great stuff as always Taeshi. can’t wait to see how the chapter ends! only 3 pages more… ![]()

Oh Sandychan… You’ll get there one day… One day…
Comment ID #62845
She doesn’t look very hopeful in that final panel. Seems she already knows her mother’s answer.
Also, hm is pretty much never the right answer to “I miss you.” Mike sounds rather awkward here.
Comment ID #62846
daw. She looks very sad.
Comment ID #62847
Michael seems to talk with doubt. Hmm…

Gah! It’s so frustrating, but at the same time you just wanna know what happens next! Mike really needs to shoot for a girl a little more!

you know after seeing this arc i feel for mikexsandy now for somthing
Comment ID #62852
Yeah, Mike does sound a bit awkward.
It’s seems as if his talking is a futile attempt at cheering Sandy up.
These two really need to meet again in person, or both may just drown in angst.
On another note, Sandy is pretty loyal to Mike.
I’m sure Sandy’s gotten looked upon by other guys, (considering she’s a model and all) yet she stays faithful and goes through the pain of a long distance relationship in hopes of seeing her one-and-only Maishul.
Of course, still three more pages to go, so who knows what’ll happen.

I still MikeXLucy u.ú
Comment ID #62854
Well what do you know, SH1t happens
Comment ID #62855
Awww, poor thing is lonely. Dunno if there was anything Mike could’ve realistically been expected to do. When we guys hear something like that from the girl we love, it’s almost near-instant “to the rescue” mode (if the guy is a good guy at heart).
I’ve been lurking for a while, but finally got read up via the readers guide. LOVE this comic, and can’t help but be all for MikexSandy.

This comic made me sad
I feel really bad for Mike and Sandy. T-T
Comment ID #62861
Mike, hasn’t Taeshi said that MikexSandy is OTP? Basically meaning that it WILL work out (crossing fingers here). I’ve seen long distance work before. Its do-able, but both have to be committed and utterly loyal to each other.
Comment ID #62862
I agree with Silvermane…
I JUST LIKE SANDY TOO DAMN MUCH!!!!!!
Comment ID #62864
started this comic about a month ago and am now up to date since some time last week i am indefinitely hooked i can’t get enough and i am torn between lucyxmike and sandyxmike i can’t decide

…I’m leaning for MichaelxSandy more and more ;-;
Comment ID #62867
Dang it’s soooo sad and sweet what michael is doing and this kind of blow to my guy pride but it made tear up the way taeshi is writing this story
Comment ID #62868
a visit to the school? uh-oh. I have a bad feeling Paulo’s gonna hit on her
Comment ID #62870
-sigh- This hits so close to home for me. Been in a long distance relationship for close to 7 years now, and lemme tell ya, I know exactly how these two are feeling right now. You try so hard to make it as good as possible, you want so bad to make it work because you don’t wanna let that one special person go…but it’s so damn hard! And something tells me that Sandy’s mom isn’t exactly supportive of her relationship with Michael.
I’ve been in the MikexSandy court since I learned of the relationship, and I would love to see some happiness with them, especially since it’s been nothing but harship for them again and again. They need to see eachother, and soon…it’s those visits, those little reminders of how much you love your other and how good it feels to be with them that makes it all worthwhile. If something doesn’t give soon…I honestly don’t see this lasting much longer..
Comment ID #62871
Man.. This chapter… Gah, I used to HATE MikexSandy with a passion, but after seeing all of this, I can’t help but change my mind. You’re tossing me all over the place. I don’t know which one I want more: MikexSandy or MikexLucy. x_x
Keep up the good work. Looking forward to the next update.

Is it just me or are the pictures in the magazine she is holding look a lot like her? and if they are of her I could see someone from Mike’s school recognizing her and creating a fuss.

Aww…poor Sandy.
I hope Sandy and Mike can make this work.
Although I’m a big Lucy x Mike supporter, this chapter really made me see how adorable Sandy really is. Here’s hoping they make it through to the end ![]()

Is that her in the magazine? It certainly looks like her.
Comment ID #62897
Seems that Sandy still has some secrets. Her parents are rich and shes still not able to see her little Ele School buddy huh? What could that possibly mean?
I don’t think they will “break up” willingly ‘cause you don’t want to lose the first love. And I’m hungry bye ‘til monday

I’m still MikeXLucy 9001%
Comment ID #62903
im starting to like Sandy more then lucy now, even tho I hated Sandy before this arc. I guess its cause I have a long distance relationship and she sounds just like me. Makes me think of me and my bf. But we meet every month.
Comment ID #62904
First thing I noticed:
Her eyes disappeared, man gotta love this comic
Comment ID #62906
Hum… now I understand why Michael can’t just forget about Sandy and start something with Lucy. They keep their bond strong and filled with hope. It’s not conflicting anymore… it never was. Michael already made his mind. I don’t think Michael and Lucy have good chances to end up together in the end.
Comment ID #62908
wtf kite,go back to .hack ffffffffffffffff
Comment ID #62910
Is it bad that I’ve started thinking up relationship solutions that would appease Sandy, Lucy and Mike? And I still can’t decide betweem LucyxMike and SandyxMike. This is the kind of comic we need! and if BCB ever ends, I will personally pay Taeshi to carry it on.

Um, has Sandy still not learned that Mike’s name is not pronounced like that, or does she just call him Maishul because it’s a cute nickname?
Also, I’m wondering how Lucy and Sandy shall get along if they ever do this “visit” thing.
Comment ID #62971
OMG!!!!! DX I was a big mikexlucy fan and then this phone conversation started and it was like, AW!!!!! THEY’RE SOOOOOO CUTE!!!!!!! Now it’s all like, I want them to stay together and I want maishul to be with lucy which so can’t be while he’s with sandy and now it looks like sandy’s gonna break up with maishul (the letter perhaps?????) and then I’m gonna cry for them and feel the resentment that lucy was absolutely right! T^T Aaaaaaaaauuuuuuuuuuuuuu…. I might be crying already!!!!!!! The worse part is that now I don’t know who I want to root for more: Sandy or Lucy!!!! TToTT

Sad? Nothing of the sort! Now we’re seeing some real progress with the plot, possibly the biggest step so far towards the conclusion, Sandy’s return.

I feel a little Maishul-head in the top left corner of his bubbles would be fitting, as I can’t imagine him sounding happy even though I’m told he does…
Oh, and I really enjoy this arc. I’m MikexSandy till the end, and always was, so this is really exciting.

Yeah, although I’m sure Sandy likes the idea of a visit, she doesn’t look too hopeful it’ll happen… what with her busy life and demanding mother.

Comment ID #63040
I think maybe Mike seems less emotional about the situation because he has more faith in the situation than Sandy does. He seems more calm and collect about it than Sandy does. Granted, girls tend to get more emotional about these things….but maybe she has thought out the “what if’s” more than Mike.
Honestly…I don’t think she is ever going to get a chance to visit him. Maybe…but I am not feeling it. It’s sad….but these things happen all the time.

Comment ID #63101
@firestar
Did you even realize that Mike was going crazy for Sandy and left Lucy alone? What kind of a friend is that? There’s nothing more that screams ”❚❚❚❚❚❚❚” than putting your girlfriend or boyfriend before your friends. And that’s my point, firestar. When Sandy moved away he wanted to replace her with Lucy. That hurt Lucy a lot; she didn’t do anything wrong. So in conclusion, Mike is a true sannavabitch. He doesn’t deserve Sandy OR Lucy.
Comment ID #63126
I don’t think Lucy is a bitch at all. I think she needs to get over her personal issues and stop being mean to others or reclusive as a self-defense mechanism. Once she learns how to control her emotions and be ok with herself…it will become clear whether or not she really does love Mike …or if it was just an intense need.
Mike isn’t a bitch…he just needs to grow a pair. I think he knows what he wants he is just way too wishy washy about it to do anything about. Things don’t just “happen”. Sometimes you have to do something about it….you wanna bitch and moan about Sandy missing chances to visit you?,,,,then make the effort to go she her.
Comment ID #63127
Ah, I believe Noodle got it quite directly. Mike attempted to replace Sandy with Lucy when Sandy moved away. Now, whilst I don’t consider Mike a horrible being, I do think that he is being hypocritical and is a huge portion to blame. Michael’s use of Lucy in the void completely side-steps the fact Lucy genuinely cares about Mike, and just shows how Michael is dependent upon a love-interest /being there/.
This was exactly the thing he blew up at Lucy over. We have countless evidence of Lucy standing up for Mike, and in unguarded moments snuggling up to him. Anybody remember the time she bodily stood in front of him (which I think is a significant chapter-plot-wise)? Her past has ill-equipped Lucy to communicate her emotions, and as seen by when she starts being very nice to Michael earlier, she’s really trying. If Lucy’s emotions were truly dependence, then she would have very little regard for Mike’s goodwill, opinion, or his own emotions. Lucy also allowed herself to stand in for Sandy, because she didn’t like seeing Mike down about Sandy’s leaving.
I can clearly see love between Mike and Sandy, but the fact of the matter is, he turned Lucy into his other crush, and this turned around and bit him when Lucy actually fell for him. He’s attempting to make this is Lucy’s fault, and is just being a sore tail to be honest.
If we can recall the chapter where Michael claimed Lucy was dependent for the first time, she’s crying about him getting hurt because of her. This adds up to equal dependence? Well not quite. Guilt, fear, loss. Michael-boy, you may have been fishing, but she thought you were dead, and she cared about you. Lucy was probably going through the stages of grief at a normal pace. The shock of you being okay, is going to make any person in this situation cry. You are a not being used as a wall. You are being loved, and cared for, as a friend, and whatever convoluted relationship you have.
So, quite frankly, Mike’s complaints are largely invalid regarding Lucy. He’s at least honest to the point that, there’s nothing much he can do, and that’s well and fine. But he should accept his portion of blame, not ignore Lucy as a friend, and actually be a decent person. Or something~
Comment ID #63137
What the? @Persona just wrote a complete text… as a comment… i’ve never seen such… patience? Skills?
Anyway, Mike is not the principal character anymore, he acts kind of selfish and doesn’t respect his friends(especially Lucy) enough to deserve any of the girls.
Comment ID #63138
Persona:
I understand your point of view. I think one can still have similar feelings of loss and guilt and what not if there is a dependence issue. She did after all cling to Mike at an early age and probably developed this state of mind early on. I also think she has feelings for him, but really needs to get over a few things first before deciding whether or not she loves him (depending on how you define love). I guess love to me is just one of those gray words, haha. You kind of make it what you want it to be. I guess if both parties consent it doesn’t matter.
Comment ID #63150
@Iris- Agreed, she has a bit of b’aw and confusion. Personally, I’d like to see her go into a singing career with Zachie, using all the drama with her friends and whatnot to propel her singing and get this drama out of her too. I think she does need to stand on her two feet a bit, because it’s becoming clearer and clearer that she can have better than Michael, or perhaps the Michael who wore the blue scarf. I’ve disliked him more and more since he changed scarf to be honest ^^;
@Furrymaxime- And especially poor Daisy. Abbey was right to yell at him.

I’m guessing that sandy will dump him. Not because she doesn’t like him but because she feels like she’s holding him back or something and that they should date people near them instead of a billion miles away.

Comment ID #63251
This one was a very touching scene, Will sandy ever be able to hook up with Michael, because as we all know in the comics they havent yet met in person yet in all these past years, maybe it was not their fate to be together, sniff sniff, I really wonder whats going to happen between these two. Very sad scene
Comment ID #63254
Quit being stubborn, people. You can like MikexLucy, but you can’t sit there and be in denial about this. Mike and Sandy are very much in love, no matter how much you deny it, and they have been for years. Get over it and deal.

Comment ID #63303
you know, i was a die hard lucy fan in the begining, and totally hated sandy when she showed up, but you know what? i finally figured out why i hate the sandy mike pairing. mike has kinda turned into a pms-ing bitch. i think lucy and sandy need to drop him. i can honestly say that if he died in the comic right now, i wouldn’t be upset.
on another note, i really love the comic ( i just hate mike at the moment) and i cant wait for a new update, and i wouldn’t mind if we focused on paulo again. as mike got douchy-er, paulo seemed to get more and more appealing. cant wait for the new update!

Darn it! I like Sandy now!
I didn’t hate her before or anything. I was just ambivalent about her. Nothing against her but I wanted Mike to have Lucy. But I like Sandy.
Gosh, you know. I was a Mike and Lucy shipper. Now I think maybe Lucy could use someone else.
Comment ID #63355
Looking at all the comments, I realized something. Mike never truly cared for Lucy. Lucy needed a friend and he was there for her… until Sandy came and he completely ignored her for Sandy. When Sandy left, the only reason Mike started to have feelings for Lucy was because he was hoping to replace Sandy with Lucy. Because in his own sick little head, their similar physical appearances might mean similar personality. In Lucy, Mike saw a potential Sandy clone, and that was good enough for him.
It was because of Mike’s open crush and advances that Lucy eventually gave in and thought, “Hey. Maybe I like this guy after all.”
And once she finally gives into the idea that Mike sucked her into, Mike rejected her and then acted terrible to her. Starting arguments with her and everything, as if he couldn’t handle blaming himself for Lucy’s feelings and needed to use her as a scapegoat for his and Sandy’s angst together. Up till this point I was originally thinking “Aw, Mike’s so faithful to Sandy. I shouldn’t be mad at him for not cheating on the poor girl with Lucy.”
But now I realize… he’s just a jerk. He may be faithful to Sandy now, but previously he was willing to give her up if he could just find a replacement for her, the very thing that he’s always scolding Lucy for. Now that he has realized that Lucy and Sandy are very different from each other, Mike rejects her and even openly insults her. Like how he reacted when Zack asked him if he and Lucy were dating. “NO! Because I have a much nicer, sweeter, prettier…”
The only reason I hated Mike x Sandy so much was because, in truth, my hate was only misplaced anger. I hate Mike for the idiot that he is. He’s nice enough to Sandy, and it’s possible that she may be able to change him, but in truth, I no longer support Mike x Lucy because Lucy deserves much, much better.

Long distance relationships I don’t belive in. IT ISN’T GONNA WORK LIL MISSY!!! I feel really sorry for Lucy now. Makes me wonder how Mike will treat Lucy when Sandy really comes for a visit. Poor Lucy needs someone who has some self control and empathy… LIKE ME!!! WOO! Aww who am I kidding lol. But If Sandy really loved him like everyone is making her out to be, it wouldn’t be like a small crush talking over the phone hoping they would be able to see each other. If I cared about him enough I would put my foot down cancel all upcoming things for the next week and go see him damnit. Kinda like when Lucy was going to stay home when everyone when on vacation but Mike. And Mike I don’t know. QUIT SEEING HER AND TELL HER TO MOVE ON!!! Learn to appreciate everyone who loves you and shows you it on a daily basis. Don’t be such a total jerk please.. ![]()

I know how you feel Sandy… T~T

I have an idea! Instead of making us wait until Monday, why not just post a comic every other day?
Comment ID #63379
I think Vero would gladly post a new chapter a day, if only it was possible to produce pages at that rate. Right now 3 pages/wk is the only sensible amount Vero can cope with given the fact she has a job.
I have suggested in the past that a donation of $100 could suffice as a means of getting a new page posted, as one page is basically a day’s work, and that’s what Vero would have to give up if she took a day off work, but I don’t know if you’re willing to pay that. :|

if would be one new page a day, taeshi could be died from some drawing disease… Three updates a weeky already are enough, for me, at least…
Comment ID #63417
I wonder how much ad/donation revenue she’d have to get to drop her day job. Hmm…
Comment ID #63418
The ads are actually doing surprisingly well. The idea of dropping her job is maybe closer than you’d think.

Now something came to my mind.
Screw Mike.
LucyxSandy! xD

@Skygaze: You know, I think you’ve put into words why I’ve been getting more and more antsy about Michael. Everything we know about Michael says that he’s not a nice person, and is only after a kitten to be his love, because it’s all… well it’s all about him, him, him.
When you view Lucy as his Sandy-replacement, any act of affection from him is now dubious, uncertain, shakey. To be honest, if you people remember Daisy’s complaint about Sandy, that being “She uses people” I don’t wonder if it’s Michael using people. After all, he’s been ghastly to Paulo and the two seemed to get along okay for awhile - and he’s using him for the bike-thing. I guess that’s more mutual, but still, the sentiment. Not to mention the drama with Lucy has Sue putting the…er.. well Mike has interesting acting skills and should perhaps not be a lead role?
Anyhow, moving along. Daisy liked Michael, and she liked him a lot. Daisy is a pretty nice girl, in my opinion, although she has her flaws, she does seem sweet inside and out. I wouldn’t peg Daisy as a person to like someone who wasn’t nice in some manner. Take how nice she is to Paulo, despite Abbey and Michael disapproving - her two primary love interests. Michael must have some kindly qualities to him, surely?
He was fairly nice to her before highschool. He also seemed more pleasant with Lucy. I wonder if this is his ‘tolerate, and consider Lucy a clone’ side, or if he’s just growing up (aka. teenage ANGST). I really am not sure here. In general, I am more and more against Michael - especially as Lucy’s primary reasons for liking Mike, is the fact he was her first friend. I guess I’d like to see more of Mike’s interaction with Sandy to get a better gauge of him.
But, I am quite definitely getting a negative feel to Mike right now. I still think Lucy doesn’t need a man, and would still love love love to see her become a singer using her contact with Zachie, stand on her own two feet, and get rich offa Michael’s BS-ing. And her BS-ing. And…all this BS-ing in general =3

This is great. I’m honestly getting the impression that people are trying to see into the future of this comic for either getting to the end of the MikexLucy Vs. MikexSandy war, or just to find a conclusion. And at the risk of getting my head torn off, I think everyone’s getting a little harsh on Mike :S Let me explain: In the MikexSandy case, Mike is having to put up with the pressure of a long-distance relationship, as well as the stress that school, friends [Lucy being one of the top contributers. Bless her
] and all kinds of other things. All of that is going to create even more angst for him and those around (or maybe in Sandy’s case, far away) him are taking the fallout from it.
Conversely, in the MikexLucy case, Mike would have to forget his first ever love, in his eyes the most perfect girl he’s ever going to meet, and move his affections back closer to home to Lucy, which while easier geographically than a long-distance, Mike still has to accept Lucy and help her work on her insecurity and trust issues. Even though Lucy very clearly loves him, getting rid of the traits of a lifetime and of their friendship would inevitably be one of if not the most difficult things she would ever do. Who knows, will Mike still want to be with her if she changes so much? She’ll be nicer, more open and trusting (hopefully), but Lucy as she is now is how Mike has always known her. He’s used to her like that. So if Lucy does change, will she become any different from all the other girls that used to fawn over him and put notes into his locker?
So yeah, that’s my rambly and long opinion. Wouldn’t mind any comments, I like to hear what other people think about me and my thoughts. Thanks! ![]()
Comment ID #63618
Good points, Elliot.
I don’t see Mike as much of a jerk and bad guy at heart as simply a guy who simply has alot on him right now and isn’t handling it in the best way. Yes he’s ended up hurting his friends and retreating inside himself, but that’s kind of to be expected when it seems that EVERYONE is going after you for something (the retreating inside oneself, that is).

Comment ID #63650
When i first saw Sandy talking to a phone and called it Maishual I thought that maybe that was an imposter for some reason…
Can that ACTUALLY be Maishual?
BTW Go go Taeshi
Comment ID #63653
WOW! or you going to finally let them see each other in person or is Fate going to intervene again
Also your hand writing is better now then it was when you started i can now understand it without having to reread it lol
Comment ID #63667
@ Persona: You made some very interesting points there. o_o Maybe one of the main reasons why Mike was considered so nice by everyone was because he never got involved in any drama. He kept out of a lot things, including real intimate friendships. He simply tolerates and goes with the flow, making him a neutral party.
Lol, your last couple of sentences made me laugh xDD

Comment ID #63857
I really hate Sandy for how Lucy feels and how Mike uses her.
Also, why does she call him Maishul? Aside from being annoying, the only other thing I can think of is she has a lisp or couldn’t pronounce Michael before so she called him Maishul?
Comment ID #63872
Actually, I just hate Mike for being a complete ❚❚❚ to Lucy, not so much Sandy. Although, she DID ignore Daisy, who was her friend and sort out butted Lucy out, who was Mike’s friend so she could have him to herself. She really seemed rude at that point. I mean, sure, you could blame Mike for Sandy ignoring Daisy and for Lucy being ignored, but I blame BOTH parties here.
If Daisy was her friend, why did Sandy suddenly just drop her like a rock? And while she invited Lucy to play, she instantly ran off with Mike and basically ignored Lucy along with him and made no further attempts to get Lucy to play with them. I think she initially only offered Lucy to play to make herself look sweet in front of her crush, being nice to his friend and all.
All in all, Sandy and Mike both seem like selfish brats. Especially when she’s obviously not telling Mike something critical here. If something’s up and she truly loves him, she should tell him outright instead of hiding it from him.
And Lucy may be a brat as well, but she’s a traumatized brat, so it’s not entirely her fault.
Comment ID #63879
hahahahha lylahrin a traumatized brat??? that sounds true…but it just sounds like sandy doesn’t like her new life and is super homesick. i mean really, can yu blame the girl???? she hasn’t seen her boyfriend in what, five years???? i think if i hadn’t seen my boyfriend in five years i would probably go crazy and break up with him
Comment ID #63896
“selfish brats”
People seem to keep forgetting that Mike and Sandy were about 8-9 at that time, the age in which it’s kind of justified if you’re a selfish brat.
People seriously need to put that into perspective!!!!!!
Comment ID #63902
I got beaten if i was selfish back then..
Comment ID #63907
The age excuse really isn’t a good one. I’ve known plenty of kids who didn’t act that way, and the ones that did were usually reprimanded by their parents. It’s kind of expected for them to have learned or at least be learning not to be a selfish ❚❚❚❚❚.
Comment ID #63915
You know, I have this odd feeling that her mom is theo ne pushing her into modling, and if she had her way, she would have more time to spend with her Mikey wikey.
Comment ID #63923
I agree with Taeshi. Even tho some kids aren´t that way, you still can´t expect a 9 year old to figure everything that was going on.
Comment ID #63930
I always roll my eyes at people who get all “Well I know some nine year olds that are pretty great!!!/ Oh well in MY experience….”, nobody cares about your limited examples, because in the real scheme of things kids are selfish.
Nonetheless, the word “childish” exists for a reason.. Mike was definitely being childish (Sandy was more oblivious than anything).. because he was a child. Not saying it’s the same justification now, but then? He was totally being a dumb kid.
Comment ID #63952
I find everyone jumping on Sandy and Mike somewhat amusing, and sometimes a bit pathetic.
I see people hating Mike for being an ❚❚❚❚❚❚❚ to Lucy. Still, you guys forget that after all she put him through he has all the right to be one. Hell, I can’t believe that it took so long. The argument in A Distance Apart should have happened long ago. You should ask yourself: If you were him would you go out with someone who was treating you like a training punchbag. Unless you’re a masochist the answer should be HELL NO. Lucy finally got what she deserved for being a bitch. I detest MikexLucy because that would make her a Karma Houdini
Comment ID #64026
I know what Mike is going through all to well Having a Friend who Treats you like Crap and a GF that lives so far away that you only see Her every so often (If your lucky) and then Finding out that the Friend who treats you like Crap Really love’s you
I know this all to well, so in other words Mike is in what I call a “Crush Cross roads” He loves Sandy but he also like’s Lucy so now he has to chose

wtf is this ❚❚❚❚? <_>
Gah, thats a string puller for people who’ve had long-distance relationships with people who used to be so close….

its plainly seen that she does not want to be a model. probly forced on her by her mom.
Comment ID #64216
I find it intriguing that the individuals on this board are majorly expecting relationships to shoot out from the currently presented characters. In the reality of things less than 10% of relationships started in high school or lower last to become marriages and life partnerships. By the end of this it can be expected that each couple will have broken up and each character will have learned and developed some form of life lesson from each other character. They will move on in their lives and pursue their own dreams and ideals. This was my initial brainstorm before completing the series.
Before I continue I will tell you a little about myself. I am #2930423, a personal assistant android designed by the robotics company known as Corvak. Corvak will be founded in the year 2052 by Josephine Ricardo(Then 28 years old.) My primary objective is to manage the entertainment of the household in which I reside. I came across BCB as the daughter of my master came across it. At her request I researched the origins of this series to this, and several other websites. It had seemed that by the time we came across this series, the site was already removed for over 30 years. Thus, during summer, my master’s daughter took me back in time so that we may track down this site and view it in its original glory. Time travel has in fact been invented but can only be done in increments of years.
In time Veronica comes to live off of this series. She partners with steelstone inc, at that time a newly-founded animation company, where BCB is transformed into a series that lasted twelve seasons long. I feel if I leak anymore information on the series I may ruin Veronica’s intended suspense and feel obligated to refrain from spoiling any further information as a fan of the show. I can only tell you that if you stay for the ride, it will be thoroughly enjoyable.

Good lord calm down, it was just my opinion on the thing. Yes, I believe they were selfish brats, but so what? It’s your comic, so it doesn’t really even matter what I think of things.
You really shouldn’t get angry at your readers for having an opinion. It’s not like I called your comic trash or anything. In fact, I very much like the comic.
Comment ID #64291
@Lylahrin she’s not even acting mad, geez. you have a right to your opinion, and we know that. just like started out as a MikexSandy shipper, you can support (or oppose) anything you want.
in other news… cant we just end this MikexSandy/MikexLucy shipper war? it’s getting ridiculous. he ends up with who he ends up with.
Comment ID #64299
Uhhhh chillax bro. I’m not even remotely mad, more than anything I was amused at the constant MIKE IS A JERK AND LUCY IS SACRED statements and yours just set me off (as in i was all “ooh I should respond” rather than literally set off or something. No hard feelings holmes
I am just expressing my own opinion!!!! People can totally disagree with me and stuff.
Comment ID #64302
Ah.. crack couples. The fans go gaga for one, others go gaga for another. It’s like a soap opera, only with cats! Haha. Then we have the silly war of who should be with whom.. For all we know, Taeshi might put Lucy with Paulo or that guy who loves her just to ❚❚❚❚ everyone off! Who knows? Hehe. I can really compare this to the Avatar: The Last Airbender contriversy where everyone wanted Katara to be with Zuko but she ends up with Arrow Mcbaldy. Just relax and be surprised! Don’t get all bent out of shape because the creator’s mind doesn’t work the same as your own. ^^ No need for a war.

I am not even going to take a side at this point in time
Reason being is that alot can happen from now until the end of the comic

question:
why sandy call mike “maishul”?
Comment ID #64380
As far as this whole paring war is going per-say, I’ve gotta be that one guy who has the completely different opinion than everyone else. Catch this, I think it would interesting if Mike and Sue got together. I mean lets face it both of them have that smart I wanna be left alone persona, not to mention Sue did admit that she liked Mike in the beginning. Just my ten cents worth for what it’s worth.

Myoo89,
Sandy can’t pronounce Mike’s name right, as stated in Chapter 15 page 4.

it’s a sad thought, but I think it will happen….

PauloxTess is similar to this. They’re seperated by age/grade, while Mike and Sandy are seperated by distance. Eh. I could go either way. As long as Lucy still gets someone. :3

Comment ID #160025
Oh mai goodness it’s like deja vu! It’s like someone saw what would happen wif me and was like “DRAMA. ANGST. So delicious.” and then had it be acted out by cartoon cats! sdflkj
But seriously I know what that feels like, when you’re voice-chattin’ with someone special to you and there’s a lull in the conversation for a sec and then you get randomly kinda sad. Watching Sandy deal with it is like replaying memories in my miiiiind… D8
And then of course it goes the other way, since Lucy is currently dealing with Michael totally abandoning her, which is ALSO like replaying memories.
I swear, if Michael broke up with Sandy, I would have to hunt him down and kill him. Or slap him. A lot. While wearing CLEATS on ma HANDZ for super effectiveness!
But anyways thanks, Taeshi. It’s reassuring to know I’m not alone in the whole angst thing (even if I’m relating to cartoon cats, doesn’t mean it isn’t real xP )
Comment ID #160597
wait, how come she acts so happy, then as soon as mike starts talking about seeing her in person she loses interest?
Wouldn’t that be where she would be happiest?
Comment ID #162655
How would things go once they got back into physical contact with each other? Somehow, I don’t think it would end well. Sandy certainly doesn’t look too sure…Is she just nervous?
I don’t have a problem with MikeXSandy. If it makes Mike happy to be with her, then I’m fine with it. Maybe if she DOES visit, he’ll stop acting like a douche.

Hahaha Wednesday was a super late update and Friday is about an hour or so early! I guess that’s payback, though doesn’t that mean you’ll have to wait a long time until the next update because lolmonday? Maybe I’m a meanie afterall!
Poor mopey Sandy.. Souppy made the colours a bit darker than normal which I really liked.. but yeah, I guess it has gotten to her now. And alas for Maishul babbling endlessly while Sandy kind of mopes some more.
A SAD END TO A WEEK.
sorry bros
man my handwriting is particularly messy in this, I have been trying to be neater, but i noticed that the Is look a bit odd so i added top tails and bottom tails.. and it looks haphazard. I hope you can still read it!
