Taeshi’s Commentary On This Page

JERKITY JERK JERK

People are probably gonna rage over Daisy’s behaviour in this page, but it’s hilarious to think about because Souppy thinks Daisy is COMPLETELY ADORABLE here. Stubborn cute little yelling girl, etc. Interesting the difference in judgement! Then again Souppy has always really adored Daisy~~! CHASE HER!!!

Abbey has not much to say, really.

Mike has all the right to not chase Lucy. He loves Sandy, end of discussion.
And Daisy is specially irritable here, shut up stupid cat,lol =D

Well, I do feel bad for Lucy.. Mike doesn’t have to be such a jerk. I agree with Daisy on this one >.

Agreed with Ana

Did people just forget that Sandy exists? Or that there was a whole ARC that was all about Mike trying to find her and then finally call her??

Honestly Lucy has never been nice to Mike. She’s shot him down a number of times before and given him mixed signals. Why should Mike care if she’s “trying” now?

Mike isn’t really the best friend anyone would want… Actually, I’d hate to have him as a friend. :/ Just cuz, under all the kitty cuteness, he can be a “jerkity jerk jerk”.

Part of me can see where Mike is coming from, and another part of me sees where Lucy is coming from.

Mike’s situation- Many times he’s been nice, and time again he’s been jerked around. So I see how he could feel isolated at this point because everyone is gaining up on him.

Lucy’s situation- She professed her love for him, after just realizing HERSELF how she feels. She only saw Mike as a friend until now, only to be hurt when she realizes that he truly sees the love between him and Sandy.

Now… This is my opinion on the situation about Sandy and Mike comes in…

I had my aunt and a friend go through a long distance relationship… and both times it ended horrible, the guy cheated on them and they found out the up most god awful way. Granted, I’m not saying it’s not going to be the same with Sandy, she seems sweet enough not to have that happen to Mike like that. But truth to be told, Relationships in that manner don’t usually work half the time.

Also, Mike is forgetting that yes, Lucy may be a bitch, but they really did grow up together, and they know each other better then Mike and Sandy know each other over the years. And Daisy? I actually think she understands this better then anyone right now, even though she doesn’t realize it right this very moment.

I don’t know, I may be looking into the relationships too deeply, but that’s how I see it.

I agree with Daisy here. Mike was being a jerk.

Sorry to Word of God on you all..

Daisy doesn’t mean “chase her” as in “FORGET ABOUT SANDY AND DATE LUCY”, she means “APOLOGISE FOR UPSETTING HER AND BE A BIT MORE GENTLE ABOUT PUTTING HER DOWN”. Just because you’re taken doesn’t mean you have leeway to be mean to those that “lost in the race.” I’m pretty sure Daisy understands that, she WAS rejected by Mike! She didn’t take it too hot either.

So yeah, nobody forgot Sandy exists. And while Mike has been lovely and tactful and racked up his “mean points” until now, he should be kind of be aware that Lucy is insane and dependent. *punched*

I was viewing this today in class and my friend happened to peek over my shoulder. She was reading and suddenly burst out laughing about the “jerkity jerk jerk.” Next thing I know, she’s apparently using it now. Ahhh, the wonders of BCB. Anyway, I still think Daisy is super cute in this. ;w; I have to side with Souppy!

I pretty much am siding with Mike on this one. I think it’s best that they wait as long as they feel to really talk all of this out and such. It’ll happen eventually.
I also side with Souppy! Daisy is adorableeeeeeee C:!
LOL poor Abbey looks awkaaard.

That and Sandy’s dad is a mob bo-

I actually applaud Daisy here for having some guts to try and get Mike to apologize. In this situation I would have just sorta pretended I didn’t exist. Like Abbey!

I’m going with Mike here :U
Daisy’s makin’ it worse.
It can be annoying to always be nice, and ALWAYS be there. For someone realy dependant. Especially if they continously need you. It’s tiring, and you can only put on a good face for so long, until you’ve had enough. Plus he just gets treated like crap after, so it’s more irriating.

Somehow, I don’t think that Mike’s death would mitigate the situation.

Mike just makes me so angry I don’t even know how to express it anymore. Legally express it, anyway.

Despite how I would agree with Daisy in this case…it wouldn’t help whatsoever if he chased her. All in all, it would only make the situation worse. Sure, she’d be happy that he comforted her, but then she’d realize that it wouldn’t matter, because she could never have him.

Is it possible to throttle a webcomic character? ‘Cause if so I want to *talk* to Mike….

Larathin July 21, 2010, 10:37 PM EST.

Comment ID #65634

Well actually, I find Daisy rather adorable here xD

Daisy might not have gotten so angry if Mike had just said to them. “Look, it’s not that I hate her! I just…. I can’t talk right now. I need to go home.”

Instead he stayed silent and just glared. He didn’t even try to deny that maybe he does hate Lucy. Maybe he does hate her for completely changing up their friendship.

What he doesn’t realize is that it was his fault for Lucy having these feelings for him in the first place. He’s the one who tried to woo her since chapter one, and when she finally gives in and has that little kiss with him, he’s like “Oh wait…. I like Sandy, kthxbai.”

He does deserve some blame. Lucy may have done a lot, but he’s the one who handed her the shovel for the big mess-hole he’s in right now, and maybe even the one who made the first few digs.
