Bittersweet Candy Bowl

That’s just a great start right their

Why is Paulo doing this to himself?

i like your initiative idea,but it’s kindda unfair to people that say… serve in the army ?
yeah,protecting the nation is getting in the way of me reading webcomics…
O.K ! i’m not really protecting the bloody nation !
i just drag a bunch of equipment around from one side of the base to the other…
but i’m still home only two or three times a week,and even then i have a job on weekends…
i’v hardly been keeping up with the initiatives as is,something i’m really sad about anyway.
so basically what i’m saying is…

yo lil ! i’m ya’boy !
HOOK.ME.UP !

whoo #3

damnit

Oh man, he is really bad at dating.
This was actually a little sad to read.

Im a really big fan of this comic so I will vote everyday

LOL. His first awkward date.

I have yet to have mine.

Poor poor Paulo. Don’t you see:David was RIGHT. You -have- changed. You’re out of practice. You’re a wreck! I don’t know you anymore man!

AMAYA!? INCENTIVE!? COME BACK EVERY DAY!?

I’m digging the shirted Paulo in panel six.

…and I only just now realised, while I was typing, that they are WEARING CLOTHES. Funny how the mind adjusts to things like that.

I feel like there should be a “,bitches.” after the “listen up”.

thanks,i hope it’ll work out like that…
warmongering 4 da win… or something…

Hehe, Paulo’s face is priceless

I voted (as usual) to get the “thanks” incentive and… no Alec McCain ?
*starts a march* We demand more McCain !
*notices no-one is following*

Thank you for that wonderfull comic anyway (I don’t post often) and I hope you’ll release that incentive side-story as an extra someday, ‘cause I’ll be out of town for the weekend. *sigh*

Ja ne~…

I can vote on my laptop and on my PS3 also.All to help BCB get in the top 10.

That is a HOT dress.

Also, PLEAZE dont do something like this in the middle of june cuz ill be moving to Kentucky(fried chicken mmm.) in the middle of the mouth and probably wont have connection when I first get there(plus not including unpacking,cleaning up and gothing out the place lol).So I propably wont be able to vote for some time around after june 10. Just informing ya but keep up the great work!

c’mon people lets help make this comic #1 okay we can do it

Panel 7: Paulo is a SPY!!!

Panel 6*

SO I’ll vote at home and at school and at severel friends places if I get the chance.
you saved my Mai btw~ x3

also Paulo looks kinda hot in clothes~
and check yes Jess’s got a car- but oh poor Paulo, so insecure~

Whoo! I’ll vote every day! On every computer in the school!

@Discipline- I guess they’re all having the same internet source, so I guess one would do ^^u

I think Paulo’s face broke.

Also, I’m gonna vote the crap out of this. School computers, home computers, friends computers, ipods, nothing is safe anymore.

Also, the incentive? No, Thank YOU.

he no can drive

HEY LISTEN!

I agree with DZ. Is he really just trying to prove to himself that he’s still a ladies man? Not lookin good on that front or if Lucy finds out…oh my.

I see it started bad for paulo haha.

You never get to make fun of Mike again, you bag of wuss.

It’s a spite date. What did he THINK was gonna happen?

@lisa
All the computers have different I.P. addresses, so they all get logged as seperate votes.

Also, Disciple, not discipline.

I forgot today was an update.
Anyways, I wonder where Paulo’s being taken? :3

I’ve already been voting three time/day, once at school ,once at hiome and once with my Wii, you’re that awesome!!

Ooooh I’m really looking forward to seeing where this goes…also, I love those shirts on guys! Paulo has nice taste.

This might be a silly question, but this 31 day incentive comic thing, will each new page be up for the duration of the whole day from 3am EST until the new one is posted the following day at 3am EST?? Just to clarify.

TopWebcomics says they’ll be down the first and second

Hey I noticed that Paulo is actually wearing pants ya know !!

damn it! 3rd may is when Halo: Reach Beta starts! how am I supposed to do play that for two weeks 24/7 and watch this at the same time!?

Brain melting with anticipation……..
*drool*…..
Y OU ARE BONE-BREAKINGLY AWESOME!!!!!!!!!
(woo past reference )

I just found out about this comic, and I read the whole thing (that is right now), and I was kinda sad about lucy and mike, but I guess that was doomed to happen, right? But who know’s, something drastic might happen Oo

Pualo just keeps failing and failing LOL.
And Yay! i’ll vote everyday x3

paulo is always hitting on girls!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! what’s up with him?
personly i think he should stick to lucy cause mike don’t want her!

This reminds me of so many childhood cartoons that aired every day… I always ended up missing one. :p

BCB WILL MAKE IT IN TOP 10! TAESHI WILL…. WE WILL!!!

LETS DO THIS EVERYONE!

Lol paulo’s face when the doorbell rings. Makes me think he is like “come on woman jeez im still spiffing up >=(“

Damn it, Im going to miss about 3 days for sure. Oh well, Ill just do what I can, n at last 2 comps

I will be there for bettersweetcandybow every day until my pc crashes !!!

See Paulo, this is what happens when you try too hard. His faces are to die for.

Oh, and thank you, Taeshi, for writing such a great comic. I’ll do my best to get my vote(s) in.

Poor Paulo… he looks so sad. Hope this works out for him.

AAAAAnnddd~ I love Jessica more now.

31 pages? Wow. o.o;;

*clicks vote button* *bookmark*

Hope ya get more votes. (>’_’)>

Wow, Paulo’s gonna need some aloe vera for that burn. That’s cold. Also you should just copy Southpark - Vote or DIE! That’s the real bittersweet candy bowl message right there.

i can get my friends to vote! probably expect around 30 votes. everyday hopefully..

Paulo doesnt look too good.

I will NEVER vote :|
ever.

Done. And done.

WOW~!! THIS IS SO EPIC. THIS IS WHAT’S HAPPENING OVER THERE!? AWESOME.

Sounds like a plan. :p Though… if truly this weekend Top Webcomics is down, Murphy’s law has again overdone it self.

And… still seeing Paulo’s face makes me pain for his butchered ego… Poor guy, and I fear things can only go for the worse…

Wonderful idea! And it will help me get through the last month of school with something to look forward to good luck with the rankings i know we can get up there :’D

Yes!!! We’ll all vote to get TOP 10!!!

btw, i feel sorry for paulo. The rules have change for him. Hope someone helps him escape the torture…

NGHHHHH? Wut?

/salute

Sounds easy enough! Beats waiting for updates, mwhaha!

And ouch, looks like Paulo doesn’t have his magic touch anymore. Either that, or that gal is just way too much for the average ladies-man! Keep it together, man!

I’ll vote er-day. x3
Poor Paulo! In the last panel, he looks so pitiful Good luck!

oops forgot to vote

awwww pooor Paulo *huggles him*

Paulo, stop trying!

Paulos just trying too hard to be a sleaze, isn’t he? =P

But… wasn’t she a lesbian?

Sadly as poor Paulo haven’t seen neither the relationship charts nor her reactions to Lucy in the other day’s incentive (that we know, he may really be stalking her of course), I don’t think he knows.

Though as was said earlier… he probably should have thought that the date was going to be a bit weird being fueled by hate and desire to mess with Tess. But again, he was thinking with his wounded teenage pride.

Holy crap BCB’s number 13!

On TWC, I mean.

dont wanna be an american idiot ye yEA *** dem governments fight capitalism

FAIL

I’m just gonna bring this up. 1: Is chivalry dead? I mean why is Jess driving Paulo, not vice versa?
2: This wasn’t answered yesterday, what is with the slashes in the name box? I’ll go ahead and change it again, I’m just wondering.
3: I still don’t know the answer to this, who are the red and black birds holding the “Latest Chapter” and “Prior Chapter” signs, respectively?

@Kegger: ever thought that Paulo doesn’t have the money to have a drivers license never the less a car?

Plus he did just turn sixteen two weeks ago.

Hw adorably awkward. ^_^

Ha! bittersweet candy stands at no.3 for May so far with…8 votes. Yay

Number for and staying there! Your campaign is paying off already! !

Pfft, it’s the weekend! It just so happens that I actually have time to vote as often as I wish!

NGHHHHH

Sucks to be Paulo, it seems =(.

I’ve only been reading this delightful comic for a week or so now (archive trawl FTW!) but you sure as hell have my votes for TWC!

Looking forward to moar in the very, very near future!

LOL! Poor Paulo. This page was posted the same day as my Birthday!

I want that incentive mate! It’s past 6AM EST already! Don’t back down now!

well, of course sd is ahead, this is their update day. keep voting peeps.

I will, I just want the incentives also

I’m voting from my laptop, my mum’s PC and my PS3

pppppppf…………. paulo is in the ladies seat!

Happy B-day Flame-Lone Wolf! and Where’s the incentive? its about 10:00am here.

Well Souppy, judging by the fact that you can’t view comments on previous pages on a phone, I couldn’t have seen what you told me. Remember, before I took my comment break, I was on of the few people ecstatic about the iPhone page.

Hey, SuitCase got the 100th comment. xD

Comment 102!

Aw man, I was hoping the incentive would be up by now. I have to take the SAT so I don’t want to wait hours before I see the incentive.

And hey! We’re #8 on top webcomics!

Timeline is a big confusion for me, so most probably I will miss the pages since I’m offline half of the week ^^UUU

It’s 11:00 where I live right now. Thanks for making such an awesome comic Taeshi! Keep up the super awesome work!

There was a ninja reupload of incentive
I saw 2 pages today! YAY

Looks like a good start for the incentve comics, but you should leave links to Webcomicx and comic hovel too, I don’t know how popular these sites are, but you were in first in webcomicz and second on comic hovel, so it could potentially bring in a few more viewers.

lol, this is looking good xD

Well Souppy, I went back and saw what you said about the slashes, everytime I come to post a comment, in the name box it reads “\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\”. Normally it just stays blank. Again, I’ll change it until I get a definative answer.

Well, as of now TWC is still up. BCB is #6, with 342 votes. Awesome job everyone!

I vote multiple times.. BUT, I’m sorry to say, I have a large list of favorites, so I’ve voting for some of the competition too. Including the current #1 and #2. =D

your at tha #6 spot on TWC ! biatch !

“In order to make it fairer for readers we pick up during the month, we may post previous pages later on, but only if we’re at 10 or lower in the rankings. Otherwise what’s the point of posting every day, right?”

And about the readers you may pick up in June or July? As they go through the archives, they will essentially see a razzberry saying “you missed it.” I’m just saying. When the drive is over you might want to take down anything that will only serve as a tease.

Where’s the vote link now?

Holy crap, he’s not wearing a seat belt!

Oh noes I ran outa new comics to read! Blast, the downside to catching up. I last few days have been very entertaining as I read up to here from chapter one. This is a great comic! Ty for making it and still making it!!! Also… LucyxCarter foreva

everyone brace for impact, we’re falling in the TWC.

Lol Paulo ^_^

All that is missing in the 10th panel is the word “Doom”.

And whoa, only page 2 and already in the Top 10.

onwards to epic failure ( Paulo) !!!!

This comic seroisly needs color

I’m tired of artists who are to lazy to color in there comic.

It’s ok to have a few non colored comics here and there but… not the other way around with a few colored pages here and there.

Serioulsly. i bet you would get way more votes if it were better quality. (*colored* *in*)

@oddguy (the imposter), dude seriously stop takin ma user name!

There seems to be a problem with the voting link. After I vote, the page won’t show me the comic… wtf?

@Quality you know that quality doesn’t matter nearly as much as story, true good quality helps but if the story is lousy, it does absolutly no good, this comic has story, spychology and depth to me that is what makes something great. furthermore, I bet if Taeshi did do them in color it would mean fewer updates, personaly I think that they are great.

Wow, looks like the incentive idea is working. o.o BCB is already on rank 7!

Gogo!

Oh yeah, before I forget, you should put the link to the other two voting sites on the main page as well. Don’t mind voting there too…

Just can’t remember their URL. <_

wow, it seems all 77 or so of the comics that I read (Misfile, BCB, EGS, ctrl+alt+del, AGs, etc.) are all vying for top 10. damn, which should I choose….?

*voted 4 times*

Baaaaaaw! I just found this 2 days ago, and caught up today! Now I missed the first page of the incentive comic, can anyone send it to me? Lordsarssol@gmail.com

@ Sarssol - I shall save thee from thine plight! (If no one else has already.)

lol im srri but paulo looks SO STUPID in the last block

Comment goes here.

Poor Paulo. He’s so stupid and sweet. :3

@ MacGyver Adrian Caboose, 77? well you top my 70 comics

I appear to be getting an odd error when clicking the voting link. Something along the lines of

“Server Error in ‘/’ Application. A network-related or instance-specific error occurred while establishing a connection to SQL Server. The server was not found or was not accessible. Verify that the instance name is correct and that SQL Server is configured to allow remote connections. (provider: Named Pipes Provider, error: 40 - Could not open a connection to SQL Server)”

Is anyone else getting this?

Ah, I understand >>;

hurray for not sleeping!

Luckily, my big school has a lot of different connections. And i am going to vote ther ever single moment of my life.

Sorry, but the shirt DOES look stupid. Sorry to break it to ya.

Paulo looks good in clothes.

Paulo looks like he’s taking a dump in her car.

for not driving he fells like ashamed she is older or something

Is there any way to find these bonus pages now that the incentive event is over? I feel kinda left out for being a new guy.

dude, he looks as miserable as he wants to be..

paulo. why do you hurt yourself like this. you dont need this kind of pain. just stick with lucy and throw a couple fantasies at david so he can be quiet

OH MY GAMMIT!

awww, Paulo looks so cute wearing his dad’s shirt <3

So what happened in the big inceto-comic?

Paulo driving? Denied.

@Bribri
Oh can it. Sorry he’s not trying to make out with every girl he sees. What’s wrong with have respect for the women he dates, or dating them for the right reasons?
He respected Lucy and didn’t want to hurt her, he was being a gentleman. I honestly don’t understand why this lack of behavior is seen as a attack against his honor. I see more honor in acting like a gentleman.

damint David now look what you’ve done. Poor Paulo.

Taeshi, ya putting a gun to my head here. Imma scared.

I got to this page on May 27…no incentive comic for me…

dont worry taeshi!! i visit bcb every freaking day to check if there are updates or not cuz, you rock…like thadius… lol

David just ruined the whole story…

Paulo looks so sad in the last panel. I’d feel bad for him…if he wasn’t making a huge *** mistake right now. Come on, dude. Weren’t you happy with Lucy?

@NintendoSegaSonyGuy

Ah c’mon man, just cause it’s not PauloxLucy now… even though he DOES go on… well I won’t say… but PauloxLucy at the moment looks BLEAK!

noogai, *cries and whimpers*

Anyone mind telling me what an incentive is?

@Milos

An incentive comic is something extra Taeshi draws to reward people for voting for BCB on that topwebcomics site. Theres a link somewhere…

Mr. Popcollar

oddguy, you my boy right there man! medic here

You know he down when he starts sporting dem POPPED COLLAS. HOLLA!!!

Ok, I apologize for that.

Damn, that girl is so hardcore. Does she drive a stick-shift? Or is she just that hardcore that she drives with her LEFT hand on the wheel the entire time… I guess if she is left handed its ok….

I like that shirt. Animals should wear clothes more often.

I totally skipped the comic for a bit because of the big text. .-.
