Bittersweet Candy Bowl

coool,what a mess he’s gotten into

YES! THE CUTE STOIC ONE! NICE CHOICE PAULO!

/caps lock

Wow

Yay Jasmine is really cute!



PauloxJasmine!!!11!

YAY JASMINE!

I can’t wait to see her in future comics. She seems so cute! I hope for her sake and Paulo’s that she’s smarter than the Juniors.

AND I SEE MIKE! I miss him.

Would of chosen same Paulo, even if this is a big prob you got into, if you can date her and have fun without probs it will be worth it

lol, that note just made my night!

Yeah, Jasmine really stands out quite a bit. Just watch Paulo figure out that just like it was said in this strip, she’s not going to be as “easy” as the other two.

Yay now Jasmine!…Paulo rly needs to attend some sex education class with that crappy sex ed teacher at middle school…needs to be scared out and wear nice safe protection…or he’ll finaly will get his real “Alergia”.

Wow Mike’s Cameo? or was intentional? A while since the last time i saw him!

Ouch. I wonder if Paulo is going to do something she regrets? Of course, he has the capacity to be a gentleman, but apparently he has decided date = hot sex.

I’ve been waiting for this page!!! =D it’s awesome!~ Can’t wait till friday’s update! I’m so glad this came up.. I don’t think I could’ve lasted… so… tired… *yawns*

How bizarre, I coulda sworn I’ve seen that guy with the scarf before…. Maybe a recurring extra…?

Nah, I’m probably overthinking it.

Lol. Mike seems so bored and pensive in these cameos.

I am already sooooo mad at Paulo right now! If he does something stupid I’ll never forgive him.

I remember this character that used to be in the comic. I think his name was Mitchell? Mickey? Iunno. It’ll come to me.

Again, awesome as always David.

>:[….not touching this one *sits off to the side, waiting for the new story arc to kicks off* Still wanna just smack David across the head for this

Why does Jessica need to be a ****? QQ

I bet Jasmine will talk some sense into him.

Oh dearie me…
Still, Jasmine’s an awesome-looking new character. I almost hope she sticks around - not that that seems to be in Paulo’s gameplan.

Here’s hoping that Jasmine isn’t as easy as the Juniors.

And, holy ****, MIKE~
It’s been a while since he made an appearance.
He seems smaller than Paulo and David, though..

@Milly
Well, he’s farthest in that shot and David’s the tallest of the boys in the BCB cast.

…O_o I thought Mike was Lucy at first glance he’s really pale! Then I saw the scarf…

…What does that letter mean? I honestly have no idea. ^_^

you don’t want to know…

Oh hey, time to over think things.

“Remember kids, get tested, because if you give STDs, you will NEVER get laid again.(In that school area.)

That letter. Full of WIN! Pickle Weasel!

TOO…… MUCH>>> WIN!!!!!

…….. Nice choice Paulo, but do you honestly think a new Freshmen will go that far on the first date. But I wouldn’t be amazed.

Geeze, where was I when girls this young started having sex?

ohhhhhhh deaaaaaar

Hahahaha~ Cassidy seems as rude as Paulo~

I lol’d at the letter. xD

I have a feeling this ain’t gonna go good (Yay alliteration) for Paulo.

Is Jasmine asian? She looks slightly chinese. Or maybe Japanese.

Snrk. Where to get tested, though? I know a great place called Planned ParentHood…

But… but… she’s not a japanese bobtail from the looks of it…

From the looks of that note, Jasmine is someone who would put out and that’s why it says get tested.

So is Jasmine the new Amaya? She hasn’t talked nor opened her mouth yet

And now we learn the Freshmen are ******….

Alas Fresh(wo)men are always ****** except for a few god given exceptions@la commie!(are you a communist?0.o)

and 45th post W00T!!!!!!!!

She IS really cute though… ^_^

Oh… I’m also wondering… are Jasmine and Paulo both Asian? I know Paulo is a Somali, so I’d count him as that…

Lol Well almost everyones want to see Mike (i think O.o) and there he is, thanks for another page Taeshi

I have nothing to say about this one it is well made as always ^^

OoOh~

Well, the other two kinda look like a modern yuppie and an anarchist so I can imagine why…

He obviously forgot how he was at 10

Oh, this precocious youthful… |3

hahaha! Oh gods, good one Cassidy!! [it’s most likely true as well]

Well all I know is that something bads going to happon.

@SkylineFaux: HOW DARE YOU EVEN SUGGEST THAT JASMINE IS A NEW AMAYA!!! AMAYA IS IRREPLACEABLE!!!

K, here’s how it’s gonna go down…. Paulo n’ Tess will be eventual couple. He’s doin’ the exact same thing she was doin’. This date will turn into a sh*t-storm with Tess or someone close to him at the movie, he’ll have an angst arc, then eventually he and Tess will get back together….. OR I TAKE THE INTERNET HOSTAGE!!!!!

Ooh, looks like Dave is gunning for a fight with Souppy…

Well this should be interesting ^^. And I agree, if I had to pick, I’d go for Jasmine… Wait… No…. I meant if I were Paulo……

DAMMIT, I’M NOT A PEDO.

Hooray for work days! Means I get to vote from my computer and from the office!

Awesome. ^_^ Paulo chose the cute, shy one. She has a cute name too. Jasmine.

Holy… Paulo’s rethinking nailing her when we suddenly discover that Cassidy is a female David! She’s encouraging all the wrong things… That’s probably gonna lead to Jasmine trying to impress Paulo… and him thinking that, maybe, she IS a ****… *facepalm*

Oh and it just occurred to me. With Mike being so close to David, wouldn’t he hear all this talk about nailing girls? o.O Haha, maybe he’s just ignoring it.

Also, I somewhat thought David was a bit odd calling a scary movie romantic, but I guess it CAN be in a way… especially if Jasmine’s clinging to Paulo all the way through it. Heh.

@ Ravengal
Nah, when Paulo and David are talking about that sort of thing, an S.E.P. field goes up around them. Cookie to whoever gets that.

Liam is such a CREEP.

Lucy, why couldn’t you act this fluffy when Mike did stuff with your pets?

@ Obsidian

Just looked up S.E.P. fields. Haha. Real interesting. Sounds like something I saw on Doctor Who.

AGAIN!!!





~meee~

I have feeling this go good for paulo at first but then he find out she just as big **** as Jess and Rach.

Then he be embarrassed.

Still say Sandy is bad guy.

hahaha! “get tested”

Oh I had a feeling it would be her.
Sometimes tells me this time is going to be an eye-opener for Paulo though.
We’re about to have a moral lesson, kids!

Incentive comic—- OH NO WHY DOES LUCY LOOK SO FLUSTERED IN THE LAST PANEL SHE MUST HAVE A FEVER

Ha, love the comic feel right now, though I’m sure it’ll get back to drama soon enough. Will this relationship last? Probably not >_>

I don’t know why, but Jasmine looks somewhat familiar…Ahh, well. It’s a nice design.

I hope Jasmine doesn’t mess up like Rachel and Jess did. BE BRAVE JASMINE!!! (against Paulo the creeper sophmore…)

Dammit, Tae, you ARE setting up Paulo for an STD, aren’t you?

:[

I can’t wait to see whether she’s making tht angry face because her friend is joking about her “putting out” or because she didn’t think at first that this sophomore might be such a creep. I hope it’s the latter. Paulo needs to get back on track with being a likable guy, or he’s going to fall out of MY favour.

…Kidding…..?

Also, anyone remember when this used to be a cute but mature comic about the innocent crushes of two cats?

“Middle school!” =D
… Yes, thank you Captain Obvious.

MIDDLE SCHOOL!

Orly David?

I can’t help but think that the whole “get tested” line isn’t a joke…is Paulo heading down a dark and dangerous road? Is Jasmine as innocent as she seems? Or will her past haunt Paulo for the rest of his days? Stay tuned!

WHO THE HELL TOOK MY NAME!

@Dave: WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?!

This is gonna be funny as hell, wonder how Paulo will act through this one…

*thinks back about Paulo’s other dates* … *facepalm*

David, you are such a bad influence….

if i were her id murder my friend

Hey BCB has reached 4 in the rankings! Lets go for third move out people!!

how do i get back to mobile version?

whats the mean of the expression “to put on”? I found a lot of meanings but don’t known what are the correct

To answer Flavio, “put out” is to want someone to have sex with you. I’m 14 and I know this. Basically, the girl wrote, he excepts her to have sex with him. Him being Paulo.

Anyways, I like Jasmine’s design, but I would like to see Amaya for some reason.

thanks, mister v, i wrote wrong, is “to put out” not “put on”…. Also, i dont known a lot of expressions in englishs….

Oh GODS, this will SOOOOOO lead to a can of worms….

Mike looks like someone who hates life.

So is Jasmine gonna be a continious character now? It seems like you put quite a bit of effort into her design

Awwww David looks cute on panel 3

…im a David fan… DEAL WITH IT

LOL AKWARDNESS ENSUES

I just noticed something. Whenever Paulo looks like he’s about to be smart and make good choices or start having a good relationship, David says something that causes him to do something stupid and mess it up.

Theory:The guy that trained Paulo to be the way he has been throughout most of the comic sent some goons after Paulo to scare/mess with him for basically saying the training ruined him and that. They chased him up a tree and barked at him. David is probably the younger brother of one of these said goons and is tasked to keep Paulo from making good choices and the like.

@Ominous: Gasp, you might be revealing plot! Kill him!

Hey Ominous… Shut the f**k up Just kidding but still dont ruin the story for me

Dick move, Andy, Dick move

Kill Him, Kill Him!(@Taeshi or Suitcase:How do I get back to mobile version?Pls tell.)

Sorry. It’s a Hobby of mine to predict what webcomic artists/authors are gonna do in their comics. I have to date made 10 correct predictions in about a 5-7 year time period.

Nah…I doesn’t seem like something Taeshi would do, plus David at first had no idea about Paulo’s fear.

Didn’t you guys ever think Taeshi made David a stupid character just so he could be stupid?
No overthinking guys this is not that kind of webcomic.

OMG LUCY IS BEING SO WEAK WITH LOVE THINGS NOW
LUCY GET BACK TO YOURSELF!
WE WANT TO SEE YOU LIKE YOU WERE BEFORE!

I AM USING CAPS-LOCK TO FUEL MY RAGE!!!!!

There much better.

lol “get tested”

with all this sex Paulo’s been having (yeah, he’s totally gonna do the hanky-panky with Jasmine), I wonder if there is going to be a teen pregnancy story arc…

I seriously hope not. Taeshi said Jess is on the pill, he can’t with Rachel, and I doubt it would be with Jasmine since that would rather idiotic (new char just for that)

Why is it nothing like this every happened in my high school? It seems to happen in every high school everywhere, but, knowing mostly everyone, and every gossip in every grade my entire time there…. It never happened. Ever. Not that I’m complaining, but… still… I can’t even imagine how high school kids even begin to behave like this…

@Liz …Wow, trade lives please?

This happens all the time at my high school and I’m starting to get sick of it.

Nothing like this happens at my school either. I think the biggest event that ever happened was three years ago when a construction worker accidentally dropped a crowbar on a student fron two stories up. Broke his arm. Nothing interesting.

Suicide, Car crashes, students selling themselves on the street, love tetrahedrons, fangirls and of course bloody teenage drama.

Honestly willing to trade lives with anyone since in my school I’m a problem fixer meaning everyone goes to me to sort their teenage drama.
Though to be honest only one guy has committed suicide.

thats never happened at my school but someone did kick the wall in the girls bathroom now theres a hole there,ya

Lolzz you lucky ~beep~

well, in this webcomic the all the scenario, historys, social enviroment and a lot of other stuffs are a far more simple than here, in real life. But, would be nice have a little of high school drama and romansu in our high school students age… Mine wasnt different of yours, although i studied in a militar high school, in only male class, but i dont regreat it….

Good point there is always the dark secrets kept among people and their friends, not everyone is a kiss and tell.
Luckily all the “interesting” never happens to some people, I try to keep away from that stuff personally.

well, never mind…i’m 22 years now… and i’m college now…

Aren’t you going to put up the history for the vote comic? Or do I just not understand how to navigate them? xD

Been holding out on voting so I could know what is happening in the comic.

BCB is on 4th place now since the voting system whatever it is has restarted, keep on vote people! If you want it to stay there.

Nobody reading your comic thought about that because they don’t know how to actually socialize.

The way you drew his mouth in panel 8 makes it look like he has fangs, which is awesome.

The town **** is Lily, hands down.

How many pages are expected for Cracks in the Ice? This could easily be something that could be long lasting. I’m liking the story and I’m trying to like Liam, but he’s nice on a level of creepy observant. I still think there’s gonna be a twist of some sort.

@Dante
According to Taeshi, there are 36 pages for Cracks in the Ice.

Cracks in the ice Awwwwwwwwwww!!! Lucy’s blushing looks so cute! that’s right little kitty find him Lolz;D!

P.S. Me like zombies! Me love blowing up them heads soooooo!!!

have it have it have it have it

wait i don’t know DITCH PAULO LUCY DESEVESED HIM!!!!!!!!!

(i can’t spell…) ;____;

Ugh, i wish the story board would go back to mike and lucy ^^

aha i want it to stay right where it is because loldrama

Tokai like expolsions! Tokai know metaphorical explosion is coming. Tokai like metaphorical explosions too, but not as much as real ones. Tokai will go to blow somthing up now.

Tokai has just started reading the comic. Tokai says HI!

about the incentive. yeaaaaaa lucy… i wonder whhhyyyyyyy he wasn’t nice to you?! :[ haven’t you ever heard of the golden rule? and seriously… mike did try to be nice but you always socked him in the face for it. Lucy is a natural BIATCH! she can’t help it i guess i used to like lucy but imma starting to not like her more and more.

ps: how do you get to the edit thread, and what were you guys tallking about tht secret pic with sue?

how do i get to see the pic?

Tokai thinks that if she is a bigger **** than the juiniors it will be funny.

MiwAuturu is freaking annoyed by people who talk about themselves in the third person.

What do I do if I want to read cracks in the ice from the beginning?

Vote, a lot. If we stay high enough on the list Taeshi tends to post past incentives for people who missed them.

Hey Taeshi, Im moving Friday and was wondering if you could e-mail me incentives I missed during the time period.(I should have internet connection on monday I could message right back when I am settled.)Plz this would be a great help cause I am offically addicted to your comic.My e-mail is Riff2580@yahoo.com. Thanks.

It’s not there any more.:( What’s the URL?

Lol. I love everyone’s expressions.

Why do you have to be so good at draaaaaaaaaaawwwiinnnnnng???? And making amazing storylineeeeeeeees??????

>.< Jealousy.

Incentive - Oh, dear. Lucy seriously needs to talk with someone level-headed, like Abbey, McCain, and/or Sue. Liam is off the charts on my “creepy-stalky-predator meter.” Even Paulo, at his worst, barely ranked mention on that meter. Here’s hoping Lily can at least talk sense into Lucy. Remember your theme song, Lucy!

Edit: I just realized that Liam may have a past history that I do not know. Is this so, and where can I find it?

i hope everything goes back to the way it was. i miss mike and paulo fighting but i can’t wait for the next chapter.

Am I first one to say:
HOLY CRAP! BITTERSWEET IS #4 ON TOPWEBCOMICS!

(If I’m not then sorry)

@Emi Sorry I got there before you quite a while back…

And by 1000 votes, that’s pretty darn good for only 3 days into the new month

wait a tick—-
where are the giant fighting robots?

What?

Glad he chose jasmine for sure :0 although….gotta say jerkface at least once >:T …..oii what a mess paulo what a mess- was…that a bird on a poster……….either way hula hoop of le awesome

can you see her face? can you say raaaaaaaapeeeeeeee! or she gets preg

I hope this comment isn’t taken the wrong way, as I very much enjoy the story that unfolds here, but… I couldn’t help but notice (just now after reading every page in archive) that there is a severe lack of clothing in Paulo’s grade. It just struck me as a funny little fact.

Why is my first comment such a nervouse wreck?

Don’t worry Thu’gel, the clothing issue is almost a running joke amongst readers anyway.

I dont know what to think anymore and what happened to the play?

lol the dude in the back of the 6th panel reminds me of the hula hoop song

No thanks on that. Have had enough of stuff like that with at least 2 comics and some anime where they jump to different people or plot points different from the one they were just on every few strips/minutes.

Souppy you should know by now that we all have ADD, we read web comics after all…

im fine with this,not that it matters if im okay with it,i’m just saying

I’m innocent!

@SuitCase
Nah, they’re just addicted to MikeXLucy…

ADHD, thank you…

Hahahaha, hope you’re not mad at me, Tae.

(I hope you’re fine with me calling you that.)

ADHD here bipolar and manic depressant with a obbsession to fantasys(dont ask)
so no one can be mean to me and I have my own views on who should be paired with who it might be mikexsandy or mikexlucy or pauloxlucy or pauloxdaisy or abbeyxdaisy etc.

Hey turns out…Paulo turns the girls into Lesbians..XD

where was she when we were freshmen? middle school ! david

- So anyway, we’re gonna see a scary movie tonight.
- Romantic!
XD, yea REAL romantic

ahahahahahahahaahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahah , hey u never kno, the right movie for the right girl if ya kno wat i mean

Soo……….
She’s a *****?…
Wow…this comic is just getting better and better :3

this comic is just getting better and better but i think paulo is a *****

Bwahahah! Pwned!

Honest David FTW!

David, don’t be so logic… you have never been, why now?

I really don’t like where this is going….. what happened to the chivalrous Paulo that helped Lucy in her time of need…. I really miss that Paulo….. I hate David so much right now.

Well I suppose I can only hope for the best. But at the rate Paulo is going, he’ll probably end up raping Jasmine while David cheers him on from the side lines.

W-Wow…I’m shocked MIKE didn’t yell at him or something…

So this is the famous Jasmine. I don’t know if I like her already.

paulo you fool

I really hope she isnt a slutt, mabye then when he tries to nail her she get ticked off and tell everyone. no, mabye not that far.

Jasmine is cute and awesome. She actually seems up beat and in tune with paulo in later panels. Not the soul sucking terror that Lucy is.

MIDDLE SCHOOL ! and Paulo is like ¬_¬”

Soul sucking terror…. nice turn of phrase, Ven, and highly apt.

She looks ready to whip-smack some bitch in that last panel.

eets ze fearst streep veeth jazmeen!!!


Translation:it’s the first strip with jasmine!!!

And thats why i only have sex with the one i love and dont do one night stands.
