Bittersweet Candy Bowl

Oh, man, what a jerk. Also, happy comic anniversary! I look forward to another great year!

Lol didn’t see that one coming.  And when did ****** die again?

Bahahaha!
I’m just waiting for Carson to come back to find the now limp body that can’t fight back

Oh damn mike over dose

MIKE! NOOOOOOO!

HES DEAD!! O

Whew, atleast they’re only sleeping pills~

Also, congrats on the editing thing~ That’s awesome!!

love you too <3

I want that guy’s shirt.

…At least we know he’s not dead…

We all know what happens now. Now that Mike is dead, Sandy will have to sacrifice herself to save Mike, then Lieselotte can chant as she curls into a ball and sobs “It’s all my fault.” over and over again

WHARF! xD lol

Hey infernofox you are a wierdo as I am telling you on skype you strange (cheating) fellow

He is dead. You must revive him with a kiss Lucy!

Lucy knows CPR … lucky mike…

Awwww Jasmine looks so concerned! And then disgusted, I mean I guess I would be disgusted by a zombie table cloth as well….

Oh, best lines in a comic ever.

WORST HALLOWEEN EVER!
for Mike…

I really like the designs in the menus like the extras and archives

you pans my grand mother takes a handful then goes and gets groceries

Wharf wharf wharf.

@nick if i was gonna cheat i would use a program to type the comment for me and send it to the future page’s database before this page was public.

Typing “haha” then editing my post is not cheating its stratagy :3

@lovedBold: hahaha lucy will go in a lake before doing that.

Oh Mike, we wish we got to know you more. HEY, BETTER THEN FALLING OFF A CLIFF AMIRIGHT : D … … : D to soon?

LOL

now its time to beat a creep! : D

Happy Anniversary!!!

true to shakespeare’s philosophy…you ain’t dead ‘til you say so >:P

Mike has dead…it’s funny cuz he’s a cat!

Mike may fall, but the rest are there.

Happy anniversary. I hope this can go on and on and on.

And maybe Mike, but that won’t be the first time that we see you totally high…

now, time to mike turn into a zombie and eat their brains….would be nice…

quick make him puke, either high salt water or preform Heimlich maneuver

Congratulations on such a successful year Taeshi, keep up the awesome work. The same goes to you SuitCase for keeping everything running smoothly. Here’s to the continuation of the BCB Empire.

;)

Mike! …wait… HE CAN’T TALK IF HE IS DEAD!!! Liar liar liar cheater liar liar!!! On another note, GO YASHY FOR TELLING THAT LIAR OFF! <== GO DAVID!!

Bill is my new favorite character.
… Is it strange that my mind is now automatically shipping Bill with every female character (and Carson)?

congats.

I’m also N

@Rachel: Erm… Just sleeping pills? Take more than a few and you’re deader than a doornail…

Mike, you aren’t very convincing.

I am dead.

Tripping balls Mike, tripping balls.

I haven’t heard of triangular sleeping pills before.

sadly, i cant vote, but i still want candy, but im broke, and my parents consider “furrys or human like animals” unaceptable in the house, so sad i shall be
sincerly, the wii anonymous.

*pokes with a stick* yeah he is dead u_u *sniffs* it smells like… REVENGE!! go Paulo take revenge on that guy :o
And hurray for BCB’s anniversary :awesomeface:

She’s actually showing… …concern?

yay for consistant updates

heh pescription strength pillz are triangular, and good job on pannel 8

Lulz sleeping pillz

Aw crap, now Lucy has to have another meltdown again.
Drama drama drama drama.
And we wouldn’t have it any other way. :3

This serie needs more drama !!

I don’t know… maybe a

Sue x Mike… and lucy start hating sue…
or
Mike x Jasmine… and Paulo start hating Mike…

or Paulo x Daisy…

You know ! Like those stupid friends series

He is dead

ah mike your wit seems to impress me as the comic get updated

You are dead! Dead! Dead! You are dead! Dead! Dead!
youtube.com/watch?v=xgn1eHG_lr8
The first thing that came to mind when Mike spoke in the last panel.

Haha this world never ceaces to amaze me sigh

……… WTF!!!!

TENTACLE CAT GOING DOWN WATCH OUT XP~
Thank you for the update~!!!
AND GREAT WORK :3

… well Lucy, time for the seducin’ haha but no that guy’s a jerk i hear?

GRATS ON A YEAR OF SUCCESSFULLY UPDATING THREE DAYS A WEEK
I love that shirt

lead paint?

A few things:
1) How does Sue know what sleeping tablets smell/taste like?
2) Mike’s line completely ruins the drama. Rapidly shifting between drama and humor like that is just jarring.
3) I also would like to own that shirt.

Lol. Mike is funny when under the influence of things. Also, how Sue would know? Her and Daisy are geniuses.

LOL.
Poor mike

Here I give you candied WhAMS,
for a jerk, yessir, a jerk I am.

*Ran dies*

Happy anniversary-of-keeping-a-constant-update-schedule day to you! So many things have happened for the comic in that time, I’m sure a forum topic could be created about it.
In recent history: the creation of character faces in place of certain emoticons , the “girl post” feature, and the opening of the store.

“I’m dead.”

Mike is Scout!

Also, Sue is amazing. I guess her Emma Skye costume enhances her powers of scientific deduction.

GET HIM SOME IPECAC YOU STUPID *****. >8|

Or let him die right in front of “I’m so vulnerable to everything” Lucy. I couldn’t care less.

is he a ermm..whats the word… American curl cat?

Overdose ;-;

Why di I have a feeling Lucy is about to exact vengeance on jerkcat?

They shoulds seriousely call an ambulance… like, right now. I’m willing to bet that mike took far more than the safe dose. They should call the police while they’re at it, too. The guy’s bound to have tons of boxes of sleeping pills stashed around, some already painted. He no doubt handled them, so there would be fingerprints, not to mention the testimony of the rest of the cast as to where the ones they were given came from. I don’t think there’d be much question that Bill would be put away for a long time. Could be counted as attempted murder at best, and actual murder at worst. Multiple counts depending on how much he’d already done it.

Then again I don’t think this is meant to be ‘serious business’, so everyone could just turn out fine and be on their merry way. Either way works.

…Anyway! Happy 1st-anniversery-of-constant-updates!

AND CTHULHU CAT IS DOOOOOOOOWWWNN

G-guhh-

8u~~~

Well, sucks for him. Anyway, hooray for constant updates or a full year!

I see 1 of 3 things happening-

1 -> somebody (probably Sue or Lucy) goes back up to the door, rings the bell, and kicks Bill’s butt
2 -> Cthulhu cat gets medical assistance
3 -> Mike dies and Paulo steals the rest of his candy

This page
Is my favorite page
Ever

How does Sue know it’s just sleeping pills?
hum… guess you can’t underestimate cat’s senses either.

F**kin luv the last pic “i am dead”

cant blame mike for eatin them so fast…. Candy Corn is good

Poor Mike eating pillz and overdosing…
Again Lucy chance to do whatever she wants cause he drugged… >XD

i’m upset.
i want free BCB candy. But i’m 13.
i cant vote.

Don’t do drugs kids.

Geez, this isn’t Left 4 Dead, Lucy.


… PILLS HERE!

Jerk rules!!!

Woah, how are the pills shaped like triangles?
I only found stupid circles…

oops, my prediction was wrong

LOL Hilarious! I love Lucy’s face in the last panel, and Mike’s face as well.

Well who knows if Thulu’ was alive in the first play anyway?

The dead speak!

Happy Anniversary Dear BCB!!!

OH NOES! Maishul is dead! What do we do!

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY!!!!

lol Yashy, she makes me giggle.

Who eats candy corn that wasn’t even put in a bag?
I guess Michael.

Must have a “I am a Jerk” T-Shirt…

I wonder where does Bill gets that shirt at? Its a “must-have”!

In other news, it looks like they’ll have to bring Mike to whoever’s place was closest and Carson would sneak in to have Mike all to himself >:3!

why is it always mike that gets drugged?

You’ve been writing the same characters since you were EIGHT?! Wow! Wish I had that kind of attention span… or do I? Nah - I probably don’t WISH it… But I do admire it. Because attention spans are like… um… butterflies or something…

Also, congrats on the anniversary of uninterrupted updating! I know how difficult that can be. Good work!

Because Mike never thinks before he acts. Which is kinda sad…… But funny all at the same time!!!!! :awesomeface:

Channel Polonius Mike, go!

I want that t-shirt too xD It’s awesome ^^
And, congratulations with the anniversary
It’s kinda.. poor Mike, you *dead* idiot!

They should leave him, he’ll wake up sooner or later right…right? ^.^;

Not with an overdose like that…

Someone needs to grab some bleech, and mix it with water, force him to drink it so he throws up the tablets… >.

Ya gotta be a jerk to make time to paint pills into candy corn.

Mike:“I am dead”… Lucy: *PUNT* (:

Aaw, I love how Yashy actually looks concerned on the 7th panel. He’s pulling a “take my hand, it’ll be okay.” Can’t wait to see where this chapter goes from here!

A friend of mine tried to kill herself with sleeping pills overdose once. It didn’t work, thankfully. She got taken to the hospital, but pretty much just slept it off for a day and a half or so.

That is NOT funny! He could have over-dosed poor Mike.

it’s fun being a jerk
It is!!!!! >:)

yes, yes u are 8D

@Cody He DID overdose Mike

Jerk! But it IS fun.. sometimes. :’D
Poor Mike.

I wonder if Lucy will dramatically save him and then Mike will see how much she really loves him.
Or maybe he’ll just die like Carson. One can always hope.

I thought sleeping tablets had no smell…

Someone should probably take Mike to get his stomach pumped…..

Or just leave him there to die

You are dead ? Well thanks for the information. I wouldn’t have noticed it without your help.

…

I want one of these shirts as well.

Ah yeah. Congrats for the anniversary. *throws confetti*

@johnnyBUZZ :”… Or maybe he’ll just die like Carson. One can always hope.”

Why am i blanking on “die like Carson”? Who is Carson? When did he die in the story-line? Chapter-page please? Seriously don’t recall … feels silly …

happy birthday bcb

only a princes kiss can wake someone from such a deep slumber
(come back carter… we need you)

MikexLucy and PauloxLucy are my favorite ships, so I can’t hate Mike enough to want him dead. Still, karma much?

there is nothing better than a good sleep after an exciting Halloween :p

Everybody take a close look, this is the only time you’re going to see Yashy looking concerned…

Congrats on the anniversary!

(Wharf? I feel like this is going to be the next meme…)

Mike’s trippin on sleeping pills. Somehow I feel no sympathy.

He’ll be fine. The story would downright SUCK if mike or any of the group died.

This Bill guy has managed to do something no character ever written has ever done… bring down a Lovecraft Deity without going insane or suffering a horrible death in the process.

Kudos!

****en sleeping pills, how do they work?

Poor Mike! … he fell in drugs again. why him had all the bad luck? =O

Congratulation to your anniversary!!! Have a nice day, Taeshi, and go on with this fabulous comic!!!

FLEA’S TRIPPIN’! lmfaooo

Mike just seems to have a habit of eating things he shouldn’t. First chocolates, now sleeping pills/candy corn. That’s why I stopped eating the things a while ago, they’re just gross - sleeping pills or not.

Happy anniversary! hilarius comic

You Got to be flipping kidding LMAO I did not see tht coming

well you look dead mike

Taeshi: While advertising attracts new readers to a comic, the key to retaining those readers is to update regularly, as you’ve done over the past year. I really can’t stress the importance of this enough for any comic that aims to be successful. Fans love regular updates at specified times, because it makes it easier for them to follow a comic and check back when necessary. And speaking personally, I’ve dropped comics from my reading list before because they stopped updating regularly.

Congratulations on a year of regular BCB updates. Keep it going!

Well….
guess he’s dead.
Do you know what that means?
I was right when I commented last page!
Taishi did ship mike.

can’t say anything cause of the ‘trick’ part of “trick or treat”ing

still fun, but better with paintballs (frozen optional) and a ghille suit

Congratulations on your anniversary !!
i hope that you will continue the remarkable and exquisite work.
i have to admit that this comics have changed my a lot with it exciting plot of love, thrill, and an unending laughter!!
And the special thing about you that you keep updating on the promised date, and with fabulous drawing witch is hard to make in a short while! So don’t you ever lose your quality nor your sense of humor.
And thanks a lot!!!

oh ya Congratulations ON tHE ANNIVERSARY

Sue: They are sleeping tablets!
a few seconds later…
Lucy: Why did you eat those candies?

Lucy rejects Sue’s reality and substitutes her own. (pointless reference, yet oh so true)

Great game… I mean prank Bill. (this reference is also pointless and makes no sense to anyone with sanity)

Is it me or is the line “I am dead.” a reference to the resident evil game over screen message, “You are dead”.

I’ve only been reading for a couple weeks (new fan! ^_^), but congratulations, Taeshi, on a smooth year of regular updates! Best wishes for the years to come - I will continue reading and voting for BCB, and I look forward to supporting you in the future!

Congrats on updating more consistently than any other webcomic I know. I know your readers (myself included) all appreciate it. Happy Anniversary!

Also, Mike is dumb. That is all.

I love Mike! Sure, he is being dumb right now, but soon he will realize he is dumb and will change!

*laughs hysterically at the final panel* the joke it is subtle, but dammit if its not hilarious

ROFL Mike does not look well.

it looks like Mike has rabbies x.x

lovin the ‘im a jerk’ shirt

Gyahaha. Mike, save some for when Sue punches you too hard in the face for eating those. X3

Whatta jerk!
Poor Mike, but still that was pretty dumb of him.
Also happy “updating three days a week year” thing! c:

AHAHAH

“I am dead” sounds like something me friend would do. OH, MY FRIENDS AND THEIR SHENANIGANS.

xD Oh WOW. I mean, I LOVE candy corn, but eating them when you know they weren’t wrapped was just dumb. Sorry, Mike, but that WAS dumb.

Now go to sleep.

Happy Aniversery!

He’s clearly not dead. But that’s the second time he’s eaten a whole bunch of small ppill-shaped things, you’d think he’d have learnt by now.

He forgot to say hurg-blarg.

I hope Mike doesn’t actually die, but it was an honest mistake they really sometimes look like candy corn

Lols Mike looks like hes just going to barf on everyone

Yay congrats let’s have a party!!!

**** he did OD

Some would suspect copy-and-paste, but we all know better. =P

So this is how Taeshi visualizes me. And years before she even knew me apparently. ;D

I am imprinted on your very souls.

“Flea’s trippin!”
DANG that’s fun to say.

I dunno about you guys, but I like Mike’s dead face.

HOLY **** IM TRIPPIN BAWLS HERE!

if only i had seen this offer before my mom went to vote >.> like seriously missed it by 5 minutes yesterday.


i think this is the best webcomic in the fact that it updates so often.

Good I thought those were something esle O o >:| I’m a dork

i’m sure one of them is thinking. “huh… we should have suspected something when his shirt said -I’m a jerk-” nice though. haha at least he’s not dying. just getting sleepy.

oh but then again… downing alot of sleeping pills can be fatal.
we can’t forget who died like that recently: Heath Ledger.

and no i did not say that for comedic purposes, I’m just bringing it up.

Crap, seriously? That’s some badass determination there, posting comics punctually and stuff. (I need better time management)

Unrelated to the comic,
Dammit. Couldn’t get a picture of the place my parents voted at. Do sketches of the place count?
If not, then dammit. Kiss goodbye to free candy.

that shirt is awesome
and at least Mike isn’t going to die, just become a little drowsy.

I can’t get a picture of the place my parents voted at—if they even voted. D8
crap, sorry.

HE STARTS SCREAMING…

then it gets real quiet.

panel 4: epic facee xD

What I miss?

quick lucy do what you do best! *falcon paucnnchhhh~!*

“I am a jerk”. I should get that on a t-shirt!

@Calm Observer The explaination to your question is a boring one so I apologize in advance. I don’t know how they all work but I do know that some sleeping pills are filled with melatonin, a drug your mind creates when it no longer senses light to make you sleepier. The drug in the pills is concentrated so that they work quickly and usually cause you to skip the first few stages of sleep and jump straight to stage 3 or 4. If you OD on sleep pills it pretty much makes you sleep then you transition into a coma where your lungs and heart stop working and you die. Boring yes, I know.

On a different topic: Sleeep Mike! Sleeeeeeep!!, Sleeeeeeeeeep!!!!
And then Lucy gave him CPR and mouth to mouth and he was perfectly fine.

0-0

I take offense, my name is Bill

Mike NOOOOOZ
*slaps* Wake up damn you ! Don’t die on me now! Not after a year of regular updates! I won’t let you! *Tries to revive*………………..

I require a shirt like that.

Could someone attempt to make mike throw up the pills, or are they already dissolved?
Also, I’ve never seen medication take effect that fast.

Uh, no you’re not. You’ve just been tranqued, grogginess should pass.

it’s at this point that Lucy rape’s Mike

So… What awkward thing will he say in his semi conscious state, do you think?

Damn, if he ate sleeping pills/candy by the handful like I do he would be “asleep for a while”.

Also, glad to see Sue being awesome. She is a great character!

LUCY GET AWAY FROM MIKE YOU MONSTER! >=(

raepraepraep

also, I like candy corn…

Ima Trippin!

Mike is an idiot…..my friend actually did something like that on Halloween…..not fun

GOD MIKE! I thought u were cool. NO ONE who likes candycorn can be cool. Today i lied about being sick and i stood home from school. BEST DAY EVAR!

Lucy, while he’s asleep bang him and make him love you.

^ thats it susan you know the deal

I am dead, rvb?

haha some comedy worked into a tradgedy. i love it!

“the second time he’s eaten a whole bunch of small ppill-shaped things, ” w8 , when was the first time?

zero@ on comfrontation

mike…you idiot..

Well I lost my bet… it’s sleeping tablets… I was sure hoping for Mike to have a belly full of fizzy candies.

Oh god, the panel with the jerk made me burst out laughing.

You wouldve thought the shirt would give him off.

Mmm, free candy… Oh wait. (passes out)

hmph..he is a jerk..
XD

jerk.

guys think. they are not triangular pills, the guy cut them that way

Oh just kiss him already

….i am dead

Candy that turns out to be sleeping pills, a bittersweet scenario if I ever saw one. lol

Take the red pill or the blue pill.

well now THATS a good way to get rid of a character.

i agree w/infernofox @ the top: it would be kick-butt awesome to have a t that said “i am a jerk”


BCB is also kick-but awesome!!

Funny! I so love your comics! <(^.^)>

they all get arrested end of story now i can sleep…….right?

Is it weird that this page reminded me of Scott Pilgrim?

Is it wierd that as soon as mike ate the pills, he looked like he had rabies?

It’s drool. A lot of it. :v

lol! did he cut them to look like candy corn i wonder if he noticed an off texture when he was eating them lol…. poor guy “am i dead?”

When I read the Jerk’s text, I can’t help but hear Aku’s voice (from Samurai Jack-anyone remember that show?): “HAA-HAA-HAA!! FOOOLISH CAT! YOOUU HAVE EATEN MY CANDY OF SUPREEEEM EEEVIL!! HAA-HAA-HAA!!”

you should be dead mike. Dead from the disapointment of never getting a sandwich from any of your lady friends. I am so sorry mike, but one day you’ll get your sandwich

DETECTIVE EMA SKYE! ON THE CASE!

Wharf? …Never heard that one before. Wolf, yeah, but wharf? …Wiggy bit of regionalism, that.

Lol. Got owned by a certified Jerk.

Ha I wrote something like that for a creative writing assignment. Also Mikie has to learn you don’t take candy from strangers,this is what the third time?

How’d he get his hands on perscription strength sleeping pills? (they’re the triangular ones you know

FLEA’S TRIPIN’

mike = caboose

JERK FTW !

i want that ”i am a jerk” shirt

I am dead.

friggin Mike, just die already.

one holloween i got a giant candy corn that was unwrapped on the way home i was talkin about how i couldnt wai tto eat it.. mom took it

I am dead.
*takes a step back*
Very VERY dead.
*runs away*

You are dead…Is not big surprise…

Why would the jerk go through so much effort to paint the designs on numerous sleeping pills to make them look like candy corn? Does he HAVE a life? And news flash: sleeping pills and candy corn aren’t the same shape as one another.

lol, ive done that before, just hurt myself or trip or some thing and lie there saying im dead

If Yashy were awake, she would be saying “You’re a *****, Bill!” lol Everyone loves Yashy!

Jerk.

jerk cat is being a jerk.

Who the hell makes candy corn shaped sleeping tablets?

Oh, and yeah. Jerk Cat must die.

I know, make him eat his own “candy corn” then throw him down into the bit with Carson. That will show him.

why is mike always getting drunk/high? he needs to watch himself or else sandy wont want his strung out ***

Our scientist is on the case!

Attempted murder is a fun joke.

any nptice that the jerk looks liks mike

“I am dead”
LOL

‘I am dead.’

Love the costume, Mike. Complete with whipped cream and green paint. Wait… That is a costume, right?

Talking corpse! What next?

where can i go to read the classic bcb comics you keep talking about

OMG! IT’S DAN! FROM DAN vs. FiM !!!!!LAWL! CAMEO! OMG OMG OMG! HE HAS A JERK SHIRT ON TOO!

OMG HIS SHIRT. ITS DAN.

2 best quotes ever, “Its fun being a jerk” and “I am Dead”
