Bittersweet Candy Bowl

Oh man, I am totally voting for Jazzy! Paulo’s statements cannot be beaten, Jasmine is totally awsome already, while I find it hard to believe, I guess she will be more awsome when she wins!

Also, I found the cameo first! Noticed Melody almost right off the bat, went over the heads of everyone else in IRC, hehehe. Wasn’t quite sure it was her, but Space seemed to be rather happy when I mentioned it :3

When did Jasmine get a dress :o

OH MY GOD MELODY’S THERE AAAAAAHHHHH <3 <3 <3 <3

Gosh poor Sue.

Yes, McCain in back and better then ev-SHUT IT McCAIN!

well s***. anyways funny and awesome as always.

Awwwww snap!

Shut IT McCain Lol

RIVALRY >:D

McCain scares Jazz

Is that Melody in panel 3?

I love the way they interact with each other.

Jasmin could have a great awesome face in panel 3

D’aww, poor heartbroken Jasmine. She just wants all the kids to be fat and lazy.

I lov BCB :3

McCain FTW

McCain is a really good….what’s the word, demoralizer for jazzy….or sumtin long those lines

OMG it’s Melody.

This is why I love McCain

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh come on !!!

Jasmine is not that idiot ¬_¬ !!

Arg…

Jasmine with stupid ideas powered by Paulo… bad plot move ¬¬

Sue eye-beaming Jasmine… good plot move ^^

Oh, so Jasmine DID wear a dress from the last page.
Wait, what was Paulo doing when Jasmine changed?

i was goddamn sure jazz was a populist!

Another success with McCain tring to sound logical and everyone shutting him down.

So does this mean Jasmine has been demoted from a major character again?

iiiiiiiiiiii vote for sue.

Jasmine is so much better for Paulo. She’s like a positive reinforcement in furthering his character development. Whereas Tess and Lucy are always wah wah wah….

:|

That sounds allot like my platform for student council was back when I was in grade 4.

Maybe McCain would win the election… ;-;
WOO! GO MCCAIN!!

I swear if Jazzy Jazz got demoted from a Main Story Char. *shakes fist and puts on his rage face*

hahaha~ wat?

I thought I recognized that cat, it’s Melody!
For people who don’t know who Melody is look in the gallery
and there should be a fan character comic called Admiration.

Wait, Sue’s running for Sectretary.
Jasmine’s running for president.


I see no problem here? Or am I just being dense?

Nice comic, I really enjoy it, and I love the story and characters.


Although, no offense at all, reading the comments here is equivalent to reading the comments on YouTube.

Can i just vote for McCain instead?

This si the best birthday present evahr!

Hidden melody is hidden.

Sue & McCain > Jasmine & Paulo. :3

Sweet Jesus! McCain is short!

Good job, Taeshi.

I vote for Jasmine. She’s cuter.

I want to vote for Jasmine, but if her stance is that she’s awesome, then McCain has her beat. Specially in how Sue is all down and yet he just manages to spike up her additude in no time flat by just bitch slapping Paulo’s statements with hard facts.
I like Jasmine, Paulo’s also great, but McCain is epic beyond words. Actually, him and Sue are probably my fav characters so…yeah…

WOOO McCAIN TO THE RESCUE!!!! :awesomeface:

Jasmine is indeed awesome but Sue would surely do a better job.


I vote Sue.

THE FU****N PLOT THICKINGZ kinda… sorta… ok its a lead to the part that really helps the story…

Ugh I dunno know who to pick!

*sigh* I was hopping to be first (12:00) any who I VOTE FOR THAT ONE GUY you know from that thing….

@Morgan- Yeah, I didn’t exactly see the problem either. Maybe Sue just sees it competitively because she doesn’t think Jasmine should be in office with the attitude she has and the promises she’s making?
I also like the fact that a freshman is running for president of the entire school while a junior is running for secretary.
…Although don’t more high schools have divisions by grade?

Melody is stalking in the background, hahahahaha.

is that grey cahrecter… no its not… hmmm must find out who it is. (lol, lots of janitors without the face)

sincerly, the wii anonymous

Silent hill……………………………………………………….

why not the rent is too damn high?

Hmm… Well, my thought is that with all their energy, Paulo and Jasmine will probably win. Once they win however, they’ll quickly get overloaded with the responsibility of it all and hand it over to Susan and McCain.
Or who knows, maybe David will be a darkhorse candidate and win (that would be the best possible ending, right after Akari Ichinose’s idea).

Jasmine has clothes again, what it there some kind of toggle switch as to whether or not she is wearing them?

is that taeshi in cat form in the shadows in panel 3?? love the glasses.

No, Sen. That is a certain fancharacter. Known as Melody.

Relationships and politics….not a good mix

I’m surprised at Jazz’s new emotional self. She’s like the next Lucy. But with Paulo instead of Mike.

I could punch McCain for scaring Jazzie.

At least I know I won’t vote for McCain. Just like in 2008.

i like her design without clothes : P

ahahah.
melody.

Anyone else missing Tess? I mean seriously I’ve seen characters come and go like targets in a shooting gallery but sheesh, at least you see them leaving, Tess….more like fell into a black hole, honestly since Jazz’s introduction into the main cast she’s gone AWOL, I mean seriously she can’t be gone like this without at least an explanation. This web comic has earned a top placement in my favorite web comics because; if not mostly because, of it’s epic storytelling and plot continuity, this is an incredible let down. I mean, yes. All things considered, within the time frame in which the world exist not a whole lot of time has passed and maybe Tess is going to be making a resurgence in later chapters, but here absence is rather unsettling and truly disappointing.

I may just be thinking to heavily about this or not giving the author enough time, but I thought I’d make a mention of this and see if anyone other than myself has noticed her dismissal.

Oh God

(real comment)
uugghhh….I have no idea of school policy

GO MCCAIN!!!!!!
I like Jasmine, but McCain (and Sue) RULESssss FOREVER!!!!!

And Sue would be SO much better at the administration-stuff or something ~ She likes paperwork xD

I like McCain. Hes so absolutly coolheaded.

Sue or Jasmine?…. Sue. Why. Because the winner will disapear after the election. I want Jasmine to stay in the mainplot.

SO I herd u liek Bold font Cam. 0_0

I lol’d. Everyone is oh so shocked that there’s a fan character in the comic. Guess you gotta have people to fill in the free space.

McCain is the only person to put a smile on Sue’s face. It’s absolutely wonderful.

Okay, I definitely vote for whoever else is running now. This is too hard. x3

Hahaha go McCain! Love jasmines face in panel 6

Jasmine is so cute! =)

Oh god, Paulo pulled a Fonz (if I spelled that right).

YES the first shut it mccain of the season! im hoping to see many more
oh and the cameo is that weird glasses girl behind jazz in the middle panel

everyone promices awesome ****. then when they get into office, they wont (or cant)do any of it.
I VOTE SUE.
<3

oh and i just noticed…
where is Daisy telling us to go in the store??
i liked her there…

I have newfound respect for McCain.
Sue. 4evaa!

EDIT:
Hey, freshmen can run for elections?

Camoe= Shadow girl in panel 3. Do I get a cookie?

Cameo*

Voting for Sue.

Sympathy votes are for chumps.

I suppose Alec did possibly break his record for screentime before being told to shut it. Amusement. Jasmine’s cute, but I vote Sue too. Shake things up with Sue! Pervs…

Still going for Sue at least she knows her limits and if she doesn’t McCain is there ti make sure that happens I bet he’s read the entire school handbook!

@X-Saber It’s Fonzi close but it needs the ‘i’

The chances of either of them getting the position they want seens unlikely, though the possible fight between Alec’s logic and Paulo’s hyperness should be a good laugh. More so given the people that make this comic.

McCain saves the day :3

McCain is a voice of reason. There is no reason to vote for unreasonable choices presented by Jasmine and Paulo. I’m putting my money on a close election with Sue winning the occasion

Small side note, but that shirt goes well with Jasmine’s eyes.

Jasmine’s facial expresions made me…umm… LOL? :l

Jasmine just looks so cute. :3

AND MCCAIN’s CONTRADICTION MAKES HIM A GOOD COUNTERATTACK.

I see where you placed that,
I see what you did there.

McCain’s got his counter-catchphrase back!

[Chester Bum] Hooray!! [/Chester Bum]

Jasmine’s look while McCain is explaining… made my day. ^^

So Jasmine put on a dress after she left the computer lab, right? Because she totally didn’t have one then and she certainly has one now.

SHUT IT McCAIN !!! :3

Who says “candy bars” anymore?

Jasmine’s got my vote!

What an absolutely logical reason!

Why is jazzis now wearing clothes when she wasn’t earlier in the computer lab?

this chapter will have 18 pages?
I totally saw it would have 20 pages when the first one came out…
My brain must be playing tricks on me again…

Paulo, you fool. Jasmine is ALREADY awesome =^_^=

PS. Damn you Jasmine for being so cute <3

Pickle agrees with McCain.

Pickle thinks we should see McCain more often.

:(

Hey there Melody, enjoy the cameo.

Point for team McCain.

those two are pefect for each other(Paulo Jasmine) LMAO

VOTE FOR JASMINE!!

I think paulo and jasmine’s relationship is more of a bro-thing than actual romance. I don’t really like them together.

I vote McCain

Yes, she is awesome.This chapter will be Legen….wait for it……dary.

SHUT IT MACAIN

Darn it, the new forum’s the kind I’m always getting banned from…

And nice job, McCain.

.

Can I vote for neither and instead pick Lucy to be Student Body Empress?

Awww, Jasmine looks so cute crying with her tail fluffed up xD

Nonetheless, I’m voting for Sue and McCain. They deserve it after standing on the sidelines all the time and are more cut out for the job in my opinion xD

You all are fools… FOOLS! The votes will mean NOOTHIIIING!! Theyw ill only use whoever is easily manipulated to better control the student body!! Don’t give iiiiiin!!!
*Flail*

Honestly, it seems like Jasmine an Pualo really make a good team. Unlike Sue’s entry in the last strip when she lost the energy. Pualo NEVER runs out. Guy seems to always be so energetic…wonder what his secret is..

good lord! high school politics, I just love how Mc Cain always has to bring reality to the situations

Jazzy and Paulo get my vote.There the perfect team. Plus their relationship is so adorable. The innocent (Jazzy) and the…player for lack of a better word (Paulo). It’s so insane it works. Also has anyone else noticed how all the background non-distinguished students are only like half the size of the main focus characters in this page?

Props on Paulo’s “SHUT UP McCAIN” face
^_^

Paulo and Jasmine are both morons, I see? I overestimated their ability to think >.> Also surprised to see Daisy asking a rather obvious question O.o

Christ, now i need to get a forum account? Like an registred member? With avatar and all those stuffs including a colored text box? Hum…. i’m going to registery…

Trev the lurker here:

I give Mccain props for speaking up. He is slowly beginning to become one of my favorite characters despite his lack of screentime. His logic is sound and his brilliance is shadowed in a cloak of mystery. I respect him. I deeply respect him.

I’m growing to love Mccain’s sensible comments. The fact that he’s always told to shut up makes it even more hilarious when the other characters know he’s right.

Also, shiney new forum! I’ll check it out.

mccain is a smartass

Has the ‘McCain as Morpheus’ joke been done or was that a thing that only happened in my imagination?

I like how Jazz is genuinely shocked and surprised that she can’t do what she thought she could. Guess she’s not exactly an Honors kid.

Yes! Someone told McCain to shut up again! =D The balance is restored. -.-

Paulo, yelling at the rules will not make them go away.

Team McCain is going to win >: D

I spy a random guy in the background!

I’m voting for Sue. I like Paulo and Jazmine’s energy, but logic wins!

The hills have eyes.

@ad
I rather be a smartass than a *******.

hi, i’m new and i think this comic it’s awesome!
would like to know how often the pages come out
(sorry, bad at searching)
keep up the great work!

@Chris
they are updated every, Monday, wensday, and Friday.

Taeshi’s using fancharacters for filler!

On the bright side, they’re already “ok” fancharacters, like Melody and Larken… :p

daisy is the cameo!

She’s got my vote

Is the Cameo that kitty behind Jasmine in the 3rd Panel? (ding!) (applause!)

@Daxdi5, yes… but you forgot that she has a name.

i would have to vote for Jasmine

Yeah, Jasmine would be my vote. Keep up the good work Taeshi!

@Stephen: But, but, We wouldn’t be able to see all this if Suitcase hadn’t designed the site.

If we get to vote I’m definatley voting for Jasmine!

I vote for Sue and mccain

buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu uuuuuuuuuuuu

Mccain has to keep talking… Paulo needs to stop telling him to shut up ;-;

@im a real ghost, pointless post is pointless. |:_

@Zoey, this comic would turn into a page worth of McCain’s rant if that happened, and Jasmine would be an emotional wreck afterward. xD

Does anyone else see the person with glasses in panal 3?

@akacatgirl, yes, we have all seen Melody in panel 3… I can almost count the number of people who said it. :p

Mccain’s so cute and short
I just wanna hug that little know-it-all. :3

That settles it. McCain and Sue for the win!

i’m having problem to register to the forum…. who is that white coloured cat they said?

lucy bro sap

People like that annoy me. She can’t just change everything in the school. I think I might like Jasmine a little less now, though she’s still awesome.

I’d vote for Sue.

I thought Jasmine was wearing clothes again because of all the outrageous comments from the first page lol.

@Skylan2021 She is, look at the dress in panel 6

McCain for president… that’s sound good

myyyy.. new forum? I’m gonna try it

Im on Sue and McCain side though I didnt vote for McCain but in this case it seems tat havin a real politician rocks but how is McCain even at tat school?! HES FREAKIN OLD CAT GUY!

@CatKing, he’s not old… OR the real McCain. ‘:_

@derp, sooo true. xD

Introducing a hint of emnity between an old friend and the new girl? A million ways this could end

@derp
Obama can go die!!!

I was like McCain in 6th grade.
Everyone was all ‘Vote for this guy lol! He will get us cookiez!!!’
I would always be ‘Erm… they’re just a figurehead. They can’t do anything…’

Um…will it be against the “commenting rules” to advertise things on the forum?

@kikren, idk, but most likely yes.

I’d vote for Sue simply she has the awesomness that is Mccain

and by the way, McCain, SHUT DOWN!!!!!!!!

Oh, now I wanna vote for Jasmine, if she’s gonna be awesome!

I hate to be the McCain of the comments…okay no I don’t. I love it.>w< Aaaanyway.

1: There shouldn’t be a real problem since yes. Sue=Secretary Jazzy=President. Not really any cause for a rivalry. At all.

2: Anyone gets sad when they have their happy-bubble burst by a bubble-burster like McCain. Heck, I’d probably react the same way. That doesn’t make Jazz the next Lucy. It’s not overly emotional, it’s just reacting to being told ‘You can’t really do that, you know’.

3: My actual response was “Hee~ more McCain! yay~” because logic is awesome. And then I read the comments and got ranty.>w<

4: Why, when you open the comments, are the newest ones on the bottom? Just askin’.

Paulo needs to learn to listen once in a while. Jazzie can’t make those changes because what kind of school board and administration would allow that kinda **** to haapen

why is mccain so short? :0

and why/how did Jazz put on a dress from her comp class to lunch?

@Echo

Because he is a Terrier

Guess clothes are sexy?

I still want Sue to win. For some reason, I’m affected by who would win. xD

Unflawed logic. Awesome people ARE awesome, after all

wait,
why is Jazz wearing somethin again o3o

Love how Sue gets happy wene McCane uses his most powerfull attack (Logic)

Waaaaaiiitttt a minute, I thought Sue was running for Secretary or something not President?

ok i can accept its the next day and thats why shes wearing a gren dress or w/e but yesterday she was naked and when we fist met her she had clothes on, whats the deal with clothes in this world?

MCCAINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

wow those 2 are made for each other but what going one between sue and morphious there hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

I just love how mcain doesn’t give two ***** that paulo is yelling.

I love sue’s I SEE YOU laser beam stare. I lol’d

Also: (Sorry can’t edit.) think I found the cameo. The random person in the background of pannel… 3

@Mr.Dude: I don’t think it’s ever been formally stated, but I gather clothes are just a fashion statement in Bittersweetworld. Fur-only seems to be the everyday jeans-and-t-shirt equivalent, with the added bonus of being perfectly acceptable at school or work.

McCain just happens to be the kind of guy to walk everywhere in a black leather jacket.

Hm, they both pose good arguments, but I wonder why mccai isn’t running, these kind of things seem right up his alley. x3

No way am I signing up >_> I was like first to sign up for the old one but nobody joined, and then when they did, they were all really mean and evil o_O

I’m here for the comic, not for the other people who like the comic o_o

@Hyper: BOOOO!

@Hyper it’s expected to have ******** gravitate to the comic. Taeshi already has 1 over-reactive hater.

McCain is always awesome when he speaks, can’t get enough of him lol X3

@Yappy except at the beach. Fur-only apparently is NOT acceptable there… for some reason unexplained by our lovely almost-23-year-old Taeshi

My epifany! Paulo should drop Jazz in the campaign, and hit it with Sue!

Paulo = awesome
Sue = More Awesome!

Paulo x Sue = Most awesome ever!! The perfect couple!!

Sure, they are different, but their awesomeness will unite them and keep them strong. Also, paulo has grown a lot in the last few chapters, and can totally manage that now B)

(also, die McCain!)

:D Cheers Tae!!!!

…That you in panel three? I FOUND IIITTTTT

I’m voting Sue!
Because McCain!

cant wait for the next page!!!!

Eh, I’ll sign up for the forum. Why not?

3 word that Mc Cain always hear from the others : SHUT IT MCCAIN

Is the cameo in panel 3 or is it Daisy?

Ten thumbs up for separation of feline powers

Sue’s Eyebeams of hatred cannot penetrate Jasmine’s invisible bubble of Happiness.

@Jorje I saw she was wearing the dress. I was just saying that I thought the reason she’s wearing a dress today is because of all the furry comments on the first page lol.

And that is why McCain is my favorite character: Bold and flat out honest.

Here here. Vote McCain. Yeah!

If McCain and David were a team, I’d vote for them.
But I guess they didn’t get along last summer.

I think McCain should run for it!
I vote for McCain! *puts on McCain glasses* A logical choice for a logical leader! *takes off McCain glasses*

Mccains wondering why he’s shorter than everybody.

I just love Alec McCain hes mai best friend now

“Shut it McCain”, how many chapters has it been since that phrase has been said?

Depends on how many chapters there have been since Alec talked.

Whenever I see this strip I think of the edit in Candybooru of Paulo eating McCain’s head.

Paulo: i totes fap 2 dat

do NOT like jasmine >.<
Let’s face it McCain is awesome

SHUT IT McCAIN!

even when getting told to shut up he still looks so badass.



you know what? screw that.

McCAIN FOR PRESIDENT!

i love the way they both look in da last panel

Where did Jasmine’s dress come from?

McCain for pres

So wait, Jazz went naked yesterday and is wearing clothes today? Is that, like, a choice in the BCB world? Man, I wish we were all cats and dogs, it’d be so much simpler.

Awww! Jazz crying at McCain’s reality harshness is so sad!

I know how you feel, though, McCain. I have been the lone voice of reality a lot of times in my life. It does not make you popular.

And all you are trying to do is keep people from driving their bus off the edge of a cliff and crashing into Crazytown!

But they get their enthusiasm back at the end.

They are totally my favorite couple now.

BY THE POWER OF AWESOME, I WILL PREVAIL!

I completely agree with Luke. SO much simpler.

Woah! Jazz has got some kind of inviso-shield that protects her from Sue’s Ayu Glare.

McCain is my only rolemodel in this comic who is fake.

Oh goodness do those two go together well. Their bubbly personalities are just mirrored back and forth.

First panel: AYU BEEM GLARE!

Why do they hate McCain so much?? He was just stating a fact lol
