Taeshi’s Commentary On This Page
before people point this out and like half the comments are ridden with this - yes i realised a wee bit too late that it seems Sandy’s hand is like PHANTOMLY PASSING THROUGH THE MAILBOX like some sort of ghost, I thought it looked fine in the sketch but now it looks all UGHGHGGUGUGUHHHUUGGHGHHH so oh well
sandy you space cadet

Sorry, it may be just my computer, or yet another sign of my loosening grip on sanity and my inevitable descent into madness, but does anyone else see the blank boxes?

hmmm, this isn’t going to be a cheerful chapter is it?

Cool. I never complain to an early update. Can’t wait to see where this goes, Taeshi.

A package? Its clearly a bomb.
Poor Micheal, never knew what hit him.
Though it seems like she was actually delivering it for her mom given the thanks she got.

i bet that box is for mike
Comment ID #58828
Yoiks, Sandy’s mom seems to be a little bit on the fierce side, eh? I think I can see where this is going…
Also, perfectly logical explanation for mailbox/hand phatasming: There is an indentation in the mail-slot specifically designed for one’s hand to fit through! Y’know, so it doesn’t get stuck! Totally what’s happening right there! ![]()

Ah, Sandy doesn’t have her ear cuff anymore! (she wore one in the pic Mike had at the end of the Lucy Angst arc)

Who were on Sandy’s flashback? Sandy and Mike?
—- Edit: OMG i just get it it wasn’t a flashback Sandy just looked over the window and saw 2 kids
Comment ID #58846
Damn, she looks sexy in the last panel…
Comment ID #58847
Aw, I bet she’s missing Maishul.
HANDS OFF. HE’S LUCY’S!
Comment ID #58849
Wow, Sandy looks real tired and spacey. And yeah her mom seems like the whip-cracking perfectionist type that pushes their children to do the things “they” deem important. But that’s just what I’m getting so far, it’s not definitive yet to me. Love you as always Taeshi! <3

Sandy reminds me of Persia from Better Days. Except that Persia didn’t have a love interest.

…*twitch* damn sleeping Sandy looks so cute its near criminal! D:
Mike certainly got a catch with this chick!! XD *thumbs up to Mike*
Comment ID #58867
Oh 8feet … *shakes small plastic container* PILLS HERE!
*hint hint* lawls.
The “letter” has gotten me confused: the idea that it COULD be a letter to Mike (as suggested previously) seems plausible since she is holding the letter and such … but why did Sally’s mother say “Thanks sweetie” from the car as though doing her a favor by mailing the letter? Was the letter from her mom?
OH NOES! Could it be a letter to Mike… FROM SANDY’S MOM!? *GASP!* D:
The plot thickens like 8feet’s infinite supply of ketchup…
Comment ID #58868
@SkylineFaux, ….. well, they do seem alike, but their moms are exactly the same!
Comment ID #58869
Ah lack of sleep, i know it well. Sandy is so adorable >< poor thing.
Comment ID #58872
if you look at the last panel you will see that someone is shouting at Sandy, and I bet a million bucks (sarcastic about a million bucks) that it’s either (<—-did I spell that right?) Sandy’s mom or that she is dreaming about one (probably Michael), some, or all of her old friends!
p.s. I’m bored!

The title of this chapter is “To The Top” But it seemed that Sandy is down(Her mood I meant)
Comment ID #58898
omg i love the 6th panel <3 i really like it how you can see her eye in the reflexion!
Comment ID #58899
Why exactly is her mom saying thanks in the 2nd panel? O.o
Comment ID #58900
Poor Sandy, I know what being awoken by yelling is like ![]()
I support Mike~x~Corner, no, not Corner as in a name, as in a corner of a room
He’s obsessed with his model girlfriend, and I think he should let her go, mainly because their personalities have changed. xD Lucy and him just… Don’t seem to fit. Lucy~x~Carter, I guess?
Really interesting, seeing the comic from Sandy’s view.

Woken up ‘cause they have arrived at destination?
Comment ID #58902
How is Sandy’s mom being a bitch by asking her to mail a package?
Comment ID #58903
I see ads. Lots of them. I liked it better when it was clean! Did Facebook force these ads on you?
Comment ID #58904
So at last….. we see Sandy’s true nature….. that appears to be “sleepy”
Kind of interesting, yet surprising.
Comment ID #58906
I know this is kind of weird, but I love this comic so much that I just got up, literally, just to check the page. I totally feel Sandy’s tiredness.
Comment ID #58907
“Click”? I thought mailboxes slammed shut whether you wanted them to or not.
Comment ID #58908
Is she narcoleptic?

Comment ID #58918
Planeswalker, no, but they’re attempts to make more money to help transform the site into something that contributes a little more to Vero’s life than just being a time sink! It seems to be working, the ads you see bring in a quite reasonable amount of money.
Comment ID #58919
Thank you planeswalker! Now I understand why Bittersweetcandybowl has started taking 15 MINUTES to load. All these ads…
Anywho, this particular ‘page’ makes sandy look really midget. She seemed tall in the last one.
Comment ID #58924
When i saw the second panel i though she was going to date another boy besides Mike. ._.?
Comment ID #58928
iI’v got do idea what she’s doing. x3 The suspence!

Sandy looks like a midget.

i cant wait to see whats going to happen next ![]()
Comment ID #58942
I hate it when I’m woken up right when I fall asleep.
Comment ID #58945
The site might take longer to load because we’re heavily advertising and a lot of extra visitors are coming along. I haven’t had the motivation to work on some of the issues causing that poor performance. I apologise.
The ads are coded in a very specific way so that they don’t impact on page load speeds at all (you’ll notice they only fill in after the page has finished loading.)
I don’t mind if you dislike the clutter they bring, though. There are ways to remove them if you’re so inclined, and I’ve endeavoured to make that fairly easy if it’s what you want to do.
Comment ID #58951
Aww, Sandy’s lonely.
Comment ID #58955
Sandy sooooo wants mike!
Comment ID #58956
And i have a question, why do you draw sandy’s eyes different than the others?

how could politics ever put some one to sleep?politics!?!?!? D:
Comment ID #58973
Interesting… VeeeEEEeery interesting….
Comment ID #58975
I think I see what’s wrong in third-to-last. Her face looks vaguely more like Jess’ in that panel, though I can’t really point out why. I think it’s the mouth. Think being the keyword.
Wait, what I see here? Scandal? HOLD IT! There’s no need to fear, Pheonix wright is one the case!
Comment ID #58976
Hmm… not much to go on at the moment, besides Sandy’s tiredness, Sandy missing Maishul and her mother whip-cracking her into perfection. I wonder what’s going on with the letter and the first impression?
By the way, Sandy is beautiful. I do wonder, though, if her hair is actually a wig, considering we didn’t see it on the first page. Lol.
P.S. I actually think Sandy looks adorable when she’s mailing the letter. One thing to point out, though, is that the envelope seems to be unsealed… unless it’s a box. Hard to tell, but it’s a box, right?
Comment ID #58983
I wish everyone would quit complaining about the ads. If you don’t like them, block em. Get Mozilla firefox, that’s what I have and I don’t see one ad. Geez, it’s not that big of a deal people.
Comment ID #58986
In the third panel of the first page you can see a slight lump on her back. That was meant to be her hair. It’s just sticking towards her because if i made it all curly it woulda been an obvious giveaway, but Sandy’s hair is relatively perfect so it wasn’t all tangled up and shit
I WAS OBVIOUSLY MEANING TO BE VAGUE BECAUSE IT’S MEANT TO BE A SURPRISE THIS CHAPTER IS ABOUT HER SHE DOES NOT WEAR A WIG ARE YOU PEOPLE STUPID
Comment ID #58987
She’s pretty much like Rayman. Floating hands 8D
Comment ID #58988
She doesn’t wear a wig!?
Because she lives in Nazi Germany. o~o She’s being taken to a concentration camp.
Hitler is her mother.
Comment ID #58994
Mika- You…are amazing.
Sandy’s mom kind of reminds me of my own mother.
NAGS NAGS NAGS NAGS NAAAAAAAAAGS constantly.

well, i have mozzilla and i see adds
i just use it to block pop up adds
i mean, without adds, i would never had found this comic

Sandy’s mom reminds me of my drill sergeants from basic. NAG NAG BITCH lol. Anyways this chapter surely has me curious.

What kind of kid wears a business suit?

@Sigma: the business kind

Her mom makes me think of those mothers from Toddlers & Tiaras..
Comment ID #59027
why does sandy were cloths??
Comment ID #59028
‘Cause she’s a model and needs to look good? ans presumably is going to something related to said modeling job?
Comment ID #59030
@Mira to show that she is not one of the main characters. Because none of the main characters ever wear clothes. Which is, now that I think about it, kind of weird…
Comment ID #59031
Anyone else notice that those two boys Sandy sees through the window kinda look like Paulo and David?
DID SANDY COME TO VISIT MIKE OMG
Comment ID #59032
Haha. XD Oops. Looks like my comment tipped Taeshi-san over the edge.
I know she was being vague on purpose… I just found it odd afterwards that her hair was so incredibly flat on the wake-up panel of page one that she looked EXACTLY like Lucy. I know it was intentional, just… ugh. XD
Sandy’s hair obviously doesn’t tangle when she wakes up, like mine does. Instead, it sticks to her body. XD
Comment ID #59050
Love the pace, slow enough to really let the reader think
Comment ID #59056
Woo! Go Sandy! Sandy FTW

I’ve got a baaad feeling ‘bout the way Sandy looks so upset and depressed… Mike better watch out for any incoming post.

What is happening with her.
And what are they listening to?

She seems so sad =(
Darn you for making me feel bad for her!

Regarding the incentive comic: I adore the imagery of the past few pages, and now want to listen to the song that Lucy is singing. What is it called?
Comment ID #59140
I must say… This is just ridiculous… I mean, I’ve been in a situation like this, but at least we had cyanide pills in case we were captured by the bloody crazies we could end the pain… Poor Sandy… v.v
SANDY! WAKE UP! IT’S TIME FOR YOUR QUARTER-HOURLY BEATING. I:<

hey, i finally made it to the most recent page! I have been reading for like three days straight now XD
ah…I cannot wait for the next page, one day now! //w<
yay

finally time for what sue mentioned to take form?
Comment ID #59166
I… Oh my Gourd, I’m… FINALLY CAUGHT UP, SNAP!
I have been reading this for three or four days now, I’m finally caught up! TwT
Comment ID #59168
I’m glad to be able to get to know Sandy more personally. I haven’t been able to have any real opinion on who she is now. I mean, there’s a little about her earlier on. We know how she met Mike and everything but I’ve bee interested in knowing how she’s grown up since then.
Comment ID #59180
i don’t get wat is she doing?
Comment ID #59248
You realize of course you’re making impossible for me to say “Mike- go back for Lucy- She’s just as cute, and she’s actually there.” The cuteness factor on Sandy went up exponential in panels 1, 3, 5, and 9. ![]()
Comment ID #59258
This wait is nearly KILLING ME! Seriously.
Comment ID #59272
I discovered this comic at about… mm lessay 11 last night…
It’s now noon and I’ve read through all of the pages so far…
…Good work.
Comment ID #59287
Haha, I’m not seeing any of these “flaws” in the comic you’re pointing out, Taeshi.
As they say, you’re your own biggest critic. When I draw or play an instrument, all the flaws are just so painfully obvious in my head, it tears me up inside. But other people just don’t seem to notice them! I really doubt people would see even half the mistakes you see without looking through your eyes if you don’t point them out. :3
Edit: Oh yeah, since I hardly ever comment, I thought I’d mention how fun that survey you had up a little while ago was. I love surveys!
Comment ID #59313
Yeah…I could say that Sandy kinda looks funny in a few scenes…but who am I to critisize? I draw www.pobrepucho.thecomicseries.com and I can only have the right once I’m critisized…so until then i keep my mouth shut on critisism
Comment ID #59314
Hmm … this very interesting story …
No offense, but Sandy’s eyes seemed to be a bit square-ish rather than oval-ish in the third-to-last panel.
