Bittersweet Candy Bowl

At least they talk when they have chance.
And happy b-day suitcase.

Heh… I liked that page.

Congratulations, Mr. Case.

Oh Maishul!
third to eight panel. Daaawww! how you two dare to be so cute!

:o After all these years of searching… an actual conversation between Mike and Sandy!

Her lying on the bed with that phone next to her is horribly cute. And winking… awwwww.

Last panel = So squishy >w

Happy Birthday Comment Box dude =P

Anywho AWWWWWW, they still keeping in touch and being all lovey dovey and all, only goes to wonder what will happen when you add Lucy to the picture. Hmmmm
Well… Keep up the good work, GREAT CHAPTER

Happy B-Day, Soup! Hope you had a great day, dude!

Like the tone of this strip, just a happy conversation…..

how to make a webcomic? I want to start one! Oh..!! comment for this page: wow Sandy you get your style right even the”pyjamas”(I think)

I meant pajamas (wrong spelling -_-)

Happy birthday, Souppy!

On another note, how many birthdays are gonna pass before you stop saying you suck, Tae? Can you *please* go with popular opinion on your brilliance? <3

No way, it wasn’t really mike, Sandy’s going nuts, poor girl.

But this comic is makes me happy, reminds me of myself and my ex to an extent.
also

@BCB fan as I said before, get a server and get someone that knows a bit of HTML to help you build the site, get sponsors and ect. Try to however not sign up with a easy comic site (anything that allows you to quickly build a comic provided you have a username) they usually steal your content and CAN sell your story. Most people I know with a personal comic actually has their server sitting around in their living room. It can always be a start.

Wow OMG. Awesome page!
Sandy looks amazing in this comic.
And, Happy B-day Souppy!

I’m hoping Sandy & Mike can work this out

Oh how cute! But oh how I’d hate to be in love with someone so far away. *shudders*

everybody… 3… 2… 1… AWWWWWWWWW.

Your comic are simply AWESOME. I love the “blue” style. I’m still amazed by how you draw… and kind of jealous… Don’t think your that good only because everybody says so. You can be better. Like a pro can always become better, you can to. You dragged me into the story…made me addicted… So you will have to KEEP IT UP!

And yeah my name is that long.

Well, at least SOMEONE is happy….

Oh and Happy Birthday, Souppy.

Wow, Sandy is so freakin’ adorable here~! But yeah, Mike does sound weird compared to the other times he’s talked with her on the phone, is he intimidated by her modeling job or something? But really, nice work on her Taeshi, she looks amazing.

“I did not really know how to make it look like Mike was talking.. so I added lines.. his voice is not meant to be shaky, though! He would sound very elated and joyful right now, like the mike we all know and love~~!!!

not the rejecting mike.”

Jeez, I miss the old Mike I think I need to reread this sometime. Again )

Happy B-Day Souppy! And great comic Taeshi!

I love this page! =D
“Maishul” and Sandy make an awesome pair!
And….

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SOUPPY!!!!
You are AWESOME at being AWESOME!

Sandychan and Maishulkun will be together forever ;v;

AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY JERK

Well all seems to be working out fine for mike and sandy I think sandy will die later on. Happiness doesn’t last long sadly

yes mike some tantrums….

This is pretty cute to be honest. Exclusive photos! o.o

This was a late update.

i love this page my fav page ever i really hope mike and sandy can
work this long distants relashinship out

xd cant spell

mikexsandy forever

Happy Birthday, SuitCase!

Happiest of Birthdays, SuitCase!
Oh, and Sandy’s sappy. Lul.
Wait-whats with all the girly posts??

Yay! things are going to be very interesting! SandyxMichael is working good on this comic and it seems nice!! She looks happy and so mike too, with his bad attitude but, happy anyway. I want to see what’s coming next! Can’t wait until next Friday!

And…i see from 2 or 3 edits to come with this page

God damn it, i’m annoyed. From when I first saw this, I read through every damn page one after the other (Not enough of these kind of comics. We need more people!! They’re too good for there to just be one!!) but know I literally can’t wait for the next one!! D:< I’d email Taeshi to hurry up, but then the content/detail would suffer. Safe to say I’m addicted. oh and happy birthday SuitCase!

(To The Top) Exclusive photos just for Mike! No fair Lolz!!! Lucky bastard!
well the most noticeable part we have here is very simple…Sandy is a CUTIE!!! Dawww
and yes I admit that I like Sandy now!

P.S. The Brave will Tremble, and the Stupid will Triumph! - 8feet (Random)

@Edvin Anthony Jone B., you couldn’t have put it better. anyone else kind of waiting at nearly midnight to see it?! not me of course, heh heh *nervous collar tug* I have school to go to…. :S

HE LIES!!!!!!!!! Also needs to be slapped………just saying.

Oh just go live with her already,Mike!!! No one’s stopping ya! XD

@Elliot, Please tell me you are not the same Elliot from Youtube, whose videos i enjoy spectrically?

Am I really the only one who’d like to see Mike with Lucy rather than Sandy? D:

@arto i would also like to see mike with lucy i think sandy and mikes relationship wont work!

@ Arto, I too would like to see mike with Lucy (no offense to sandy) but in order for them to be together Lucy would have to move on with her life & separate herself form mike . thus making him miss her being around and miss having her so dependent on him.

or sandy would have to fall for someone on her end. ^__^ hehe. I write comics too and there are so many plot twist that the author can take.

exclusive photos. sounds suggestive. that’s good. every couple should get a little suggestive nwo and then, it keeps them together. And these two are too adorable to break up

I love how on the previous pages of this chapter everyone was like “GAH NO GO AWAY YOU MAISHUL-STEALER MIKEXLUCY 4EVA!1!1!!” and now it’s all “DAWWWW YAY FOR SANDY!!1!!!” pff. People are weird.

Good, at least two more
About the plot twists thing - I write stories, so yeah, I know a thing or two about this too ^^

yay for sandy(finnly happy)

or sandy could randomly die and then lucy got mike XD but how does there relationship work out by calling each day? its kinda weird that their dating but he never visits and when he trys it fails………. so ya

hermaphrodite post hermaphrodite post hermaphrodite post- wait, Imma girl!
I’M SO CONFLICTED. I guess I’ll just see what happens

\m/ ^.^ \m/ Thar be win afoot.

On a separate note, Twokinds updated a new incentive including an obviously fanservice bondage/dominance scene, and they’ve rocketing up by a helluva lot. Pussbuckets.

sandy definatly has big feelings for mike. she puts the phone on speaker and lays it next to her as if hes there in her bed. luv it XD

Ok now I can definitely relate to this situation. Only I think my boyfriend at the time (now my husband) and myself made more of an effort to see each other. Then again, Mike and Sandy are only in Highschool so that is going to be a lot more difficult because of parents and school and what not. Either way, it’s pretty quite :3

I’ve said it before… I’ll say it again…

MikexSandy OTP!

I DEFY you Lucy supporters to tell me that these two aren’t the most adorable couple ever

(Please note, this is not an actual challenge. Maverik has just been waiting for this page to get released so he can finally point to it when their relationship comes into question)

+After the phone call, Sandy touches herself.

… I’ve been about MikexSandy the entire time, and after seeing this I still support.

<3

And now… I will write a poem to commemorate these two!

Two little lovers, separate from each other, by miles, and constant trials;
Will always come to find, a way to leave behind, the pain, and sorrow.

Though life won’t stop, and things get hard, you have me, and I have you;
Remember these words, and hold them dear in your heart, your soul.

I love you Maishul, always and forever.

~Fin

Written from the perspective of Sandy of course! :3

Hmm…I actually don’t like Sandy that much :/

IM WITH MAVERIK!
SandyxMike aaaaaaall da way…
err i mean Maishul! xD

If i had a happy tear picture link on hand, i’d totally use it right now.

Damn it all. It’s so cute.

There, people. Hate Sandy. Just try too. Bet you can’t do it; she’s done nothing wrong. She’s innocently talking with her boyfriend over the phone. If you think that means she deserves to be killed, then kill most people reading this comic.

Damn it. The other commenters are right. This page is just too. friggin. CUTE!

It’s suddenly getting harder to be a rabid Mike/Lucy shipper. >.>

I never hated Sandy, but I can’t help but like her now. She’s just so innocent and loving.

I honestly can’t believe that she really does still love ‘Maishul’… Damn it! XD

…Darn you Taeshi you have made it so that I can’t be a 100% MikeXLucy person…
…
Fine I shall convert to a MikeXSandy supporter because they actually DO make a good couple, make Sandy more of a recurring character please? She’s too cute.

“Exclusive photos” Aww yeah go Mike getcha some bruda

uuurk…
DARN YOU SANDY! Why do you have to be so cute and innocent?
…nnnnnnrgh, NO! I must NOT give up on MikeXLucy! Unless Lucy gets together with Liam, in which case it might be SLIGHTLY alright because Liam is CUUUUUUUUUUTE!

Oh, and HAPPY BIRTHDAY SOUPPY!

D’AAAWWWW. Shooooooo Cutttteeeh.<3

AAAAAAAAAAAA you have to make Sandy a more regualar character because shes just so cute, expecially with hear hair down :3.

Well I have to admit, they make a damn cute couple, but the uncertainty of the future shrouds all in mystery.

Nonononononno, it can’t be SandyxMike.

Lets make a group of LucyxMike supporters! D:

how come i fell shipping more for mikexsandy now after seeing this arc

And so we find out why Mike has been so. If he’s had regular contact pictures and things mailed back and forth. The issue now is, does she have someone else? If she does there will be a new wave of anti-sandy however the beautiful and loyal Sandy we see here is refreshing to see!

It’s good to see that Mike isn’t imagining this like Lucy thought. It’s hard for either of them to misunderstand this relationship (Sandy and Mike) So unless Sandy is a total nob and sending mixed signals on purpose the two of them really are in love. To bad the statistics on long distance relationships really are so sucky

I can understand why so many people ship for Lucy. The girl next door/best friend/childhood friend. I mean, who HASN’T had a crush on one of those or wished they could go out with their best friend like Mike and Lucy are? It’s just not meant to be it seems. ah well, GET YOUR ACTS TOGETHER LUCY\MIKE\SANDY (I know I know, that’s a pretty futile wish but hay, one can dream.

I just want to see Lucy happy.

I’ve always been SandyxMike. It’s just right.

Wait…I have the cure!!!

LucyXMikeXSandy so that everyone is happy…Its probably already been done in the NSFW thread though >.>;

What no friday Comic?

He lies!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY SOUPPY!!

AS YASHY WOULD SAID:: WHORE! to Sandy -_-. Lol Plz dnt be mean to me thats just how I feel

i love this page. SandyxMike :3

My birthday was yesterday~

Well happy birthday dude of awsomeness,

Happpy B-Day Souppy glad that you had a good time

This instantly made me a Sandy fan.

Also Happy birthday Suitcase!

Panels 2 & 4 Sandy is ADORABLE!!!

Consistency is overrated btw. Believe me, I know

happy b day and this is cute

Hope you guys enjoyed the dinner~ Happy late birthday Suitcase

Sandy is so cute with loose hair =3

well….. at least they’re talking.

No one else seems to remember a page waaaaay far back, where one of the girls said Sandy looked really familiar, other than knowing her in elementary school…

Was it just me, or did anyone else see that was something fishy, foreboding, and foreshadowing? (>.> Too many Fs, it’s like high school all over again!)

Either way, Sandy isn’t my favorite character, or one of the top ones even, but I’m holding on to my opinions of her until we figure out what the heck that one chick was talking about!

P.S. Happy [Belated] Birthday Man-Who-Made-This-Post-Possible!

“Oh Maishul, I’ll be there with’en the hour!”

In the next 10 minutes a man in a dark soaked cloaked comes and takes out ~;<3Maishul♥.
That will be Sandy’s sorrow in this sadistic world.

Oh man, until this page, I totally was for LucyxMike, but seeing how much Sandy likes him, thats totally out the window

@Artemis: You’re not alone, something about that comment she made gave me the creeps. o.o

She is still one of my least favorites, but at lesat now iv’e actually seen some of her besides a few panels

Howdy! Long time lurker coming out.

All to say how dare you make me question which ship to sail! And here I thought Sandy wasn’t entirely sincere - but instead, she and Mike seem to be in a genuinely lovely long-distance relationship, like me and my guy…

I can’t decide!! XD Brilliant as always, and kudos for making me consider jumping ship, which doesn’t happen often! Keep up the lovely work!

EDIT: And happy birthday! :3

Huh, they’re managing the long distance thing far better than one would expect, especially considering the amount of time since they’ve seen each other

The Michael lies. He’s never happy.

distance relationships are a kind of romantic, in my opinion… there are less chances to both of them get tired of themselves…

D’aw they’re talking with each other that seems so sweet ; 3 ;

65 baww moments today

I want for Mike and Lucy to get together!!

i agree with flavio….and giantweebo. heehee sandy is adowabow

I have a hunch that Sandy and Lucy are going to meet and shit will happen. And than Sandy will tell Mike to let her go and go for Lucy.

@suitcase. happy birthday. i would also go furry 4 sandy.XD

I agree with Bell Boy.

I hope I’m not crazy for saying this, but Sandy sorta looks like Mike but with hair. <_

Fuck that: Tenchi Solution #2 for Victory.

*coughs some* The cuteness.. is luring me… nuuu! Must stay MikexLucy~ But this is a cute little conversation, I must admit. ^^

It kind of annoys my that she can’t say his name right.
I mean seriously? If someone kept on pronouncing my name wrong for that long ((especially if I were dating them)), I would throw a chair in their face.

THIS IS KIND OF ADORABLE JUST TO LET YOU KNOW

ALSO I TOLD SOUPFAG HAPPY BIRTHDAY ON SKYPE BECAUSE I’M GOOD LIKE THAT

I’m still 9001% MikeXlucy

This arc is meant to make the reader feel btter feelings for sandy. To create a situation where Sandy was never seen would make it so there would be less of a question about who Mike would go for. This arc then can cause the reader to think that Sandy and Mike prehaps really should be together. The evidence that still points tword Lucy, however, is that Mike needs to develop as a character. To develop, he needs conflict, and to create conflict, you need change. So unless this comic is about to end, then there will be, by necessity, relationship issues that crop up between Mike and Sandy.

By exclusive photos she means naked photos ;D

also Mike X Lucy is still much better than Mike X Sandy, sandy sux :V

Maybe we can get a Mike X Lucy X Sandy thing goin on, mike could be a pimp!

love the comic and the direction you take with it… it’s almost nostalgic -heh- keep up the great work

@Darkdrake: That’s kind of a depressing way to look at it.
Me, I’m just along for the ride. Analyzing the story and guessing what will happen next isn’t my cup of tea. (Also, I like surprises.)

P.S. Happy late birthday SuitCase! You made it possible for the most adorable comic on the planet to have the most adorable website on the planet!

Am I the only one just waiting for the other shoe to fall?

I love MikeXSandy, sure. But I’m just itching to see serious confict between the two. Sounds so deiciously terrible~

Wow, Michael is lucky to have Sandy. She is HOT!

She’s not as hot as lucy /rage

…Okayalrightfine…even though I’m pro-LucyXMike, I can see SandyXMike as a reasonable in-universe alternative, since it seems that she’s an okay gal.

Although, with four more pages to go, something could happen that would totally change my mind about that.

You know… I’m just sort of waiting for it to turn out that Sandy’s doing the same thing to a bunch of guys besides Michael. I’m worried she’s stringing him along I don’t want to believe it, though, because she seems like a sweetheart.

It’s okay about the lines, Sandy’s pointing to him to let us know it’s Mike talking.

Taeshi X Souppy! kowaii!

sandy was cute when she said to mike that things being better knowing she has he. Looks like she was a bit embarrassed to say that….

luurv it

nice job

Omg I want her to meet him

I like the fact that Sandy and “Maishul” are happy, but I still can’t help but think that he’s a massive jerk for turning down lucy like that.
I mean, reading it, It just came across as almost cruel the way he did it.
Even being aware of her feelings. :/


HAPPY BIRTHDAY SOUPPY.

it’s pages like these that focus on the voices of the characters makes me want to hear what all the characters actually sound like.

he should have told her about the bruises he got on the trip

habby birthday soupy!
hey i just noticed it still says next page wednesday ^//.o^?
so she models, hm i cannot wait to see where this goes! ^//_n^

Sandy , sooo attached to MIke.

Now, I’m no regular shipper (personally, I think that both MikexSandy and MikexLucy are both adorable in their own ways, which makes it impossible for me to side one way or the other since either way someone’s going to be COMPLETELY crushed) but I would like to point out that the “long distance relationships never work” card is completely irrevelant in this case considering TaeshixSouppy (srsly). That being said, happy b-day Souppy, even if I am a bit late. (Yes, I be lurker who doesn’t often pip in, deal with it.) Your comic is coming along quite nicely, Taeshi. Take Souppy’s advice and don’t be so hard on yourself. That said, you’ll have to do something about this SouppyxSandy thing XD

No need to apologise, we can wait a few days for something like that.

ai was wrong Taeshi updates very quickly with her comic, mind you it’s s’not every second or every day but still its quickly updated.

oh wow teashi! is it just me, or has your drawing skill improved greatly?

I just finished reading through the entire archive yesterday, and I must say I’m pretty much in love with your webcomic! Thanks for doing what you do, Taeshi! You are amazing! Happy Birthday Souppy!

I havent really gotten the names of characters right but is she talhing to the scarf kid of some one else? Please help me understand

@Lost she’s talking to mike(Aka the scarf kid) but she calls him maishul.

I wonder if Sandy knows that Mike’s name isn’t Maishul.

@Zabi
Probably, but she probably keeps saying it like that cause she knows he likes it.

If this keeps up I just might end up falling in love with Sandy

see before I was all Lucy and Mike all the way but now after all of her bull crap that she put him through and seeing this Im sorta a little Sandy and Mike now
DONT HURT ME

Last page: AAHHHH I HATE SANDY JYGDCBJUHTFESFH -rage-
This page: D’awww, wittle Sandy is so cuuuute~ MikeXSandy!!!

Way to change people’s minds, Taeshi. xD

If she’s a model she’s probably used to being someone she’s not. She could be leading Mike on. Which would really make me angry. Mike and Lucy are a far better match, seeing as they totally understand each other. Although, the way Lucy ran to Paulo like that was kinda iffy in my opinion.

I just want these two to break up so Mike and Lucy can be together. Also, don’t you find it a bit suspect that Sandy had to go overseas when Mike had already planned to visit her? She’s only made one effort to come visit him. Not cool.

Oh, wait!

Remember when I said there was something I wanted to mention, but forgot what it was? I just remembered!

Didn’t Tessa say to Mike before Acapulco that she’d use his ticket money to pay for a trip to Rickter?

… Yeah… what the hell happened to that? XD Coz he went to Acapulco.

@Ravengal Maishul wanted to visit Sandy soooooooooooooo much but she was on a trip/not at home or smth like this so he QQ’d and went to acapulco with others

I still honestly believe that, while there would obviously be problems between them (IT’S HIGH SCHOOL, GUYS! THERE’S NEVER ENOUGH DRAMA!) Lucy and Mike honestly deserved eachother. This page with Sandy, who is obviously successful and swooning over some guy HALFWAY ACROSS THE PLANET only strengthens my belief in that. I mean, seriously. NOTHING GOOD CAN COME FROM THIS RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN THEM.
Now with Lucy x Mike, I honestly believe they could grow further as “people” if they got together. Lucy would work off of Mike to solve her own insecurities, and Mike MAY stop being such an Emo who, while overall a nice guy, needs to deal with his own problems instead of solving everyone else’s.

LONG RANT IS LONG

I hope the new page is out when I’m coming home from school… still today (yeah it’s already friday in Germany) and next wednesday until summer break. I’m so f-ing tired of those long scooter travels to school but eh… you have to go from time to time.

Since it’s the first post from the Ratzmaus: Great comic can’t wait for how you are going to end this in (hopefully) far future, one of those less comics with good quality AND story. Still reading it through a second time because it has to be!
And before you all ask for my shipping opinion: I’m no shipper ‘cause thats not the style of a real man!

lucy is total queen bitch who deserves all bad things that happen to her and
mike is so nice he deserves to be sandy she cute nice and smart

I wonder… if Sandy was an ugly fatass, would Micheal would still like her? ]:

Anyway, Sandy’s let loose hair is cute as usualll.

I don’t think Taeshi CAN draw any character ugly She just draws them all soooooo pretty! And cute!

what? mikexsandy is awesome? you don’t say!

Oh,I have finished it.XD

Mikexlucy is way better in my opinion because they have like so many memories together and they’ve been through good times and bad times. I mean sandy is pretty and all but she’s only seen mike when they were kids and shell ne’er have the same sort of connection Lucy has with him.

@Ju. lucy is always there with mike and if there was no sandy he would be with lucy but he has sandy to look forward to seeing and being together with cause he knows that if he only looks at sandy as a partner the relationship will last and be stronger.

The link to your deviantart is gone DD:

forgot one thing with my post mikexsandy forever

p.s. sandy with her hair down is alot better then with it tied in a pontail, i think thats what it is

XD cant spell

I think Mike and Sandy both have these idealized versions of each other based on their memories. They’ve made their own versions of each other in their minds. Without seeing each other and really interacting, they don’t truly know one another. For example, Lucy and Mike are always together, so they can tell one another’s mood by body language, tone, etc. Sandy and Mike don’t have that. It’s like moving in with your best friend, college kids always recommend against it, because it never ends well.

I believe that the moment they start spending ample time with each other, Sandy and Mike will go through a lot of problems. Hopefully enough problems to break them up. Honestly, Lucy and Mike deserve each other because they already love each other unconditionally, even though they’re going through a spat right now.

Is the site down because this is the only page I can view.

there’s only one solution… Sandy must be ASSASSINATED!!

wow. I actually AM starting to hate her less.

WOW THATS AN AWESOME GUY!

DAMMIT! WHY DID SHE HAVE TO BE SO NICE D: AND SAAAAD~!!! I AM ACTUALLY GLAD SHE IS HAPPY AND HAS ‘MAISHUL’…. i hate conflicts! <3 yet i cannot seem to get enough XD
Great work! Sandy looks awsome :3

Is it just me or did Sandy just get a WHOLE lot hotter than before?

tongue
