Taeshi’s Commentary On This Page

The panel that has them walking up the stairs was one of those panels that took me the longest to do out of all the other ones combined.. and I STILL completely struggled! Their faces look wonky, the angle is wonky, and I then realised how can Paulo’s father be not so financially well off when they have a TWO STORY HOUSE.

in other news baaaaaaaaaawwww

I figured a two-story house would be the cheapest since it’s less square footage.

Her vagina obviously needs penis. “FILL” HER NEEDS PAULO!

Everyone knows women only ever get sad because they haven’t had enough penis in their vaginas. Common knowledge!

In the last panel Lucy is in, I know her face is mashed against the pillow, but it makes her look like she’s about to just throw up all over Paulo’s bed!

Paulo: More cheering up. Right.

Lucy: BLLLEEEEEEGGGHHHEEEGGGHHGEEEEGHHGGHGH

Paulo: …. My… Bed… Those were… My only…. Semi… Clean….. Sheets…. T~T

she even put herself on his bed, what more could a guy like paulo ask for? no paulo don’t go near the bed it’s a trap! now all we need is for tessa to walk in on paulo ‘cheering up’ lucy. if lucy was this desperate she should have just knocked mike out cold and tied him up to a bed already

Only in mikes dreams, though he probably would wish it was Sandy as he wakes up.

Clearly Mezmo is unaware of Sandy’s S&M tendency as exposed in the hidden hentai section on this website.

Souppy seriously stop it or I am going to end you

(He’s just trying to rile everyone up, he’s a riler like that.

Sue is obviously the S&M character. *Slapped*)

It’s funny how no one else mentioned the random spot of pink. I wonder what it was for? o.o

… Maybe no one else noticed it cause they were all focused on the “SEX” part. >>

I read your whole archives from the begining i love the story and how the artwork gradually got better. Don’t beat yourself up of how things look the story helps strengthen that part of it to me. Keep up the good work.

Lucy...on Paulo’s bed...

Didn’t see that one coming! :D

The pink spot… I kinda assumed it was the glow from the red LED alarm clock that he has by his bed.

Also, being from New Jersey, I kinda concluded that if Paulo’s dad was not financially well-off (or “poor” as he put it), it would not be unreasonable to assume that he either lived in a townhouse, a small two-story house on less than 1/8th of an acre of land in a relatively dense area, or in one of those multi-family houses that are three or four stories tall and one subunit could potentially take up two stories. Or, perhaps a duplex like the one I lived in as a small child!
New Jersey = highest overall population density per square mile in the U.S. or your money back!

The thing that really bites me is this:
Mike and Sandy’s relationship is never gonna work out. I know it, whoever is reading this knows it, Taeshi knows it,… Mainly because she’s the author.
Mike’s going to end up just like Lucy, alone.
This reminds me of every break I have from school. None of my friends are around. Sigh
