Taeshi’s Commentary On This Page

Hi I’m lucy BAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

BAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

baw

I hate how the ninth panel has the bubble eating up Mike’s head, that’s a dialogue-bubble flaw I’ve been trying to shake out of because it was prevalent in old comics, and I just couldn’t cram dialogue in that panel without making that happen. NEVER AGAIN….

That may teach the super-happy-resolve-everything-in-pretty-fashion “cute” cat to shut up. Great job Daisy. Now shut up.
But Mike talked too much.
But sometimes I wonder how he stands Lucy…she really acts as ungrateful dog that punches everytime.

Tch. Way to go Mike, you made a little girl cry. Hope you’re proud of yourself.

Mezmo: Lucy is currently 14, at this stage she has less than two months before she turns fifteen.

Oh an by the way I looked at the graveyard and at abbeys therapy thing and I thought it was great and that it should b part of the story.I was tearing up at the end. Others should read it to becuase it was really good and really showed the internal problems a family like that face. Hope u finish it! :)

Mezmo: I won’t finish it, it was going to be a very grueling chapter and in the end it felt like I was shoving all of that down people’s throats. I guess I don’t wanna make it as obvious as hitting people with an anvil.

I imagine if I need to, there might be a minor flashback or two, but at this point in time Abbey is improving and he won’t be putting himself in the spotlight for something so sensitive. He wants to move on! Live his life!

Good. Now Mike knows how it sucks to get a face-full of crap.

I hope he gets neutered. :D (well, right now at least. I liked the old Mike, the one who was nice and not a stupid butthead. Yup.)

Hey I agree with u totally now that u put it that way, still none the less it was still a great panel. Love your art!!!!! :)

Mezmo February 17, 2010, 3:49 PM EST.

I don’t think either Lucy or Mike should be blamed singularly. Both are at fault and of course it’s going to take time for them to work it out and of courses, people, it won’t all be pretty and feelings will get hurt. I love new mike :P, not taking crap no more!
Haha I understand where Daisy is coming from though she doesn’t really have room to talk about drama! lol

Still don’t know if I’m digging all this green(at least this shade?) but great job on paneling as usual!

yeah he was kinda a jerk but he was just voicing how he felt about that so give him some slack even though he was a jerk, and it was a really good panel

FFFFFFFFFFF DAMN IT MIKE!! NOW LOOK WHAT YOU’VE DONE!! LUCY WAIT!! *chases after her to try and console her*

I love how all the comments are condemning Mike when Lucy was doing stuff like this from the very beginning, which no one seems to remember or think is relevant.

People fight. It’s part of “growing up.”

Taeshi, you better not have Mike leave Sandy for Lucy. Not everything needs a Twilight/Disney “everybody gets what they want” happy ending.

hey hey! panel 8 looks like Lucy’s checking out Mike’s speechbubble and is like “what’d he just said?!” :D

squeezycheese - nice. i’m sure really taeshi appreciated that. ):

‘sides that, i have to admit i really like daisy in this.

amber - it’s called criticism. Albeit not very constructive, I’m sure taeshi can take it. =D

As painful as it is for her, it’s important that Lucy hear these things and listen to how Mike feels. She’s putting him into a corner because she was totally aware from the beginning about him and Sandy. More than that, she knows that it’s not a very ‘Mike’ thing to do to just dump Sandy at the drop of a hat just because Lucy finally fessed up to what Mike knew all along.

Lucy has her whole life to reconsider before even approaching Mike again.
Push has finally come to shove. She’s finding out the hard way that it’s not very wise to use salty words when one is a snail.
