I would suppose it makes less sense to think that the glow of the alarm clock dominates the room when a lot of this takes place in the afternoon, but I suppose in editing this I wanted to give the impression of a night dragging on, and I know my memories of sleepovers often involved a lot of dark rooms with glowing clock radios..

Comment ID #902
It ate the rest of my comment :c
I’m kinda worried Lucy will become dependent on Paulo now
S’not healthy, Luce.
Comment ID #903
You know what?
Considering what a tremendous ❚❚❚ Mike has become now.
I support PauloxLucy now.
Way to go Paulo, way to go… *plays “Up Where We Belong” in the background*
Comment ID #904
U guys are forgetting about Tess !!!!!
Comment ID #905
I pretty much hate PauloxTess so…
YAY! I never thought I’d like PauloxLucy since PauloxDaisy is my favorite but it’s really growing on me
! And fast!
This is definitely one of the best pages so far of the chapter! The paneling is fantastic, and the glow of the alarm clock is well thought out. Very well done.
Comment ID #906
Dawwwwwwwwwwwwwwww ;u;
And not in a particularly pauloxlucy way just dawwwww
Comment ID #907
PauloxTess!!!!!
Comment ID #908
Blaze: you’re so sweet! Isn’t that the kinda thing I’m supposed to give incentives for, though? I should probably do a bunch of incentives one of these days..
Comment ID #909
Bu-Bu-But I want Tess to be happy! Stay Good Paulo, Stay Good!
I just want Tess to be Happy…
If Lucy wants a new Relationship, then maybe she should pull Tess out of her cloest rather than steal her boyfriend…
And, yeah, I know that Lucy isn’t really trying to steal Paulo, and I believe Paulo is also trying not to forget about Tess too, but I’m just voicing my support for Tess.
Comment ID #910
Cuuuuute!
Comment ID #911
Aw Paulo! You’re sooooo sweet! :3
Comment ID #912
tess isn’t paulo’s girlfriend as far as i remember, after the last chapter where tess talks about how she isn’t ready to commit, so luckily for him if lucy manages to hook up with him, then he won’t have to worry about that mob of girls at school that kicked mike’s ❚❚❚ for being a cheater
Comment ID #913
@ Blaze lol BCB is now above VG Cats
Comment ID #914
Oh good. Now Veronica is more popular than VG Cats. I think I can retire.
Comment ID #915
VG cats is funny but updates are slower than a snail and bcb is much better than it for a bunch of reasons. One: us funny, two: awesome plot, three: great characters, four most of all u can post ur comments with out signing up to something. Also taeshi( Veronica,Sinker:)) u are awesome that u comunicate with your fans!!!!

Comment ID #921
how true lisa, but every1 loves paulo and lucy for some reason ![]()
Comment ID #922
Is it just me or did Lucy stop crying on the 7th picture when she’s eating on paulo’s bed and then start tearing up again when he looked at her either Paulo put onions in her bowl or something is going on between her and him :-/

Aww the healing process. ^.^
An I realized Lucy’s eating ramon with a spoon.
…that is strange to me…
Comment ID #1673
I like the ballance between the green and red. It gives it good glow.
Comment ID #1760
What exactly is Paulo saying with that pickle/cucumber/whatever in his hand that makes Lucy blush so hard in the 4th panel?
Comment ID #1858
hey you edited it ![]()
Comment ID #2914
I wrote my comment on the previous page before even turning to this one… and I was right!
As f0r PauloxLucy, (Paulo & Lucy, dammit!) I think everyone’s just warming up to the idea now since Mike has made his case pretty clear and that this was the pairing that’s been in the making since they were in 5th grade and Paulo was the too-shy new kid.
Plus Tess has expressed her opinion of a relationship between her and Paulo being less than ideal not only because of age difference, but also because it would be fairly short-lived when she graduates at the end of the year and goes off to college.
And yeah, as great as VGCats was/is, Scott’s priorities seem to have shifted away from his comics for the most part.
Comment ID #5201
I can understand why most of you have eyes popping out of your heads. Don’t worry. You won’t be mentally scarred this time through. Though funny stuff happens in a few pages. Unfortunately, you won’t be able to say, “MY MIND! IT IS BLOWN!” Too bad.
Comment ID #5348
Very sweet of Paulo to help her out.
Comment ID #5478

I really like the style in this one; no noticeable mistakes and it gives off a nice atmosphere. ;DnnTo me atleast. (
)
Comment ID #54152
It seems to me that she’s using Paulo as a replacement for mike… Meh that’s just an opinion btw great comin taeshi!
Comment ID #62309
Lucy lucky to have someone at that moment.
Comment ID #62865
I honestly gotta say, I like the way panel 3 looks (or is it picture 3). I don’t know what to call it but its the one right under the first one. I’m not so sure why I like it, but I think its because I like the way they are shown, and I tend to appreciate when the idea of a picture is shown perfectly, like how Paulo is willing to confort Lucy. Or maybe its just because I’m a sap for drama or emotions.
Meh, it might be both, but I still like it. ^^
Comment ID #63873
pauolos mom : paulo wake uuuup!
paulo (disoriented) hmmmm?
lucy : *wake up* hmmmm!?

Comment ID #69662
I know you said they’d never get together, but with how Mike’s acting, I’m supporting PauloXLucy right now.

Comment ID #110178
Paulo has a point for his selflessness right now.
Please. PLEASE don’t destroy this amazing person you are being right now with a stupid try to touch Lucy.
Actually, Paulo’s not included in the list of characters I hate now.
And those are few.

Saddest chapter in all of BCB. This chapter always gets to me when i read it. And add the song Heron Blue by Sun Kill Moon you will cry even more. That song fits this chapter so much.

If you have a problem with this then why don’t you tell her that instead of hiding behind a chapter that was posted nearly two years ago(not that she would even give a ❚❚❚❚, though)
