Bittersweet Candy Bowl

Lucy, right. Haha…ha..ha…..

Love this comic.

David seems to be becoming a more and more interesting character. Also, given his expressions and responses, he doesn’t seem to be rooting for PauloxLucy

I’m all about Lucy being happy with Paulo. If she can get something stable going finally then good for her.

Haha, Weird Al reference in the incentive ^_^

thi is gatting quite interesting…
what will happen to paulo and lucy..will she ever go back to mike..the are question we ask and how fun ill it be until we know…eh?

wait… what? what did she do?!

I didn’t quite understand at first Jack, but he said LUCY blueballed Paulo, but PAULO is the one who turned her down. He’s embarrassed because he doesn’t wanna tell David he turned down sex.

oooh! for a minute there i thought she didn’t sex him but ded something else instead. he did say they fooled around.

Nah, doing the other stuff still pretty much counts as sex.

EHHH???

What David meant with “leave it to Lucy to blueball you”?

P.S: I’m not stupid, I’m portuguese.

Poor Paulo, even if he “doesn’t do awkward” lately he seems to be sorrouded by it. Not that it’s an issue, he puts totally awesome faces when that happens.

And I feel that the super macho image of Paulo in David’s mind is crumbling again… or something…

Adult Mike scares me.

mommy? why are that mans muscles all box like?
…
ya, adult mike is funny. x3

@Ana: er… blueball is a male condition which comes when one is aroused for long but finally doesn’t er… finish the affair? Used in that context he meant that Lucy was the one to abort the operation and left Paulo with the craving. And obviously that wasn’t the case. :p

And sorry for the double posting. Yay me and my taking too long to write comments.

No offence, but Im hoping for a mikexlucy ending. Mike just needs to get his senses knocked back into him.

lol i so love the voting panel mike bangs lucy in the end o.0

>.>
perv.

Ah David, even your idol knows when the time is right.
And adult Mike scares me. How dare you turn Lucy to stone.
Wait, were Daisy and Paulo married!?

Hummm… I can’t decide if I’d prefer a MikexLucy or a PauloxLucy ending…

But Lucy does seem to be happier around Paulo.

We’ll just have to wait (For ages) and see.

hah omg that voting pic made my jaw hurt - I lol’d so hard.
Poor Mike, or lucky Mike?

dude… lucky.

Seems David is having a bit of trouble picking up on the changes in Paulo…

Great incentive, I haven’t laughed like that in ages!

“EH?!”

Also, that incentive comic was silly and I loved it.

I donnu… it must be really AWKWARD if they actually do it- for the friends and them and all that-

WHERE IS THE FREAKING VOTE BUTTON?!

Hm.. not sure if this will come back to bite him. David doesn’t strike me as the tight lipped type (more so out of innocence then malice of course) not exactly the guy I’d tell I was ‘fooling around’ with Lucy…. if the dog blurts that out later both Tess -and- Lucy are going to want to ring his neck.

But ah, they’re best friends, maybe I should put more faith on the dog?

Nah, he probably just came in through the forums and didn’t realise it.

Don’t get no vote links in the forums.

I notice it.

It’s a very lovely drawing Miss Taeshi.

Weird Al reference in the incentive? How clever! Almost missed it.

Loved the oncentive!!! ;)

David’s FREAKIN’ OOOOUUUUT.

Oh, and in response to the opening of your description here:

CSI Miami: YEEEEEAAAAAAHHHH!!!!

Also wouldn’t that be agaisnt the law since mike was ten years older but Lucy wad preserved as like 14?? Or would it just be her age but how young her body was??

technically she has been existing for 24 years, biology wise, she is still 14. so there. :\

incentive was good but the last part of it….
*Blushes and nosebleeds*
O/////////O

Just finished reading the entire comic… That took a good long forever but I must say it was worth it. Phenomenal comic. <3

“She was still a delicious loli”

Wait, what?

How old are they in this comic again?

‘round 14 i think, or 15 or something.

They’re sophomores in high school, so that puts them somewhere between 14 and 16.

And what the hell happened that we didn’t see?!

Man do I feel like an idiot, it took me three times of reading this page to finally get that last portion of it. It’s good to see that Paulo doesn’t confuse this, I never really thought of him as this levelheaded before but there you go.

“EH?!” Hey, THERE’S a vote button. I actually looked for it on Monday but couldn’t find it. Saw someone in a comment say it was on the “Main Page”, but… this webcomic has a main page? Whaaaat?

you can see the ages at styory&characters.

****ING.EPIC.ALBUQUERQUE.REFRE NCE.


You win an internets, Taeshi.

Comment for the incentive: ROFLWUT.

i got so confused during this strip i fell stupid.

Just finished reading through all the backlog, This. Comic. Rocks. Out of the 50 someodd webcomics that I read this is the only one I’ve bothered to take the time to vote, that’s how much I love it.

i think the only thing i can express for this is… umm umm umm \o/ <— that guy :3
good stuff made, new incenitive is good too ^-^

Is… is… is David an Observer!?

Wow, David is really coming out of this character closet and actually showing intelligence…
Incentive was good.

I haven’t read a good comic like this in… well ever… lol…
keep it up!

@Jack

I’m not a dude! So there.
Also - Loli Lucy getting banged by Adult Mike - with witnesses = Mike win?

@ incentive: xD

Freaking yes. A million times, yes.

@Ragnir: Well… the results seems to be a “Mike win” for completing his epic and marvelous quest for um… getting his man juices all over her gorgeous face. The fact that he had to wait ten years adrift alone in a boat, fighting killer fishes and getting his poor scarf ruined (oh no) hurts a bit that “Mike wins” impression though. ^^u

And by the way, I find amusing how David seems to be torn between being relieved by the fact that Paulo didn’t do anything serious with Lucy after all (which, by the way, is interesting cause it truly seems he feels that way) and being angry at Paulo for letting go an opportunity to score.

@x_uve

Well when you put it that way…Yay for Mike?

& Yes. David. Feeling things. Weird huh?

I don’t see the icon described either. I see a hyperlink with the text “Vote for BCB on Top Webcomics” but no button.

Anyone notice how David grew like a foot or so over the course of the last two panels?

I love david so much.

what the heck?! another Jack?! alright you impostor! who are you?!

never mind, i came after you so im gonna be Jack the second.

EHHH?

Haha, David is so funny. xD

@Jack (the first one)

It’s not so much David growing as Paulo shrinking.

HAHAHHAHAHAAHA THE INCENTIVE
that is the best thing ever

hey congratz your close to rank 20… and if im right this time, you might even hit around rank 18 or somehow proving me wrong again rank 15… actually i keep forgetting to account for how many days are left…

actually, i just reloaded TWC you ARE rank 20 lol

that incentive was the best thing EVER!

I loved th fact that Mike still had the same scarf in the incentive. He can boat across an ocean, but he still wont lose the scarf.

^.^” eh?
-_-” …
X_X! EH?!

CLASSIC!

Older Mike is ****ing hot.

Just throwing that out there.

Yay! Weird Al reference in the bonus page! Albuquerque for the win!

4 votes away from 19. VOTE PEOPLE!

This page + incentive = EPIC WIN.

Taeshi, I love you. ; o ;

Hi everyone! I am back. Comic looks good so far.

LOL.David’s funny.

Aww man I just caught up and now im sad for not being able to see whole chapters at once…
I do like your comic though and hope it stays the same.

David’s face in panel 5 is soooo Azumanga Daioh, it’s hilarious. …(same goes for 90% of all previous panels too.)

NUUUUUUUUUU! Wha?!

“Like 10 times people watched it was great” I LOVE THE INCENTIVE i was like he finally realized YES then i was like NO then i was like YES then i was like AWW then finally i was like

No PauloXLucy DOES NOT WORK LucyXMike works but PauloXLucy DOES NOT

I love how people act like they actually own the characters and know what’s best for them.
LOL
What happens happens, people.

After two days of reading, I’m all caught up from start to finish(kinda) woo!

NONONONONONONONONONONONONONO THIS ISN’T THE LAST UPDATE SINCE I STARTED READING NUUUUUU D=>

I WANT MOOOOOOOOOOOREEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111111111!! !111!!!!!11

Hmmm i never read a decent webcomic before…….

I love David’s expression at the end. It’s like “HEY I AM RIGHT AREN’T I I HAD BETTER BE RIGHT DAMMIT”

thou be warned taeshi if there is anymore extreme melodrama as in the chapter another shoulder, somehow, someway, i will “break” into the comic, show up as a norwegian forest cat, find lucy and mike, and proceed to lock them in a small room until they make up and all is well again … until lucy roundhouses me into the lower stratosphere then ayu beamed by mike and poof im back into reality ;3

I saw the bonus comic…
YOU GAVE IN TO PERVY TEMPTATION

WHAT CAN YOU POSSIBLY DRAW NOW WHICH WILL HEAL ME

LOL The vote image’s end made me laugh ”10 TIMES”!
HAHAHAHAHA!!

Message from the same Random FRENCH guy =D

Great chapter so far =D
By the way, congradulations on #19 in TopWebComics.com!

Paulo being a good womanizer knows “you don’t stick you dick in crazy” especially if you have to deal with them on a regular basis.

Wow, an epic three days after finding it, I’ve gotten caught up on BSCB. And I gotta say, it’s bloody amazing so far, keep up the great work!

Why is David so dependent on Paulo being a lech?

rank 20 has been broken. Keep voting people, only 3600 votes between us and rank 10

All’s I know is, it’ll never get past 2kinds and The Phoenix Requiem. Just sayin’.

@Insomniac: So says you. People said that about 2kinds and Pheonix Requiem back in the day, citing the then-heavy-hitters.

Why so negative?

Also, incentive comic is FTW. FOR TEH EFFIN’ WIN.
LOL at olde-tyme PokéMon references (S.S. Anne, Singing Jigglypuff as reporter with microphone, the stone maiden who waited for her lover lost at sea for years, then the tears that woke her up like Ash in the first movie…)

Also, “delicious loli”. And the Weird Al quote. It was great.

jh

Okay, so, I’ve gotta ask: Did Lucy… er….. “help” Paulo without actually having full-on intercourse with him? Or is he just embarrassed because he’s the one who shut HER down? For some reason, I’m leaning towards the former O.O

1 thing: WTF INCENTIVE!?

Most epic incentive ever ^^

So Paulo is fully aware that they have quite fool around but it seems he did not see Lucy is looking at him with a “he is so awesome” look on her face. What will he do when he will guess she’s starting to fall for him? Perhaps it will be Tess who will check that first.

Epic drama incoming ^^

I’ve just read through your Comic, and its danm addictive . Now i can’t wait to find out whats gonna happen next.

Love your comic! totally addicted @_@

The vote incentive comic is wrong on so many levels! Hilarious!

GO LUCYxPAULO!!! YAAAY!!!

hey wait a tick… where IS TESS?
haven’t seen her… not even in the previous chapter.
<. <;

Also, LucyxPaulo…. i say, nay.
LucyxMike, NAY.
Nay goes Horse.

Stop criticizing the sotry and enjoy it like normal people

@Hijack: Define normal people =P

I for one am loving the story unfolding, it’s actually pretty interesting, and in my experience, the way things would actually transpire in such a situation.

Awesome comic thus far!

I’ve been reading this comic for a long time, and I gotta say, it’s amazing. ^w^
Y’know, though… If there isn’t one already, I think it’d be cool if there was an incentive archive. =/ I hadn’t been able to get onto a computer the last week or two, and I missed all those incentives. ;^; It makes me sad.

Ha. I’d never heard the term ‘blueball’ before this strip. Had to look up what it meant. Yeesh, it sounds unpleasant… but thanks for teaching me something new!

Also, I know I asked this on a previous strip, but I’ll ask again, just in case you didn’t get it.

Does Sandy have a dark past too?

So far, in all that we’ve seen of her, she just seems to be a Mary-Sue made to keep Mike unavailable. I’d love to know that she has a dark past too! ^.^ And also a darker side to her personality. >:)

@ravengal to give someone “blue balls” is when a girl is a total tease to a guy, and he thinks he’s gonna get laid (100% sure), but he doesn’t. ha ha

Just throwing this out there, but I remember earlyier in the story about why the comic is named how it is. And while I read the bonus comic, the picture with the guy saying Furry Yiff or porn!? popped in my head andd I burst out laughing lol…..IT was freaking funny lol until my mom throw a shoe at me and told me to shut up…..that hurt.T_T

Also Taeshi, you got a myspace? I want to add you as a friend. Ill also add anyone who wants to be friends.All I have for a friend is the dude who sings fireflys and all he talks about is random stuff….makes me think if he’s high or something……wait….that must be how he gets all those song Ideas.
0_o?

crap now i have to find another long *** comic to read

bleh whatever

That’s what I said.

I think I understand why David acts so loopy; he’s always an outside observer on other people’s personal affairs. He’s not stupid, he’s just confused!

Hey, Taeshi! BCB is #19 on TopWebcomics nao! Luv this comic so much - it totally deserves the rank!

i don’t like comics…

i just found this thing…

and i found it very amusing…

very funny and cute…



i love anime and manga!!!! <3 ^^

(nameless)’s comment will be postponed until Friday.

WHERE IS THE FRACKING VOTE BUTTON?! THIS IS A GREAT COMIC THAT DESERVES #1!

Wait, thanks Taeshi.

Eh!?

noooooooooooooooooo David is getting smart and the funniness will go away nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

I like David’s expression in the last panel

what is he Canadian? with his “HE?!?!?!”

Lucy, don’t do that kinda stuff!

Aha.

EH?!

you used that joke before, wasnt funny then, but atleast this one has more than jsut a joke.

sincerly, the wii anonymous who likes pie

It’s all that Paulo taught David being thrown back at him…..

…without Paulo’s influence, I wonder how David would act….

…

panels 5, 7, 9 -> theyre the same size

panels 12, 13 -> david is taller again?

wow make up your mind (david IS taller, right??)

DFA that’s point of view. In 11 and 12 Paulo is a bit farther back because David is walking away from him with anger.

Idk if you’ll ever read this. Meh.

SPOILER FOR THE NEXT PAGE!

Hello, it’s blackmage. Yes I’m the same blackmage in all the other comments.
You may have been wondering about why I don’t like David. Well in the next couple of pages you will know why.

Thank you for teaching me a new term today Taeshi.
Imma go tell mah mommy and daddy now whut blueball means!

Panel 4: Paulo’s blushing face says it all. I love him. He’s the best character hands down.

Come on, David. Be happy for Paulo.

.SIRROUSLY (ima start callin you nin, your name takes forever to type ) David you tard

You need to put on sunglasses when you put something like that in the description
…
YEEEEAAAAAAAHHHH!

lol, “Eh?!”. I’d so react the same way. xD

I love David
