Whooo! Another Path, PAULOxLUCY ARC! HELL YA, THIS IS GONNA BE AWSOME! I have been waiting for this for so long, this is gonna be kickass!
I wonder how many people will think this is canon even though it’s obvious it is a dream, and Taeshi even said so in her commentary.

Excellent, I’m so glad the name I suggested got used, its too perfect for this little story.
This is a cool setup for the story, Taeshi. I’m so terribly excited!
Comment ID #68569
ahh poor paulo can’t catch a break ![]()
Comment ID #68571
Yay! Another flashback chapter or so I think it is ![]()
EDIT:
Just read the commentary, sort of right
And the BCB Book won’t be available on the launch of the store?

big misunderstanding yeah
freak
Comment ID #68592
=O Ihad a dream that the comic would end and Mike and Sandy were together and Paulo was with Tess and Lucy was with that creepy final fantasy cat!
Comment ID #68593
I’m scared.
Hold me?
Comment ID #68594
Woot! I’m glad you decided to go through with this idea Taeshi.
Comment ID #68595
Was David always that freakishly tall?
Comment ID #68600
Red, david’s a dog, which means hes taller than most cats.
Comment ID #68603
@Red
Yeah. He’s the tallest of the gang. Height reference over here: http://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c51/p3.html
See how he just towers over Lucy ![]()
Comment ID #68613
Ooh, are we gonna see Paulo with Lucy? This is gonna be good.
Comment ID #68614
2 hours? Dangit! I refreshed! I refreshed!
Ah well. YAY PAULO DREAM SEQUENCE! Excite!
Comment ID #68615
Paulo needs to be slapped…..David isn’t helping but he’s a idiot so you can’t slap him.
Comment ID #68616
I never noticed, but David is way taller than Paulo… Wierd…
Comment ID #68617
This would really be interesting.
Things are going to be BOW CHICA BOW WOW.
I should stop watching red vs blue….
Comment ID #68618
awww He has feelings
Comment ID #68622
YES i’ve been waiting for PauloXlucy for ages. Even if its a daydream i’ll take it ![]()
Comment ID #68623
I would ask a few questions here, but I’m sure they will be answered within a few pages.
Also, *perks up* Book 1? As in, purchasable merchandise? Yes! Go Taeshi!
Comment ID #68625
Oh David, keep cheer Paulo up, soon he will do it, soon d^^b two thumbs up for Taeshi

Hmm this IS gonna be interesting . but if this also would have been a valuable incentive story. you’ve dropped a good few spaces on the top webcomics list.
@Gnukko: you can never watch enough red vs blue. NEVER
Especially caboose =)
Comment ID #68628
plus david isn’t as funny as used to be. FIX IT!!!! ![]()
Comment ID #68629
I really like David, but you need to stop using him as such a tormentor to Paulo. I’m suprised that Paulo hasn’t blown up at him yet; in fact, I’m kinda expecting it.
Comment ID #68630
Yay
Comment ID #68631
GOOD FOR PAULO HE KNOWS WHAT HES DOIN
Comment ID #68632
YESSS!
i can NOT wait intill the next pages come out!
WHY DO THEY HAVE TO BE ONE PAGE EVERY 2 DAYS!?
ITS KILLING ME!
>.0
Comment ID #68633
Ok, new page and new adventure. Let’s see…
Comment ID #68634
well anyway…
i think that Paulo wants Lucy but he knows that its wrong..
so he is just pushing her away(not always pushing her away)
so nothing happens.
0.0
i think.. *.*
Comment ID #68637
And so it begins…
Funny that we’re gonna see what Paulo thinks would happen.
Comment ID #68638
Stupid David. It’s like he thinks you can only have a relationship with a girl if you have sex with them. xP Paulo needs to yell at him.
Comment ID #68640
Wow the only times we’ve even seen the main charactors in be last month or so are at he end of Paulo’s player arc, and Mikes voic in the sandy filler, so all I’m saying is that if this wasn’t such a god comic I would be ❚❚❚❚❚❚ off.
Comment ID #68645
Excellent.
Comment ID #68650
Are we going to see what would’ve happened if they DID do it?! WEEE so much fun! I LOVE alternate demensions. Ooo-OOO-ooh…lol ![]()
Comment ID #68651
Second-to-last panel: is Paulo angry or thoughtful?
Comment ID #68663
@ Kikren: He’s still irritated at David, but seems to slowly be sinking into his own thoughts.
Comment ID #68664
Will chapter 60 be about Augustus’s gang? I got a gut feeling it is!
Also 25 PAGES? NOOOO
Also AUGUST? AUGUST?!?! NOOOOOO!!!!!
Comment ID #68666
Well, I think I see Paulo blushing a bit in the last panel so maybe there are some residual feelings for Lucy.
Also, I really want to punch David lol. Maybe the reason he is on Paulo’s case all the time to sleep with a bunch of girls is because he is insecure with his own sexuality? I dunno just a thought.
At least Paulo is being a bit more stern with David in this page then I have seen before. Maybe his encounters with Jasmine and the recent argument knocked some sense into him.
Comment ID #68667
Good man-cat, Paulo. Keep using that better judgement.
Comment ID #68668
Honestly, I think this is a really cool idea 8D I wanna see what ‘happens!’
Comment ID #68673
Awwww…you should have left it ambiguous, like Donny Darko.
….minus the creepy rabbit suit of course.
Comment ID #68682
Goodness me, now David has a more dickish attitude than even Paulo, i never thought i’d see the day

@Somedude: Chapter 60: Meet the Boss.
LOLOLOLOL

FLASH BACK TIME!!! X3

Why do I get the feeling David’s way smarter then he acts?….
And is it just me, or does it seem like-Nevermind. I am going to keep it to myself.
Comment ID #68702
Day dream yeah!!
Comment ID #68704
What is he thinking …. ![]()
Comment ID #68706
So many things to look forward to here~! Needless to say, I want that book. ![]()
Comment ID #68708
So..Paulo DIDN’T @#$% those girls?…I’d kinda believe it, Paulo may be a bit of a jerk and a wannabe ladies man but deep down he’s a good guy. Also it’s likely to believe those girls would lie about Paulo just to mess with Tess…..I never remembered high school kids to be so scheming. Mean, yes, but not like “diabolical planning” mean.
Comment ID #68711
David grew. o_o
Comment ID #68712
this is going to awesome!
Comment ID #68717
Mistervale: The timeline of this daydream is BEFORE Paulo screws those girls. It’s meant to take place before the page where he’s walking through the hallway very angry thinking “stupid david grrr grrr”
THIS MEANS HE HAS NOT MET JASMINE.
SO NO BANGING RACHEL AND JESS YET
NO JASMINE
he is still single
Comment ID #68735
omg O__O taeshi if your reeding this when well the bittersweetcandybowl store well be open i cant wait any more plez open it im just 9 years old tell me when well it be open plz tell me
Comment ID #68773
meow. Idk what to say
Comment ID #68778
*sigh* why did you have to make such an awesome suspenseful comic? it’s killing me to know! I’m still for MikexSandy, but there’s still someone not introduced yet i can feel it!
Comment ID #68779
KITTEN ATTACK! *rowr!*
On a serious note: Well, this should be fun.
Comment ID #68801
i think David is the real evil master mind in this story and not final fantasy cat, and he’s trying to sabotage Paulo first.
Comment ID #68810
eh finaly chapter 59 page 1 ive been waiting for this whole day.
Awesome stuff in the beggining
Comment ID #68813
I really think that David should have his chapter soon. I want to see how his stalking is doing.
Comment ID #68820
Mike is such a ❚❚❚❚❚❚❚❚❚, Mike x Lucy ftw!
Comment ID #68821
mannnn i wish the rest of the chapter wwas here xP
Comment ID #68824
SHUT UP DAVID. But he could of done em both
Comment ID #68829
@ random_bypasser: Gosh, you’re right. He’s not so innocent anymore, he’s become quite the perv.
Comment ID #68830
So whats Paulo’s dirty little mind gonna come up with now?
Comment ID #68834
So, we have a comic about Paulo’s daydream about screwing Lucy, and yet, I’m more mesmerised by the fact that David looks funny when he walks in the last panel.
Excellent.
Comment ID #68837
I LOVE PAULO
so……. if he and lucy became a couple i would LOVE IT
however with all the drama going on, i doubt they would last long and then their breakup would make me cry
and at the moment i don’t think their characters suit each other enough to get into a long lasting relationship
but who knows?
maybe with some drastic personality changes (i know that they’re both already starting to change) this just might work
Comment ID #68840
Has David always been that tall?
Comment ID #68844
Haha! I love the way David’s tail shakes as he walks and whistles xD It looks so funny and I love the way David’s all “what a nice day” and because of his trash talking Paulo got a bit sad
Comment ID #68847
pretty cool idea
Comment ID #68854
i love this comic but i h8 waitin 4 it lol but i have 2 say it is worthit
n this new chapter should b interesting ….
Comment ID #68858
Aaaannnd, back to the relative normalcy of David and Paulo. Better yet, it’s gonna be a non-canon thing about Paulo and Lucy, which is my favorite couple that probably will not happen. ![]()
Comment ID #68859
Odd….David has had a growth spirt! Uless I’m crazy and he has allways been that tall….x3 *points to name thingy* Yay! Random cat face thingy!!

Comment ID #68918
david’s climbing the invisible staircase
Comment ID #68923
I had hoped that we were taking a brake from pauloxlucy angst for a while now. But I guess once the angst train starts moving, it just keeps on going, and going, and moving till the (hopefully) reasonably happy ending
Comment ID #68977
Wait, wait, wait, wait, wait……
WHEN WAS PAULO A CAT?!?!?!
THIS WHOLE TIME I THOUGHT HE WAS A FOX!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
T_T some fangirl I am… D’:
Comment ID #68988
I know they just started a new round of voting but man BCB fell fast. (Yes I voted)
Comment ID #69077
I think Paulo would be in extreme danger of using personal growth to become boring if David wasn’t around
Comment ID #69109
@ FanGirl OMG
I no rite, he looks so much like a fox xD
But yeah, he’s a cat. A Somalian, which is the longhaired version of an Abbyssinian. I enjoy looking at the little similarities between Paulo and Abbey ^^

BCB just shot down to #15 on TWC

ANOTHER FILLER ARC
AHAHAHAHAHA I AM SOOOOOOOO WITTYKAWAIDESUUUU
Comment ID #69135
I’m not ashamed to say it’s another filler arc, which is why it was initially an incentive ![]()
Comment ID #69138
err… how to make some emo?
Comment ID #69147
You know 4chan started as just an imageboard but anyway I always thought of David as more of a Brah dude not a Dude dude.
Comment ID #69194
David is definitely a brah dude. And remind me why you brought 4chan into this?
Comment ID #69195
I’m wondering just what things will end up going wrong.
Comment ID #69235
David, shut up. Go back to being your cute, annoying, yet lovable self.
Comment ID #69236
Oh lawdy, why do I sense a foreboadingnessuses in this?
Oh wait, no. Thats me.
I have gas.
Still though, filler arcs don’t bug me much. I’m waiting for the play they are going to have. Something tells me that will be quite an interesting chapter.

Why has it taken this long for some people to notice David’s a ❚❚❚❚❚❚❚? He was my favorite character, but I think he’s kinda obsessed with sex…more than Paulo.

i agree with kenny david is pretty much a ❚❚❚❚❚❚❚ no changing him

yay!, david actually has a personality now =D
Comment ID #69354
@SkylineFaux: Thanks for the links! I don’t forum-lurk in general, so it’s nice to see what I’m missing!
@Skygaze: “long-haired version of Abyssinian” … What. Okay, other than that, what similarities do you see between them, because I’m pretty sure both would be miffed at even a hint of similarity.

NOOOOOO!
Comment ID #69497
Okay, I don’t remember who had asked me what similarities I saw between Paulo and Abbey ^^” I had made a reply, but then my laptop died before it got through, so I’m just going to repeat it again.
First off, they both have dark-ish fur (deep orange, brown), white markings (also, both of them have white chests and bellies), and at least parts of their hair are darker than the rest of their fur (Abbey’s hair is darker, Paulo has dark tips)
Plus, Paulo’s ears can seem a little big at times. Not as big as Abbey’s, though.
Comment ID #69529
hahaha….well nom won….cuz my internet turned off
Comment ID #69950
*in reference to my previous post*
The reason why I started looking at Abbey and Paulo’s similarities in the first place is because Abbey is an Abbyssinian, and Paulo is a Somalian, which is the longhaired version of the Abbyssinian =D

I love this series, but…..wtf is going on here, i thought they didnt do anything htat night, thats why lucy was all like WTF when she found out that paulo slept with the two other girls.

They didn’t do anything that night. Taeshi even said that this is only a daydream of what could have been, nothing more.

I freaking LOVE this webcomic!! I showed my friend who said I was sad for reading a comic about highschool cats. She is no longer my friend, but they say the broken bones in her face will heal eventually.
PauloxLucy ftw!! …. but I still have a soft spot for MikexLucy…. eh well, either one will make me happy!
~~~~~~ <<< that is my happy drooly face for my love of this webcomic
Comment ID #109004
((((((((((
I went through and read all the comics in 2 days up until this one. Then I came to it.
Sigh.
So sad. And so depressing. To think Paulo and Lucy could have been something with such a happy ending…
I’M SO SAD OMG WHY DID THE COMIC HAVE TO END HERE NOW I HAVE TO WAIT FOREVER FOR UPDATES
((((((((((((((((((

Comment ID #145337
Wow, wait, what? I just noticed something, David has become less of a moron, but is turning into a horrible influence…
Comment ID #145460
Oh wow. I just realized how tall David is. Either that or Paulo’s really short.
Comment ID #146187
so if paulo is the average, then david is pretty tall.
because, i’m really short and my friend is really tall and the size relation is about the same.
well, ❚❚❚❚.
@Ted: everyone grows up
Comment ID #146941
Given Lucy’s obvious state of mind that night, yes it would have been a horrible mistake. However, if she propositions Paulo whilst in a saner frame of mind he should totally go for it. Although he’s dating that freshman gal now, so… wow, David’s right. That ship has sailed. Might come back to port someday, but not anytime in the immediate future.
Comment ID #147575
dear god you writer give paulo another chance with lucy
sincerely david
lol
Comment ID #162687
And here is the darkest chapter in Bittersweet Candy Bowl history. The one that has the best story and the best couple, LucyXPaulo, but is sadly not canon. NOT ❚❚❚❚ING CANON. ![]()
I’m so sad. If you meant to have this be an alternate history, then clearly you DON’T want LucyXPaulo to happen at the end of BCB, because why else would you go through the trouble of having this chapter exist?
That just depresses the ❚❚❚❚ out of me, to know that my favorite couple is now definitely not going to happen. ![]()
But I won’t let that ruin everything. I’ll enjoy the chapter to it’s fullest, even if it means nothing by the end.
Plus, I’m still crossing my fingers hoping that they’ll go out in canon-time at some point. There’s plenty of time between now and 2013, right? Even if it’s just a brief fling I’ll still be happy with it. Just as long as it happens…Pretty please?

This is my favorite chapter EVER. And not because of the sex. Just because it’s an amazing chapter.
Comment ID #181051
My dumb David ish getting too smart..
Comment ID #181114
It wouldn’t have just been a mistake.
It would have been the kind of mistake they make afterschool specials about.
Or am I being terribly naive?

Look familiar?
Hey guys, sorry for the relatively mild delay! I was, um, tagging images on Candybooru, our brand new imageboard thing that you can post fanart and edits and other BCB miscellany to. It will soon replace the fanart and official art sections of the Extras page!
Anyway, for those that thought Sandy’s comic was a filler, hahahaha. Prepare to be disappointed by this one. Be warned, the quality in the next bunch of pages isn’t going to be as good as the regular type (as above). I began this chapter as a Top Webcomics incentive but decided to make it a real one because I couldn’t help but put a lot of effort into making it. Also, I came to like the story too much.
There is a benefit to you guys, though, because doing this chapter with less complex shading\colouring meant that I could dedicate the next two months to working on the very complicated and detailed chapter 60 as well as special content for the BCB Volume 1 book.
And for those of you that need to be spoonfed, yes, this comic is going to be about a daydream taking place in Paulo’s mind.
