Bittersweet Candy Bowl

Haha, first! Sorry, had to get that off my chest. Anyway…

So glad to see Tess return. I was wondering where she had gone. THINGS JUST GOT INTERESTING.

Also, I hadn’t thought that Sue could be so…manipulative. I rather like this side of her.

Tess: OH SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

Third! Yay!

Welcome back, Tess! You were missed! Is it just me or does Tess seem Ramona Flowers-esqe?

Also: Sue, you conniving, sadistic, tactical, strategist. Make me proud when you rule the world with McCain someday.

LOL Tess is in the WRONG place at the WRONG time!

awww poor luce!!!

man i really like sue, dunno why

Oh hey, it’s that girl! Haven’t seen her in a while

Finally! Tess is back, for not being a main character i do enjoy her antics

kek trouble brewing

Vote Communism poster in panel 4 ? awesome

There’s tess! But good comic still

haha, is that the play poster I see? o3o

Manipulate Jasmine ?

I really hope she boop’s Sue ***

> : |

Sweetie indeed

be scared tess… be very, very scared…

hey wait does that flier in the back of the 4th panel say vote for communism?

>> I don’t see this going well at all. >_> As far as choices, she’s not likely to win many popularity contests. << Which highschool elections tend to be.

AW **** this ought to be good.

TESS FOR PRESIDENT!
EVERYONE WILL LOOK FORWARD TO THE NEATLY LAID OUT AND DIABOLICAL PLAN F MANIPULATION THAT WILL BE APPLIED ON HER!

GO TESS!

Poor Tess

Why do I get the feeling David put up the “vote communism” poster? If it is that anyway. It seems like something he would do.

Poor Paulo, ah well, his fault

What’s whith the sad face in panel 5

Had been wondering where Tessa went.

I have to question this comic though, I thought Sue was supposed to be smart enough to realize everyone still hates Tessa. >.>

First of all: Seriously? That many comments in two minutes? I stayed up until midnight and got THIS?…Then again it’s 3:00 p.m. in Sidney time, if I remember the auto-update time correct.

Second: I was literally just thinking about how little Tess is featured lately. ARE YOU A WIZARD

YEAH TESS

@ a dreamer 2

Maby cus’ it has his face on it?

AUGUSTUS FOR PRESIDENT!

Think about it…

Oh, Man… Tess is thrown into the scene… **** is about to go down, ya’ll

Hmm… McCain as vice president? That might be a risky idea Sue…..
HEY WAIT A MINUTE!
*looks back at Taeshi’s previous commentary on page six*
Wow I never knew that McCain was a Junior.

DEVIOUS.
The votes are tight.
You have this place on judiciary lockdown.
The government belongs to you.

@Cyber sandwich: Pretty much. The more I look at it the more I’m convinced it’s David. Who knows, he might show up later on to voice his campaign.

Alec’s a junior? Huh … whatever, McCain would make a pretty awesome vice president.

Also, there’s no way Tess could win president—half the school hates her!

Tess is so hot right now

Wouldn’t you want someone more popular than Tess to play the role of top pupet? Mabey she makes othes look better in comaparison

Wait wait wait, is David trying to make the school a communist school?!?

Is that David voting for communism?

Is that a poster for the play next to Jasmine’s flier? Also, communism poster = <3 THE PROLETARIAT SHALL RISE!!

Disclaimer: Mikaro does not really support Communism. In fact, he thinks it’s batshit lunacy. So remember kids! Winners don’t use drugs. Communists do… You don’t wanna be not a winner, do ya??? WELL DO YA?!?

/end disclaimer rant ;

Vote Communism!

Nice.

i vote for david lol.

Alec is a junior?

Of course! Communism is almost a perfect system But every rose has it’s thorn. And in this case it’s corruption among goverment officals which is not a problem here for two resons 1: all changes have to go through the board of officals and 2: a leader of a school would have nothing to gain from changing the distribution of pencils his way

So is McCain going to be Vice President?

Maybe I’m reading into this too much (and it’s probably just a coincidence), but does anyone else see the possible joke behind McCain running as vice president?

POP

why is paulo in the bg when he is obviously way closer to the camera than lucy is

or did lucy just get really tiny

I LOVE MC CAIN!! <333

And Tess makes her triumphant return!

Also, David is telling the student body to vote for communism?! *facepalm*

OMG Tess is finally back ^.^ glad to see..omg i read the whole comic from beginning to end within like 3 days and now its killing me waiting in between haha oh well.thx for the amazing comic taeshi
sincerely, BCB fanboy

Todd, I know the feeling. It took me three weeks to get over the fact that I cant continue on all the time. I have to wait for updates, and it is so long between them! Not really. I can survive… for now. But once we hit another angsty arc, I am gonna die.

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz……update? UPDATE!!! BANZAI!!!!
I vote for ze David dog in thee name of COMMUNISM!!!
Sue makes me so proud!!! we share the same hobby Lolz;D!
and her background in panel 8 brings sparkling to my eyes!!!
Paulo’s 300 some how causes Lucy to blush. SCANDALOUS!!!
I wonder what taste of kind does her bubble gum contains?
maybe its Bittersweet Candy Flavored!!!
who would have thought that such cute comic can also be use as an instrument for propaganda! POLITICS EVEN!!!
only time will tell what lies beneath in this…
Bittersweet-O-Drama and Bubble Gum flavor!!!

p.s. God Bless to all!!!
Also Good Night to everyone except for the Asian side and Middle east Lolz;D!
America is so cold!!! But I wasn’t expecting this COLD!!! I can’t feel my legs—
Zzzzzzzzzzzzz………….

Is Mccain a follower of politics? …interesting…

D’awwwwwww….. ( actually, I don’t think it is )

(Gets out a baseball bat) Disembowel her. I mean grab her.

hey tess is wearing a star necklace now O: what happened to her heart one?

hey teashi how much is it for australia to buy stuff like the book or that mug?

T….Tess?

Oh, how I’ve missed you.

127 pages and 163 days was far too long.

(Yes, I counted)

(Yes, I’m lame)

LOLOLOLOL @ Beardfire WOW 163 days?? i didn’t reallizze

lol, David “vote communism”

the power is already going to her head…wait, did that red posted say vote communism?

RUUUN TESS RUUUN!!!!!!!!!

that doesn’t really look like Ｔess. Ｉ mean, Ｉ guess it’s supposed to be, but her bangs are too round/soft and she looks kinda like a baby ：/

Tess is back which I didn’t expect
Why Lucy blushes all the time?

@Everyone:

Check the cast page. McCain is, and always has been, a year older than the main cast.

IN NON-McCAIN NEWS

I love how Sue doesn’t even try to hide the fact that all the other candidates are her puppets.

Really, Tess? Bubblegum? With YOUR bangs?

[Sue] Heyyy… Tess… You know how we’re friends and stuff? Well… would you like to—
[Tess] No.
[Sue] But I didn’t eve—
[Tess] No.
[Sue] Oh come o—
[Tess] No.
[Sue] T-T

Lol @ the “Vote communism” poster with David on it.

And welcome back Tess! =D

Ohhhh Lucy-Luv!
Why the flushing cheeks? >_O < : D

Tactical campaigning? I lol’d.
Vote Communism? I lol’d again.

Tess, win the poupularity contest? Riiiiight.

Oh Lucy, you and your crushes on people who love other people.

Its cute how her ears droop and she blushes though.

Poor Lucy

And Tess soon, apparently!

Lucy - The legendary Angst Storm

How can they even blow bubblegum!?
Even if it gets past the fangs, they got fur all over.

YUCK.

Lucy is still in love with Paulo and hay Tess is back.

TESS <3

Tess! Haven’t seen her in a while! Also, is that David promoting communism in panel 4?!

A bitch? In my school elections? More likely than you think.

Tess finally makes an important appearance after about three chapters, woo~

Yay, its Tess! But I kinda liked the heart locket…..the star one is cool too Heh, I guess even in politics Katie is a little bitch.

Don’t trust

tess: “****!! this takes for ever to get out of my fur!”

also… what is this i see, Lucy still have feelings for Paulo? good to hear! i still think somthings wrong with Jasmine… something just not right about her…

Oh Sue - she’s becoming more and more like me xD Is that a dark aura i smell?
I’m glad Tess’s back - but I’m a bit worried about the whole TessxPauloxJasmine (xLucy too) thing…

D-David’s running!?

She’s going to go mad with power!

Suzy gone loco in the cavasa…….

Tess is totally reminding me of Ramona Flowers right there.

@Baeleox
Yeah. When I saw Tess, I thought of Scott Pilgrim. O_o

Oh and I never knew McCain was a junior. The more you know.

I don’t think any of the student body would vote for Tess still

TESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS !

im wondering if anyone would vote for poor tess

Yeah, people will vote for Tess.
Dream on, little Susie.

And, do I read “…te …munism” as in “Vote for Comunism”?
That’s a free country for ya
LOL

I’m glad Tess is back. Makes this a whole lot more interesting.

@SkylineFaux

I don’t think McCain is implied to be a junior here, seems like when Sue says vice she means vice secretary. I don’t think being a junior would be a prerequisite for that position.

Lucy seems so… cheery without Mike here…
She’s reassuring Paulo, keeping in touch with Sue, and overall, not… hurting people…

Is it just me or is Lucy suddenly tiny compared to everyone else? <.

lucy the pretty butterfly

HIYA TESS! Sue being manipulative isn’t surprising me too much. She seems to be a controlling type especially the last comic when McCain wanted some lunch and she just wanted to leave to set up more posters.

Oh and five bucks that Jazz made Paulo change them

Wheeee, finally Tess is showing up again!
But she as president…uh…well, don’t think the others will vote for her…poor thing.
Sue is a delinquent I’m happy she has more personality and a more important role now! Compared to the first few chapters…btw I love it that you change the hairstyles! (Tess, Lucy, Sue..) not that the previous ones were bad, but it’s great to see some character progress.

Tess is back, back, back, back again. Hooray!

The plot thickens… this might backfire on sue though…
btw why wont anyone help Paulo with the signs?

She gonna push Paulo down the stairs?

Hey I remember that person!

I betcha Sue’s gonna make a grab-n-go with Tess.

That isn’t mistletoe, is it?

She’s gonna need a campaign slogan…

“Tess of the Ro’sevilles” anyone?

I love the last 2 mini panels!
Run Tess! Save yourself!

wasnt the last time we saw tess basicalyl when she started beign a senior? i cant recall… anyway, sue is quite a evil person.

sincerly, the wii anonymous

Then there was an awkward moment…before Tess ran.

@100000
I think it is implied. Sue is looking to have people she knows as officers so that she can be manipulative. That and Word of God has already spoken.

so… is mike a loner now when he’s not in school?
btw… VOTE DAVID FOR COMMUNISM!

Good luck with Tess. No sarcasm, I mean really good luck.
And Alec McCain for Vice President? Holy crap BRILLIANT! Sue and McCain will rule the school!

Still keeping up the good work. Had to ask though; panel 4: everyone’s focusing on David’s poster; but the poster for the play(I’m presuming,) next to Jasmine’s poster: it says the play will be produced in January 2008. So does that mean the series has been happening in 2007?

Tess?! You’ve got to be kidding! She’s one of the most infamous seniors in school! Good luck on getting anyone to vote for her.

Good luck getting Tess elected. Who knows, maybe the majority of underclassmen will vote for her.

Tess running for president ? I sense more then one complication. But complications are for a story like salt is for a soup. Can’t wait to see the next pages… ^^

Eegh, Tess for president? I don’t think the she or the school is all for that.

Brave cat. I know I would never chew gum if I had fur…

How does she keep it in her mouth? Cats don’t have cheeks >.>

I like the new hair doo. now she just needs a magical hammer space bag.

this is my school account because i am awesome
plus, yay we got jess back!

oh hey is that a David poster in the background? “vote communism”

myuuuuu
Tessa looks so cute in that last few panels x3

Lucy is… very small compared to the other characters…

HURRAY! TESS IS BACK! AND HURRAY! MANIPULATION!

wow
sue will never have a president to manipulate

i love the ending. *pop*

Muhha ha ha I love having Tess back!

…I still prefer Tess with longer hair

…Well then.
…Gonna hafta go with Icaras on this one.

David, you and your communist ways…

Referring to him being in “The Munist” poster WHICH JUST HAPPENS TO BE RED AND GOLD. Coincidence? INCONCIEVABLE!

Tess is like, WTF?……(POP)

My God, Lucy looks tiny compared to Paulo.

McCainxTess?

MATCH MADE IN HEAVEN

How does Sue know there’s never progress in this school? This is only her second year in high school. Has she been talking to former students to get their views of past years?

I doubt Tess would run for president. Even if she did, she isn’t likely to collect many votes from among the seniors and juniors. They know about her past with Roger.

Interesting that this is set in the 2007-08 school year.

@ Beardfire: To put claims of ‘lameness’ into perspective, I once knew a guy who posted a thread commenting on how it’d been 687 days since a particular secondary character had last appeared in a newspaper comic strip.

And Tess comes for the rescue!

Chewing gum while being entirely covered in fur is.. dangerous.

Rofl, Sue is just awesome xDD

THERE SHE IS!!! WHATEVER HER NAME IS!!!!!!

ZOMG Tess is back…or something.

Also, I expected Sue to be the manipulative type. They DO make the best politicians.

Uh oh does Lucy look jealous? And about time Tess is back!

Lol just noticed David’s VOTE COMMUNISM poster in the very right of panel 4.

tess: well…****, i’m gonna be gone for awhile again

Why do I see untold doses of severe drama at Tess’s return?Ah yes,that’s right,Paulo had a nasty break up with her and now he has a new sweetie……..Wait,he’s doing the same damn thing!Dating a freakin’ freshman!Christ, >:[ they never learn…

With David running, I would think that Sue wouldn’t have a chance. Wouldn’t that be great: Jazz for treasurer, McCain for vice president and Tess somehow winning president, but Sue loses to David and Communism. I can’t wait for Friday. ^_^

Yay! First post!…for me anyways.

And comment for “A Dreamer”: Dude, Sue created a sizable group of characters who didn’t get enough attention and nearly led them on a rampage that almost took over the comic! =O *gasp* Sue is a mastermind.

Wait a minute…OH SNAP! Tess for President!?! But…oh dear.

(btw, I lol’d after seeing the “Edit Post” page)

Alec is a junior?

And the socialist take over begins..

is it just me or is lucy actually kinda heartbroken over paulo?

General Ackbar: It’s a trap!!!

I support David for his communism. Bittersweet High needs a
collective regime of peace and love.

Trouble’s a-brewin’. I smells it.

@Hannibal oh my god that’s genious, just because of that I’m torn between him and Sue

Tess is back

mccain is a junior?

Yay, the return of Tess!

… I’m probably not the first person to notice that. xD

I don’t think Tess will get votes if she becomes president. Since her history thing.
But this shall be interesting!

Yay Tess is back ^_^

Lol at Paulo for ghetto-fixin’ all the poasters
only 299 more poasters to go

but enough talkin’, lets get to rockin’
Nazareth - Hair of the Dog
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyXz6eMCj2k

Badass tess is badass.

Hey look, its that one girl that used to be relevant to the story

Hey look, a fancharacter who is now more important than most of the cast… http://one-finger-salute.org/middle_finger.png

So…wait…is Lucy crushing on *Paulo* now?

50$ says somethings going to happen to Sandy and Mike is going to fall for Lucy again just in time to screw everything up royally once more.

Awww… Lucy is hiding something.. >:3
WooHoo.. Tess makes an apperence..
I Just LOVE the first 4-5 panels, just seeing Paulo and Lucy together makes me excited.. x3
Oh and hey..

On the 4th panel the poster with the person looking like a butterfly(it almost looks like Lucy) the date is 2008.. are they two years behind us? Or is it a REALLY old poster.


Anyway.. Cant wait to see how Tess gets stuck in this incredible mess.. xD

TESS TESS TESS TESS TESS! Finally, I missed her

Hmmm. Is that a David supporting Communism poster I see?

Sorry to say Sue, but Tess isn’t exactly on good terms with about half the school…

Oh Sue, you and your “progress”. xP

does anyone else see the shadow of cuthulu of is it just me

@Tess: Run, you sexy bitch, RUN!!!

Sue really wants to make changes lol… OMG Alec as Vice!! *imagines the school with Alec as Vice* ;D ill totally vote for him Go McCain Go!
*Wild Tess appears* Long time no see

i know this is a terrible joke and all
but you should have the other vice canditate be named obama

WAS THAT A COMUNISM POSTER I JUST SAW

how much you wanna bet sue wont win but everyone else will?

just throwing that out there…

Hey, can you draw humans? It would be really interesting to see what the characters would look like as humans, even if it was just one picture.

Oh man is she lookin at the wrong girl. Isn’t Tess rather…unpopular still? So not happening.

I kinda like Tessa’s hair longer… but the shortness makes her even spunkier xD
And of course she’s still adorable and i love her ^u^

Luuuucy likes Paulo~

Oh god….

Sue’s sneaky, Lucy’s adorable, and Tessa has a minor “What?” look going on. I wanna take them home with me!

Paulo sure was nice to fix his epic screwup.

Finally, Tess got actual screen-time! Been a bit. Wait… Tess trying to become president means Jessica and Rachel are gonna show up. And then conflict. The plot thickens.

Is it just me, or is Lucy’s minor crush on Paulo showing after he turns his back?

first time i see tess in color. sweet. but, people hate her…so… people wont choose her, right? and when did tess get the colar? and yes ho, i think she is growing for him again. *hopes they don’t think he meant a wrong thing*

I’m confused.

@Kitsonpaw:

It kind of looks like a somewhat snug necklace. Maybe she’s just not in the habit of wearing it?

Also, Is… David running? Panel 4. Looks like him…

RUN TESS

Woah, Lucy is like she used to be: all awesome and “I don’t really care” and everything. Sadly, it’s only when people are looking. She’s secretly still a dramatic and obsessive girl…

Other posters I spy…
David as a rebel of sorts…
Sue calling Katie a jerk and making that half her campaign.
Lucy…is a fairy? Does this have something to do with the play?

Trev the lurker here:

Sue is an evil tatical genious, shes gonna have trouble getting people to vote for tess though, what with her bad rap and such

Sue and Mccain shall rule the world. yes.

enjoy this picture i drew of Mike driving a truck
http://tinypic.com/view.php?pic=2uzyufa&s=7

Sue. Bad Idea. Everyone there hates Tess.

Huh, I didn’t know McCain was a Junior. Sue likes the older one huh? And How does Sue plan on getting everyone to vote for Tess?

Wait, how did I miss that blush?

I REMAIN HOPEFUL. PAULOxLUCY FOREVER.

I’m pretty sure David’s poster said “vote communism”

Tess! <3

IT DOESS!!!!!!

Oh yeah. Sue and Lucy got closer in recent times. “And, with me as secretary, Alec as vice, Jasmine as treasurer, and someone we know as president, we shall rule the WOR- um. I mean, we can make REAL change! Yeah.”

Is that even David?

Looks like him.

About the blush, Paulo and Lucy have had a mutual crush since they were little, though Paulo’s is more apparent in general. Lucy just hates being touched out of the blue so much. And random sexual comments bother her too, as seen on the last panel of 59. Similar to Mike, “like” does not mean “won’t knock the crap out of you”.

lol at david’s poster: VOTE COMMUNISM >:U

YES. LUCY X PAULO.
HOPE IS NOT LOST.
-obsessed-.
(I’m sorry Jasmine x Paulo fans…. but I have been waiting forever to see what happens after the whole “you banged Jess and Rachel, lolwut”)

I notice everyone’s like “ZOMG WHERE DID TESS GO?!” (including me), and I think I’ve come up with the best solution (WARNING: I came up with this while sleep deprived. That means it doesn’t have to make sense. At all.)

Tess has spent the last FOREVAH secretly going through Assassin Training or something equally WTF, and just got back. THAT’S WHAT’S IN MY HEAD AND I’M STICKING WITH IT. (>.>)

Also, the real reason Lucy’s blushing is because she broke the fourth wall and knows about Paulo’s “daydream” a chapter or two ago.

DAVID FOR COMMUNISM

BEST POSTER

I never realised how tall paulo was, he towers over lucy

LOL ITS RAMONA FLOWERS LMFAO

What’s happened to Tess hair?

TESSA. YOUR GUNNA BE PUT INTO SUE’S SCHEME

Looks like someone is still a bit embarrassed about throwing herself at Paulo out of desperation earlier. So cute. =^_^=

Tess looked prettier with long hair u.u

I love the energy Sue has. its contagious

VOTE COMMUNISM

^^ hellz yeah commies!

Hey Taeshi!!!

I just noticed that you have an EVE - Online AD Banner up… are you a player? I am SGT Funyoun of the Gallente.

To everyone else…

If any of you play any sort of online games I DEFINETLY recommend EVE - Online. I could really use some more victims… uh… uhm… I mean… fellow players in my PvP Corporation. The new FREE Incursion expansion pack just dropped and I really hope some of you will hop on board a frigate and come join the fight.

Are you a bot?
-squints-

“i know this is a terrible joke and all
but you should have the other vice canditate be named obama” - jolteonstorm

Glad I wasn’t the only person to see that joke.

It’s a shame Tess wouldn’t be a good president if you know her past didn’t make everyone from the Senior class alienate her in a way. I guess Sue didn’t even think of that.

Manipulation in politics? Who would ever think of that

Damn paulo you be a playa you got jasmine lucy and now tess is back man the ****’s about ta’ hit da’ fan!

That and go david you are so totally going to pop up a preach communism

Oh no, that red poster that’s partially covered… does it say ‘Hate Communism’? all that’s visible is ‘te munism’ and the red background makes me think communism. couple that with the fact that most people (In america at least) are brainwashed to think communism has no redeeming factors and that’s what I’m left to assume.

What happened to her heart necklace its a star now

@keith_Z i think it says “Vote Communism”

No I am not a freaking bot. I just like the game alot.

Lucy likes Liam, has a crush on Paulo, lurves Michael, is fancied by David, and may be crushed on by Jessica, who may be more than “best friends” with Rachel, who may-or-may-not still have a crush on Paulo, who is currently with Jasmine. Let’s not go into Mike.

did i just see david on one of the posters?

I always thought that thingy on sue was some kind of bow but its apparently a plant thingy with further inspection so… what the hell is that?

Oh, Lucy? ;D

Paulo need to fix the 300 fails he made whit jasmine , poor paulo =P

Poor Paulo indeed. Did David’s poster say Vote Communism?

I believe it did. But how would you do that in a school?
And that’s not Dave. That’s…

Chairman Meow.
Or Gor-bark-chev.
Or- *SMACK*
:(

It took me Tess to realize this was in color…

Vote Communism poster in the background?

Hey Tess! Where have you been!?

Haven’t seen Tess in a while… Welcome back Tess!!!!

Tess, quote to memorize. Ready?

“If nominated, I will not run. If elected, I will not serve.”
-William T. Sherman

I think I vote for David and the communist party.

Top right of panel 4….

Run, Tess, Run! And buy me some cookies on the way

Tessa yay!!

Huh, funny. Read this comic a lot and this is the first mention of McCain being a junior.

Why’s David for Communism in the middle pannel

Aw, poor Lucy…Look at her blush after Paulo leaves…

Oh, hi Tess. Haven’t seen you in a while, have we?

Hey tess is back, havent seen her in a few chapters

Lol, fight Communism….

I’d vote for David. >.>

Oheytesshowsitgoing.

lol “promote communism” poster.

PauloxJasmine is getting better page by page.

Also, Tess has pink hair? O.O

I still think Tess looked better with longer hair.

Also: Paulo looks 3 years older in panel four.

paulo is a piece of **** that deserves to die, that is all.

I love Sue’s ambition. Hey, real change doesn’t happen without someone pushing people around some, trust me.

I liked the longer hair more too, @Luke.

Sheesh @Thanatos, you need a chill suppository.

Paulo is my favorite character right now!

But I miss Daisy. She’s such a sweet girl.

I think it would be hilarious for David to run but if somehow he actually won, then I would be kinda scared.

Tess: What?

pauloXlucy forever!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

@ TotallyDrawn: I hate you. So much.

By the way, David’s “VOTE COMMUNISM” poster hasn’t gotten much attention.

Join Jasmine for treasury?That must be Sues job!

Vote communism? Is that David? And is that katies saying don’t trust this guy?

:D

Umm… I dont mean to sound stupid, but when did Tess cut her hair?

David for communism? LOL!
