Bittersweet Candy Bowl

For some reason this yellow colour scheme is making everything so much more BAM-in-yo-face. It’s much more exciting! Haha.
I’m looking forward to this chapter unfolding!! I love this play idea!
Sue is so sweet in panel 3. =]

I love how this is going.

You know, it’s weird, I can kinda sorta imagine Sue’s voice but nothing for Paulo. Or for all the guys for that matter.
I can imagine voices for the girls, though how it would sound, I don’t know if I can describe it… voices are a pain to describe, you just gotta… hear it to know.
But, oh yes, nice page, keep up the good work!

Finally some sanity. This goldenrodish color is both uplifting and somewhat serious (As it seems all of the deeper colors tend to be) Hmmm.

Also nice on giving a break from Lucy. =D

well then, who else now REALLY sees some sort of mike/lucy awkwardness coming up. Because I sure do, though I expect that some other characters will be more involved this time.

On another not, the idea of an Iphone version of the site is a great one. Seeing as I read through a lot of the archive on an Iphone, and also seeing that doing so was a PAIN IN THE ***, I think that this was the perfect idea.

what the…where did Daisy come from? Did she take Abbey’s seat or was she hiding behind the speech bubble?…like a dialogue ninja…do they have those 9w9…well anyways I know this is my first time posting here and I just came across this comic by chance about last week, but something about it just lored me in. Even though I’m not a big fan of school drama such as bloody Highschool Musical, I find myself intrigued on how I’m getting drawn into the story. At least there isn’t like singing at a pep rall…(reads “A Different Side” pg8&9) >=[…I think what is so appealing to me is how the artwork and the story completely throws you off gaurd. It’s like coming across a butterfly in a city; while you are distracted by it’s beauty and innocence, you don’t see the plot sneaking up behind you getting ready to hit you across the face with a big red herring just for it’s own amusement. Well that’s all I gotta say at the time being, keep up good work. Now to ponder more on these dialogue ninjas.

Why is paulo such a derp most of the time?
(What if the play is something epic like hamlet or something, then he’d be jealous)

well, I would certainly hope that Sue didnt use that much paper because she wanted to re-write Hamlet.

Re-Using the same Soda would only be more realistic. Some people like s specific type of soda all their life, y’know.

woooow paulo is really that stupid aint he?

Heh, I liking the iTouch version of the site.
Only complaint is no comments to look at, but the layout is nice.

Well maaaaybe Paulo is one of those people who have FUN in detention?
Maybe the teacher ish lazy o.o
or maybe some teacher he has the hots for.
wouldn’t surprise me… haha…
NOW if Tess WAS in detention, i WOULD be surprised.

hmm lack of Lucy and David o.o
where they beeee? -probably other side of the table-

aaand the play… better not end up Sue trying to do something funny with the roles Mike has with Lucy if she is EVEN in the play at all.

aaand Same as what Swm said… Daisy came outta nowhere, but then again, she usually does that… sort of.

….i just noticed like FIVE CANS in front of Paulo. Sheesh, I thought he was supposed to be poor! xD
Bad Paulo! Too much soda ish bad for you

oh and
Last Panel: Paulo uses NOOOODLY ARMS!
haha, for some reason i always like characters who use arms like that

Aww i wanted paulo to be the jester

Seems like Sue is really happy with her script. I wonder what Paulo got detention for…The comic is still looking better than ever! Yellow is just such a calming color, and everything else about the picture looks wonderful!

I just realized, I have a band trip this week and won’t be able to see updates until next wednesday

Souppy, when are you gonna get that option thing up on the touch screen site? I like checking comments on the previous page.

so you’v been writing this comic since you we’re 7?

Lol, Paulo. Detention is not a fun spot! It’s boring as heck….

Me too Paulo! High 5!

Souppy,

Kudos for your work on the RSS feed!

If you want another challenge, what about using AJAX to fetch the hidden comments on demand, besides simply hiding them with CSS? (I’d assign that a low priority though.)

Oh and the Lucy-on-Paulo porn was sweet!

@John The original characters were created by Taeshi many many years ago.
This comic is “reboot” of the whole highschool drama-comedy idea, and it started back in 2006.

:3 awesome comic as normal… Hehe

Most of the time when plays are writen like that… it turns out really…really bad. but Maybe not “this” time. Hehe

PS… where is this Lusy x Paulo porn at?

We NEEED to get that turtle in that play NOW!!!! Also like someone else said.

Where’s David or yashy and all the other pets? does yashy not go with them to shcool any more?

“Oh and the Lucy-on-Paulo porn was sweet!”
Excuuuuuse me? Are you guys talking about that hidden hentai section Souppy mentioned?


@Taeshi: The backgrounds are getting more and more complex! I love the amount of those little details !

Hey taeshi(is that your real name or just a user name?),

When are you gonna finish the shop? you should totally get a cap or a beenie with yashy on it or other characters… or something

Oh and for a freebie I will tell you something i would get. I would get a shirt of that turtle triping somebody on it. that would be epic.

If you are already getting this stuff ready before i even posted.

Damn it people, there is no hentai unless you commission Taeshi for it! xD

@Ved of Flames
Why so serious?
In other words: Yes we know that “secret hentai section” was only a joke. Yes. We do.

Daisy and Abbey are ONE AND THE SAME. I KNEW IT.

This art work is crazy good and I am really enjoying were this is going and I bet that Lucys goning to be in it and sing and then mike will like her but she will reject him. The propecy for told!!!!

Souppy, there’s currently no practical reason, it’s just something to think about when you’re bored and wanna be a nerd. It’s mostly a stab at your “bad coder” remark. Really, you’re doing a great job on the site.

@ all the porn seekers: The porn is real! You just have to look for it.

if lucy ended up in detention as well, then maybe that’s what paulo is looking forward to detention for

hopefully this chapter will bring some more development to sue’s character, and maybe an appearance or two from other secondary characters like amaya

I think Abbey looks soooooooooooo adorable in the first panel~!

@jmiles: OMG, IF MORE OF THE SECONDARY CHARACTERS APPEARED THAT WOULD BE HELLA AWESOME

Oh Paulo, your senseless antics amuse us so.

Oooooooh! I wonder what the play’s about?

hey suitcase, have you shown Veronica the story yet? I dont want my work to go unnoticed

Oh and Veronica, Do a chapter in sanguine ^^ awesome technique

OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH man ! Sue is
THA
BEST
CHARACTER
EVERRR !!!

She needs a more protagonic role

Taeshi@suit case: so were will the picture of daisy on daisy be posted if we get this awesoem comic high enough up in the ranks?

Awesome, Souppy!

(posting from iPhone)

The new style looks more elaborate but makes deepness unclear, imo.

Anyway, thanks for the new page.

Poor Sue drowned by text in the first panel.

Opps sorry i meant to say Daisy

Mezmo: just vote for BCB on one of them top weblists and you can see it.

Alec should appear this chapter!! >:U

mike has a pretty huge neck panel 1
loving the line work on these new pages
yupp

Detention was alright here and there, Mattered more on who else was in detention WITH you.

I image it was hella boring to have detention all day (“Day School” at my school) with boring/lame people but I always got lucky and got cool people in it when they dragged me out my sched class’s to make up for all the detentions I missed after school :]

who wants to bet that the play is along the lines of Romeo and Juliet

What exactly is abby again?

Mezmo, you vote and the image shows up.

furryman i agree with you i same think that it is romeo and juliet and that maybe mike and lucy have to do something with that or maybe not. we will see

Lol, better be a bathroom nearby if Paulo drank all 5 of those cans of pop!

wait
is the text bubble on panel 1 covering daisy?


haha

Hurray Souppy, the comment system works nicely on the iTouch.
(and I mean for the previous pages)

Whatanamazingffffffff, Taeshi already addressed that
D()wner, this was discussed on the last page. In fact, I brought up that it is probably a way to get Mike and Lucy together. But now, I guess this is more fir Paulo and either Tess or Daisy.

If Daisy is sitting next to Mike, does that mean in the first panel she is being covered by speech bubbles?

The way this is colored is amashing. oyes.

PEOPLE!!! READ THE COMMENTS BEFORE POSTING!!!
Taeshi has addressed the fact that Daisy is behind the speech bubble in the first page.

How did he get detention?
Did he rape the teacher or something?

My guess is he didn’t do his homework. My school tried a system like that, but it didn’t work.

Souppy: …what goes in your head? xD
The only sensible choice to rape is the 22 year old, but you’d think this school would at least give an in-school suspension. (then again, he could still be in her classroom during the time ;P)

souppy
i will seriously do this if you want

not joking

@SuitCase: Wow, I didn’t expect YOU to be influencing people to make porn of this comic

I don’t think Sue’s going to try and bring Mike and Lucy together with her play. She was the most supportive of Lucy trying to get along without him from what I can remember. In any case, I don’t think she’d pull a stunt like that unless she was absolutely certain it wouldn’t go wrong.

You wanna know why I think Paulo is happy to go into detention?

TESS WILL BE THERE. >:D

Souppy, remember, “WWTS?” What would Taeshi say?

Well, I just thought you wouldn’t approve because most authors of webcomics I read generally either notify readers of their dissaproval of pornography based on their webcomic or the webcomic is directed to too young an audience.

yes but some artists have a sense of humor
also, working on it

also this is going to be more silly then erotic
ps. paulos ❚❚❚❚❚ is gonna have the same haircut as him

Yeah, but then there’s always the felony of possesing child pornography. And before you ask, yes, anthro creatures and manga involving characters that qualify as “underaged” by the court system is grounds for being arrested. This happened to some guy in Iowa. It was actually in the news.

alright in this comic they are all 18 because they got left back a bunch and uhh they are all just small
no one can prove me wrong because its my drawing

loophole

Here’s a link to the article I mentioned.
http://www.wired.com/threatlevel/2009/05/manga-porn/

And amazingwoop, they can go to the author or check archives of a source and find out that they’re all about 14-16

yeah i really dont imagine theyll take any notice at all lmao
because
1. its all gonna be stupid and goofy and poorly drawn
2. loophole mentioned above
3. that guy probably had a shitload of it out in the open because they usually dont care AT ALL
besides, i dont draw manga so it cant be “manga porn”
B)

also yes they could, but however, in my comic, theyll be 18

That was just an example that shows the cops will actually arrest you for those. If you read the article, you’ll realize that he wasn’t flaunting the mangas, he was just a collector and the police found out through the postal system.

And if you think they won’t catch you, if you put the image up on the internet, the government pays people to sit online and find this stuff. They will find you.

@SuitCase

You could offer the obvious suggestion of “just stop masturbating over cats you sick freaks.”

But I suppose that would be a “do as I say, not as I do” edict from you and Veronica, eh.

@Taeshi: I would so play a BCB dating sim. Larken and Sammy’s cafe HAS to be a date spot.

Wow, even a sims game.
How far will you guys take this?
This will be more of a production than anything else.
(if that’s the case, I’m waiting for the early comics to turn into a flash movie)

leave it at a comic plz

@Sammy cat, ………………………… O……………M…………….G

dude you r rong

@Taeshi:
That would make it the best game ever.

On the Internet, things are taken literal unless otherwise stated.
Abbey’s face looks odd to me on that first panel.

Awsome panels…. hope to see how the story goes from here

Hmm. Where’s Lucy?

Paulo in last panel: “ARMS! LIKE!! NOOOOODELZ!!!”

Sue’s hawt in third last panel.

… i think sue is hawt

Sue’s kinda cute… why doesn’t Paulo like her as much? She’s not annoying or anything…

So I trust that there’s not gonna be angsty teen drama this time around.

Hurray~Pablo wears his metaphorical badge of “I don’t care” and complimentary “I accept detention as a punishment” ribbon.

Daisy swapped places with Abbey…

better ccccoooooollllloooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

I bet Paulo’s good at doing the wave then Taeshi!

I can believe his mother was a bowl of noodles. His being the greatest instant ramen chef in the world is only a testament to her noodley goodness.

Panel 6 <3

for some reason i imagined paulo saying what he said in panel 7 in a sing song voice

Hahahahaha he’s just too much of a wuss to act on a play…

The way paulo’s expression was drawn in the 2nd to last panel… I think I just fell in love, lol.

Detention was always awkward. Also, am I correct in assuming this is before the whole Lucy confessional? ‘Cause I remember Paulo going HEY MAN WHY YOU A ❚❚❚ because Mikey was helping in the play.

i thought she said why are you floating?
0_o

so is his mother bieng a bowl of noodles a excuse as to why you said he makes awesome isntant noodles? or just a strait up sarcastic joke to explain something i dont even know?
@talonstripe, mike says that, and its gloating

sincerly, the wii anonymous who comments too much
