new community, especialy seeing how many people want to introduce themselves. A comment system has many merits, but when you reach enough comments then it begins to get chaotic. To the extent that people just say a small blurb about the current coment, it works amazingly, but we have had conversations of sorts starting, and that is what a forum is for. Now, for those of you who have email trouble,it should be first noted that the only point of email confermation is to prove that you are not a spambot and area ctualy a real person. If anyone really has trouble with this, I would be willing to help by making a temporary email just to get a few people confermed, assuming that it was necissary. It would suck to have peole that could not talk just becuase they lack an email.
Now, on to comentary about the comic:
I think that people should be a little more careful before shipping PauloxLucy so quickly. All Paolo is doing is being a supportive friend in another friend’s time of need. In essence, he is providing another shoulder. (gee, wonder where I heard that one before) We have already seen that he has feelings for both Daisy and Tess, and, seeing that he was unwilling to go too far with Tess because of Daisy, I dont think that it is fair to say that he would go near that far with Lucy. Lucy is going through a lot of trauma right now, and she is turning to another friend to help her through it. It should not be read into as much as I think many people are. Further more, I think that it will be some time before Lucy will truly be able to get over Mike, (assuming that she ever really does) and it will probably be even longer before she can bring herself to trust someone that much again. (if she ever really can) She has had enough trouble trusting people in the past, and, having just had her trust shattered by the boy that she has loved for years, it is going to take a ong time before she can peice herself back together.
Now, for some speculation:
While Lucy has found stronger friends then she knew she had to help her pull herself through, I think that Mike is in way over his head. It is fairly clear that neither of them had ever really grassped just how much they relied on eachother. Lucy is just now realizing how much she relied on Mike, as she had to rely on him quite often, but neither of them realize just how much Mike was relying on Lucy. Granted, It has been very rarely shown that Mike has needed Lucy, but who was it that Mike was forced to turn to after losing Sandy? Who trisked herself to try to save him when he almost drowned? And, most applicably to the feuture of the story, who was the only person that saved him when they got jumped? In geting into this relationship with Sandy, Mike has not only distanced himself from Lucy, but from most of his other friends as well. The next time that he is in trouble, he is going to be hard pressed to find anyone to turn to. Now, we know that whats-his-face’s little gang is still out to get Mike. If they mugged him tommorow, who would be there to help? Lucy, who has been the only one able/willing to put her life on the line for him, is still going to be mad at him, so he is going to be in deep trouble when that happens. (there is enough evidence that this WILL happen that I believe that I can use the word “when”)
Now for some far less upported speculations:
I, personaly, predict that the MikexSanxy relationship will end from Sandy’s side. While it can be agreed that Mike is the epitome of faithfulness in that relationship, it would be very, very easy for sandy to find someone else to replace mike. It has been shown from what Sand did to Daisy that she has few qualms about finding new friends, not to mention that she is wealthy and travels alot. While she must have some feelings for Mike, we have no clue just how far those feelings run. If she does break up with him, Mike is really in trouble. His friends are anything but pleased with how he has treated Lucy, and Lucy is gunna find it somewhat hard to forgive him if he is in a similar position to the one that he put Lucy in.
In respoce to Phoenix:
Sorry for getting your name wrong. You switched two letters around from the spelling of Pheonix, (I.E. the legendary fire-bird) which is whaT I am far more familiar with. And if your brother actualy invented btw, I would be one of the most supried people in the world.
And in conclusion:
All due apoligies for the mega-post. THis is why I think that we really need a forum, so that I could have put each of these sections into an appropriate catagory, and just commented on the comic for the comment board
Comment ID #1472
I just noticed that Paulo holds Lucy’s left hand in the ninth panel(staircase), but her right hand in the rest =/
Comment ID #1473
Also, another reason to start a forum is that the page becomes really slow with this many comments =S
Comment ID #1474
well, it just means that they switched hands so that they could walk side-by-side once they got down the stairs
Comment ID #1475
Darkdrake: If you are interested in the forum, could you e-mail me? I think my e-mail is on the previous page.
This page has so many comments I feel bad for commenting at all. xD
Comment ID #1477
see the family resemblance
Comment ID #1478
I am thinking of making the comments expandable, in the sense that you could see the five first comments, the rest hidden with an “Expand in place” button, and then the five last comments, making this all a lot more manageable to read and keep up on. Is that a good solution? I think page length is the problem rather than the position of the “Post a Comment” form (this directed at Kaxbe).
If there was to be a forum I’d like it to be on the site, I don’t really see why it should be made separate - or is that a common occurrence, for a comic to have a fan-made forum? I think that’s neat that there’s such a demand but it’d only make sense to me if it was linked here (and as per my OCD, match up with the design and general feel here.) I am starting to lean towards the idea that creating some kind of text board wouldn’t be a bad idea. It’d be no-registration and no-email-required, I think anything else is too bulky. I will look into it. In the mean-time I think you can make one, SereneHeaven, but it might be wasteful if I was able to put up a properly-integrated one just a week later.
Just so you guys know I’m working on all sorts of tweaks for the new version of the site on the server. Not dramatically different, but the comments won’t break with bad code and there’ll be a voting link and things like that.
Comment ID #1479
In general, I think that it will be best to set up atleast a temp fan forum for now, as was sugested. In my experiance, it often can be a bit of a wait if one sits around for an official one to be made.(as the people in charge are often busy with lots of other things)
Comment ID #1480
Thanks, Souppy. I’m setting it up and should be fully functional in a bit. A lot of Webcomics have fanmade forums, from what I recall. I’ve been to quite a few, and if there’s a fanmade one, it takes less work for the artist and site admin. :]

Look closely at the newspaper…there’s some funny crap in there.
Anyways, I’ve wanted to write a webcomic since I was 11, and you, Taeshi, have been a HUGE inspiration to me. I’m a guy, so it might make me seem like-dare I say it- a ❚❚❚, but I like the kinda storyline you got workin’ here. Excellent work.
Comment ID #1483
I think a very simple forum would be a good idea. There are enoguh people to where a forum would be a good idea. It also can entice new readers to stick around and ‘catch up’ one some things they may not understand stand with your older comics. Also this is sort of a comic where it’s fun to discuss what will happen next. Most people here are more or less making comments more towards you, but lately they’ve begun communicating with eachother and it sorta makes the comments looks and feel messy.
As for Lucy, I have a feeling that She and Paulo will be very close during school. I wonder what Mike and Tess would think of that.
Comment ID #1484
Wow, look at these textwalls, holy ❚❚❚❚ people.
I stand by my opinion that a forum would be a bad idea because of the “WHAT IF LUCY WAS A BOY” and “PAULOS DAD x MIKE: TRUE LOVE???” threads but fffff what do I know

also: phone site?
Comment ID #1487
^^ Wow. I love this comic soo cute, so.. emostinal. I just got to the newest page here and hehe. I gotta say I was sad that there was no new page yet. I was.. “awwww! Nuuu! I wanna know what’s next!” I can’t wait till wensday :3

whatanamazingffff: Honestly, if you don’t want to read that thread, don’t go in. It’s how forums work, and I’ll hopefully be moderating it well enough to ban inappropriate content simply for enjoyment purposes. No one wants to read a wall of cuss words, or bashing of religion, sexual orientation, or political views. It’s how the world works, I know, but hopefully this forum will be more fun than offensive.
Arctic: OH MY GOODNESS HE DOES! O: I lol’d

and what on earth are you talking about SereneHeaven, did I ever imply I wanted any of that? I like nice people as much as you do.
I just mean that it would be really ridiculous to see all the silly fan threads like the examples I gave and I don’t see a reason for an entire forum yet!
Comment ID #1496
Guys I don’t see why you can’t have both a forum AND a comments section.
Forum would simply be more in depth and may not necessarily have to have passwords if a system could be in place where all you need is username and password.
…that may take a bit of effort though.
In any case, FFFFFFFWOW that was rather fortuitous for Paulo!
Wish my dad was like that…
Wish I lived a life like these kids, too, for that matter!

my life is boring

So, for whoever cares: http://bcbfanforum.proboards.com/index.cgi
That’s the forum, and I know it’s proboards but whatev. Also, it’s not a crime to make a forum.
Besides, from what Souppy said, it’ll most likely be temporary. It’s a way to muddle out all the ranting and banter of new members. I tried to make it as accessible as possible. You don’t have to sign in to post or anything. :]
So, hope to see you guys there.

Comment ID #1523
@whatanamazing: You have a point there, but there’s no need to RAEG and bash those who don’t share your opinion. Also, people are not 2D; just because someone posts in (as you put it) “kawaii” style doesn’t mean that they aren’t capable of intelligent conversation. Every forum has occasional inane threads; they simply have to be weeded out.
That being said, I see no need for a forum, then again, it’s just my personal opinion.
Comment ID #1524
Regarding the hand contradiction: Notice how Lucy pulls back her hand in the panel after they’re going down the stairs, Paulo then just naturally grabs the other. whooo
also whatanamazingdifferentstuff, you are officially the best poster.
also why do people think the comments section is gonna disappear? If anything, the comments section will be for the comic page like how it’s intended to be.. whereas the forums will have everything else.
Also whatanamazingblahblahblah, I would probably make a pairings forum exclusively for TRUE LOVE since I’m sure this comic is a launcher of many ships. SO THAT COULD HELP.
Jmiles: Lucy has basically the same work-ethic as Paulo, if they forget homework they forget homework. Just gotta live with the consequences, they’re both quite good students anyway, none of them are in any “below” classes. It’s also around the start of the new school year so homework isn’t a big deal to them as of yet. One or two can slip.
Darkdrake: Excellent post. I don’t mind huuuuuge intense posts, what annoys me is tons of triple-quadruple posts. It just clogs the comments section and makes me wanna go in there and technically piece them together! (I don’t mean people responding to others, because that’s not exactly a double post)
SereneHeaven: If I made a forum, I’d want a section for anything that isn’t about cats, so that WOULD allow sexual orientation, political views, etc. I have a big thing about not wanting to silence people.. so umm yeah ;__; I guess a clashing in opinion there hoho, though I can understand the age-appropriate thing since we got a lot of kiddie readers here, aaa

Comment ID #1529
I think what SereneHeaven was saying was that if you are not carefull, you just end up with threads full of people trying to cuss eachother out and bash eachothers political/sexual orientation. Noone is gunna stop inteligent conversation, assuming that it is in the right section so that people are warned, and assuming that the people who go are capable of inteligent conversation. No one wants another 4chan…
Comment ID #1530
Darkdrake and Taeshi: Yeah, that was what I was trying to say. Sorry if it wasn’t clear.
But I have a BCB Unrelated Forum in the whole thing, and I’m adding boards right now. I hope you like the Forum, Taeshi. ; x;
And no. No one wants another 4chan. 4chan makes me sick. ![]()
Comment ID #1531
When on earth would talking about a silly comic about cats resort to homophobia and such lmfao GUYS SERIOUSLY IM PRETTY SURE NO ONE IS GOING TO MAKE FUN OF YOUR POLITICAL BELIEFS ON A FORUM FOR A WEBCOMIC
About 4chan, I personally don’t like 4chan, but you are generalizing when you say it’s all mindless ❚❚❚❚❚❚❚❚ and swearing 24/7. I used to go to the music board sometimes and it really isn’t that bad, it’s just pretentious as ❚❚❚❚ and everyone sits around arguing over whether David Bowie or David Byrne is the best musician to have “David” as a first name/ if Lady Gaga is the second coming of Christ, or if shes a transvestite/ If Joy Division was the first “emo” band or if that was Husker Du/ other silly stuff like that.
You’re thinking of /b/, which is indeed, the ❚❚❚❚❚❚❚ of the internet.
@taeshi: when do i get my official taeshi™© medal for extraordinary commenting
Comment ID #1532
whatanamazing(etc xD): When I say 4chan, I normally refer to /b/. That’s the one board I can’t stand. Otherwise I don’t care. Also, some people get offended easily. I didn’t want the forum to turn into a big cluster of offense, and you never know what kinds of people get on these forums.
However, I won’t say much more on the topic. This is starting to get very lengthy and I haven’t made a comment about the page since forever ago. HENCE why I put up the forum.
Comment ID #1533
sorry, it is a bit unfair, but I use 4chan figurativly, pretty sure we all knew what I meant by it.
Comment ID #1534
Serene heaven I am very curious about where the “homophobia” thing came from the comments are too much and I’d like to know who said that?!
Comment ID #1535
This is the problem with most forums. You are overthinking and overstructuring and overanticipating. Make it with no rules and no structure and it will do just fine.
Comment ID #1536
@Jefe: No one said it outright, but the idea of bashing someone for their sexual orientation is kind of low. I see it the same way as the people who like yaoi/yuri as opposed to those who hate it. For example, if some one DID make a thread under the Couple board on the forum about “MikexPaulo” and someone went in and bashed it, it would probably offend the person who made the thread. If you don’t like the pairing, don’t enter the thread. Same with a “gender swap” situation.
Anyway, there are separate boards for a lot of things, and if I missed anything, I guess it’s up to the members/guests to let me, Darkdrake or Sind know.
I feel like I might’ve derped that up somehow. o 3o

1. Is this comic really for kids?
2. Try forum thing: if like it, good; if don’t like it, ctrl+z.
3. open minded father + epic newspaper = win.
4. Getting e-mail is easy with Gmail.

pff… I had to tell my mom the first time I scored so I could get more condoms. That was embarrassing.
Taeshi, you need to stop over analyzing your small and nearly unnoticeable artistic flaws. The artist kills their own work. Half the things you pointed out I hadn’t even noticed till you pointed them out. And most of it actually wasn’t too bad either. Great comic by the way. I started reading this about 3 days ago. Started at the beginning. I’ve left a few comments ^.6

I think that a forum would be AWESOME. We can still post comments about the frequent pages here in the comments, but we can post and socialize in the forums. It doesn’t have to be entirely about the comic, does it? It could be like… “Oh, I loved this page/chapter! What did you think?” I think it’d be a great place to meet new people, I think even with as many people that comment here, you’d have plenty of activity in the forums. It’d even be a nice place for things like just sketches you’ve done, or fanart for us to post! ^^
Also, I lol’d at this page ![]()

Hey, I only just found this comic but it’s adorable! Also, you should definitely have a forum if you’re intending to keep working on this for a long time, because people will want to use it.
Your comic is definitely worth it.

Yeah, I sort of like Paulo as well. But I like all the characters, except the bad guys. Which are characters of course.
Comment ID #1556
Wow, Paulo’s dad reminds me of my dad.
Both are awesome as hell.
Anyway, I started reading this comic… Yesterdaaaay…? And I got pretty much caught up with it. So basically, the whole day… Yesterdaaaay…? Was pretty much spent on reading this comic. Keep up the good work! I know I’ll be a regular reader for sure…

Hey Souppy,
There’s something weird going on with the dates in the RSS. All pages of Another Shoulder are stamped with Fri, 15 Jan 2010 12:00:00 GMT, one page per second after that. Unrequited has the same, but for Mon, 21 Dec 2009. I can only see back to Unrequited page 6 though.
Google Reader shows something else (it goes back to November), but also puts Another Shoulder in January.
Comment ID #1561
I just realized it’s the same for the website: one date per chapter. Weird, but perhaps intentional? Anyway, it screws up at least some RSS readers.
Comment ID #1564
I think that that might be becouse there is an rss for the whole completed chapters. Not sure though, iv never actualy used the rss

Comment ID #1567
Man this stuffs gettign really good! Wonder if Mike and Lucy will be able to make up again. If not she’ll just date paulo by the looks of it.
P.S.Taeshi I’ve tried sending u a message using the e-maillink at the bottom of the page but I don’t know what to do at’my incoming mail server’
I’d rather use e-mail but if can’t I guess its not serious though.
Hope to get back to u on this.

Holy crap. who r u people and what have you done with the post a comment part.
I means WT Shiz it took my 45 minutes 2 scroll down all the way so i could type a comment…
Again not that i think it’s wrong to talk 2 eachother but some o u guys have turned this into a chat room instead of the comment post.
you guys haven’t barely talked about the comic except in the beggining. about paulo’s dad and all.
Ps. sorry for being sort of a hyporcrit here becuase right now i am sorts chating to y’all ![]()
P.S.S This message is only @ the people who talked WAAAAYYYYYY TOOOOO much
and ticked me off for making me take 45 minutes (over-exageration) to just scroll down the page 2 comment. It’s is not at you guys who commented on the comic…. just saving u the trouble of having to say “who MEEEE? I would never do such a thing.” and all that other stuff u prolly would say.

Lol, god if i tried doing something like that! I remember i tried sneeking out one time when i was in High school, was stupid enough to get caught 3 1/2 miles outside of villiage limits, my parents were so ❚❚❚❚❚❚. Did never try anything like that though…
Comment ID #1577
Jasper,
Is this a problem? I did kind of halfass the RSS date functionality. Not to get too technical, but I don’t actually have the information on when the comic is updated - only when the first page of each chapter is posted. So the RSS simply uses that date, and in order to keep things in chronological order, iterates by one second depending on which page. I pick midnight GMT for a neutral time. This all stems from the fact the site was designed around chapters being posted at a time rather than single pages - I basically converted it, but some things like this are a leftover that I thought I could get away with.
Does this mean in Google Reader a new page doesn’t appear at the top of your list, because of the false date? Or is it simply a matter of “weird, why is the date appearing to be 15th of January”? I can fix it if so, but I’d only bother fixing it if it means the RSS isn’t working.
By the way, does anyone actually read the comments one page back? First reply back gets a clipping of cat porn.
Comment ID #1600
i totally do.
Comment ID #1616
Souppy,
My personal desktop RSS aggregator doesn’t bother with stuff that has too old a pubDate. This is a good thing, but it means BCB updates don’t register.
In Google Reader… it doesn’t really make sense at all! Dates and chapters - even images and descriptive text - get jumbled. As most recent update, it has “Confrontation (Remake), page 30”, dated Feb 12, 2010 7:42 AM. It has the correct text, but shows the image of “Another Shoulder, page 3”. The latest real update at this moment - “Another Shoulder, page 15” - shows up at Jan 29, 2010 9:19 AM.
Perhaps it’s because Google does (partial) caching, some other tricks, and uses its own timestamps. But that’s just guesswork. It’s probably best to check out Google Reader yourself and see if you get the same results.
Anyway, is this a problem? For me the RSS is unusable. No big deal, I’ll just pretend there isn’t a feed. But it is the weirdest RSS issue I’ve ever seen, so I made mention of it. The decision is yours.

Papa bear maka me laugh.

I should probably find that porn now, right? I bet you’re not looking here now!!
Comment ID #1884
Well, I did…
But it was related to the RSS thing, not the porn. So I don’t really count.
Comment ID #1916
Jasper,
I believe I fixed it. I faked the dates for the past 20 pages, but they should line up roughly with update days. But from now on, a pubDate will be set in a database the first time any particular page is displayed, and the RSS feed draws on that. It’ll be nice and accurate and not just a cursory attempt to get the feed in order, as it was before.
I also updated the chapter feed so that it will, from now on, publish new chapters with the pubDate of the last page, rather than the first page. This should all work a lot nicer, and as far as I can tell it works well in Safari, Opera and NetNewsWire. Thanks for bringing this all to my attention - please let me know if you encounter any other issues. It’s all homegrown here and I’m a bad coder, so I need help like this.
FWIW, Google Reader still ❚❚❚❚s up and shows the Confrontation chapter, partially because I lazily had that publish as chapter 53 before renaming it and making it chapter 12 (it was a patch-up of an old chapter that we decided to post as a new one, if you weren’t there at the time.) The feed itself is fine now but Google’s cache is confused. Not much I can do about it besides hope it refreshes or just filters out eventually. The current chapter is 54 so it’ll slowly push that out as pages keep on being published at the top.
Zulufox,
This is probably the worst I can get away with.

Hey, look! Parents DO exist.
We’re on our final weeeeeek~ This chapter has been all twisty and turny and long, huh?
People on the page before were requesting a forum. The true question is if it would be USED. Like it would be slightly odd to make a forum with basically no activity. I mean if people wanna talk about the most recent pages, they got the comments section here.. so anything else could be at the forum, but are there enough readers to make that something plausible to do? I actually talked to Souppy about a forum yesterday and he sprung the same question to me.. so I toss the same question to you guys. Have fun!
