Aaron’s a jerk even on bed LOL. What was Rachel doing when hugging Jessy?

Poor Rachel, poor Aaron, and poor Jess. I guess.

Page won’t show up so I’m going to have to wait like 5 min

9th? Oh man! Come on I was only a couple of seconds late.
Poor Rachel… kinda short though.

bawwww rachel
she broke down awful fast

This is not the Rachel we know and derive lulz from…

Emotions… can’t handle… them… GAH!

Uh-oh, could this be tess’s Boyfriend’s fault?

What a jerk

Dawwww

poor rachel.

also, I cant edit my comment up there for some reason (my IP changed, apparently) so sorry for spamming.

Poor Rachel is trying to be strong, it’s just so sad.

Now it looks obvious that Jess is going to take revenge.

STFU SushiJaguar.

she say “he” mmmmm…

It… It can’t be… Could it…

-stands up vigorously, insert generic explosion behind me-

Could it be… Mystic Eyes of Distortion?!

(Ah, references nobody will get.)

Grrr it won’t load on my iPod…..

Twentt-fifth!!!!!! W00t !!!!

Aww … she’s trying so hard to be strong. :’(

Won’t load!
GAAHH!!!

Don’t jump to conclusions yet people, the flashback isn’t done yet. We haven’t even gotten to the **** thing.

Haha, jokes on you, tough guy. Your in the hospital, oh wait…

Knew it was Roger/Tess

Also, asdfghjk. My top ten streak. Totally forgot it was an update night.

7-7-5-7-3-32

its sooooooooooooo sad, thats how i think my family was when i had to go to the hospital to go into surgery cuz of a tumor i had. the doc said it was like under my brain, and if we dont get it out soon i wouldnt b here now. lol but hey it was a success. so wat im tryi9ng to say is that i know wat shes going through.

Black ops & Elliot I know how you feel it’s horridle

Wow. Heartbreaking Rachel faces!

And holy hell Jess is tall.

……

;___; Rachiiiieee =(

I have a few theories on how this will go…… and they’re all very sad/depressing v_v;;

Christ, Roger, he was 12 years old. No wonder everyone hates you.

Well, “like twelve”. I don’t know what that equates to.

I am confused and disgruntled by “disaster dominos… And… Weirded OUT!!!!! Someone tell me what’s going on?

*sigh* I understand whats Rachel is going through, sometime
in everyone’s lives they will have a relative go to the hospital.
Sadly it’s an even worse feeling if they never checked out, and
believe me when you experience a loss its the worst feeling
you could have.

Wait a minute… did she say HE?!?!?!

@Parry: Tess use to be a guy

(Plays the world’s saddest violin) Tragic.

HOBBIT RACH

ooo early update, YAAAYYY I think…well last time I think it was like 20 minutes more before the comic came up and awwwww, poor kawaii rachel and jessy DX

uh oh! Jess is mad now guyz!! >:)

): Poor Aaron…I’d be angry too. Atleast we know Jess wasn’t ALWAYS a total bitch (unless of course she’s just not a bitch to Rachel)

Side note: I especially like how well-dressed Rachel is. Also, as much as I hate to see her sad, I’ve never witnessed Rachel in a morose state of mind. Something about seeing an otherwise care-free, happy-go-lucky character bogged down by tragedy and somberness seems more touching imo.

Darn unhelpful flashbacks…

…Always knowing what we don’t yet know, only to explain them in the next time….

@Wambyat From what we’ve seen, Jess is only a total bitch when Tess is concerned.

I’ve never seen Rachel so sad before…
its almost unlike her!

=_=
Roger… FEEL MY GLARE!!
=_=

More BAAAAAAAAAAWWWWW, eh, Taeshi? I’ll get my tear drinking mug.

Fun story, we always say of one of our friends ‘he’s, like, twelve’ to annoy the crap out of him. He always pouts and gets upset. IT’S GREAT FUN. So that line in the comic made me laugh out loud.

I wonder how these past events will catch up with the gang…especially when Augustus’ group finally makes their move.

Unless, of course, Lucy kills them all first.

OMEDETO but this only prevents them from commenting no?

Quick question about banning: Do you ban usernames, or ip addresses? (just curious how strict/effective the ban is)

Aww, hugs for everyone!

-nods-

Aaaand, SuitCase adds another to the pile!

-points at a heap of people banned from commenting-

“It’s the eye of the tiger”

Rawr says: someones gonna geta hurta

Holy crap! The principal’s gonna die! The only question is, who’s gonna shoot her?

I vote David.

Latest incentive made me laugh. Go vote and check it

@ Incentive: I bet it’s sue. Also, Poor Lucy. Atleast she can be with mikie in heaven.

incentive akchully was lawl

I’m guessing Final Fantasy Cat: the closest thing this comic has had to a villain.

i just noticed rachel has a damn big head

omgomgomg i have an idea on what’s gonna happen! (insert spoiler warning here perhaps?)

It was Tess’ ex boyfriend who hurt Aaron and now Jess wants to hurt the ex bf but this will not turn out well FOR TESS AND HER BF ARE DATING AUGHHH

im still confused about the incentive comic…
does it relate to the story or is it just some bonus “what if” thing?

And now for the reveal of who this jerk is that broke Aaron’s arm (as if we didn’t already know). I just hope what I think happens doesn’t happen…

aw i almost feel sorry for her

Poor Aaron… Poor Rachel… Poor principal… These days Taeshi sure likes us to get symphathetic.

@Anon
Do you seriously think the incentive is canon???

Now the battle begins… awesome…
@Suitcase eh… 2 emoticons count as spam?.. I used to post Paulo’s and Augustus’ emoticons its like a way to identify my posts =_=;;

Sorry for the double post, but I just had an idea…

Maybe it is a deranged (wonder if that’s how you spell it) Sue killing the principal!

@…
it’s not canon….
o_o
aaahhhh….

Rach, Jess, Aaron.. Thats so sad..

Was Taeshi depressed when she made the incentives? because from what I’ve seen and heard this is morbidly sad lol..depressing since I just read the whole comic and the characters have so much personality I think of them as a realistic person anyway only 2 more to go, I’ll stick it out.

thanks to not being around on the week end i missed out on a main part of the incentive all i know is that a lot of people died after mike T_T

i think disater dominoes can be a aside arc o alternative world special comic in the store because is yus wonderful O.o

@incentive
Why do I get the feeling the one holding the gun is Sue?
It’s like: “See, this all happened because I wasn’t elected as Secretary!”

Only other person it might be is David who was just pretending to be crazy.

He?
Hmm…
Tess’s old (Due to flashback: Current) boyfriend?

awww rachel’s soo short

I do think it’s Sue holding the other end of the gun though.

Oh that is so sad if i could use emoticons i would cry;_;

Awwww I want to give Rachel a big hug before holding her and stroking her head till she feels better. Then beat the tar out of Tess’s *present time* ex-Boyfriend

@ Juria 1990
Smooth thinking….

Poor Rachel…

sue holds the gun, and i bet she’s ****-crazy

Man….I really want to know Tess’ role in this incident. She feels pretty damn guilty right now it has to be something significant.

I think I’ve figured out Tess’ role in what happened to Aaron. Remeber the event awhile back when Tess described her HORRIBLE ex-boyfriend Roger and all the stuff he did to OTHER kids…;)

Poor Rachel…but I have to admit, I always liked this hairstyle of hers better, the curly one looks kind of weird…

@incentive: omg he has a gun run!!!!!!D:

*gasp* An eye dart! That’s never a good sign!
Rachel is now officially off my antagonist list.

Right but what did Tess do? Did she help? Or is she just guilty by association?

because of Roger?

Incentive: McCain is about to take over

Draaamaa poor Rachel. Holy crap, either someone is small or someone is tall. Or both.

I love how on EVERY new page, theres at least one comment from a person confused by the incentive.

@DFA: I know. I keep wondering if they’re new readers, they were reading but missed pages, or they haven’t kept up and for some reason just randomly decided to start voting. (probably because of all the talk of ‘OMG what’s wrong with the incentive?!’)

Damn Taeshi, I think you might want to make it so people can’t post for the first 10-12 hours a comic is up. Maybe people’d sound less stupid if they had time to think before they spoke

Can’t wait to see how D.D. ends.

Man Rachel is short in this flashback, must have had quite a growth spurt down the road.

Awww… So sad… I acually feel bad for her…

aww Racheeel

Good comic, love the emotion in it. :3

Should throw McCain in with a revolver, though. Have him go all Bruce Willis on whoever did that to Aaron.

Agreed.

It seems the incentive may end on a non-cliffhanger note.

B’aww :’( What have he done?*

* - I was glad when I read that a he had done something - so it wasn’t directly Tess

Epic depressing page for my birthday! w00t… -_-

Thanks Taeshi.

firts time that a dog is more big than a cat.
also, who’s the stupid that did that stuff to aaron? :’(
he looks soo sad…

@Lolllama: Thank you, someone else who remembers!

Also, why are people so shocked to hear that Rachel’s smart? there’s a difference between booksmarts and ditziness…. and I think Rachel falls into the middle. I think she’s like Daisy, who’s a genius but also incredibly naive.

So I’m guessing ‘he’ is Roger. And Jess is ****** because Tess let him break the kid’s arm. So that means he either had an enormous amount of control over her, or she really was a total b*tch. And while I’m rambling on here, I can’t help but think FF Cat, in reference to his exchange with Lucy and his past treatment of Daisy resulting in a temporary transformation of her personality, is perhaps related to Roger. It sounds like they both like to push girls around and turn them into their wicked little sirens….Hate it when I try to start figuring out things before they’re shown.

After reading this comic I feel kinda bad about thinking Rachel and Jess are total *****. They still are kinda but it’s just a little different seeing this side of them. Doing what they did out of spite is just never the way to get pay back.

Edit: I meant to say there was a difference between being blunt and being ditzy. Somewhere during writing my post that got messed up.

So we’re finally getting to see what tess was like before the BCB group showed up. But i still wonder what FF cat meant by tess wasn’t being true to herself chapters ago

I don’t get it…. why’s she so much shorter? o-o

Racheal sure is a lot shorter than Jessica lol

Aaaaaw… Poor Rachel. And here I was thinking she was a huge jerk. Experiences like that can really mess people up. Anyway, why did Tess ever like Roger? He was a really bad person, and she made a horrible choice in ganging up with him

wow… this is getting sad. poor rach… (never thought i would say that) as for the incentive, WTF?!?! all of the main characters killed?!?! (sides david, whos even more cukoo?) and yourself?!?! wait, is the principal even suposed to be you taeshi?

*checks in every day the comic updates* Oh look interesting drama, *realizes it’s only Wednesday* FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-

aww poor rachel.
and i cant believe i didnt realize it was her till now. O.o

awwz Rachel

one word for incentive….. it is f>:Oed up

awwwwwhz

Ohh, I know where this is going…

I wanna give Rachel a big hug

………….dude…………….*sniff*………….sad…….bwhaaaaa

Of all my friends. I’m the only one to think Rachel is cute. Anyways, so Jess had something to do with this? How?!

ITS JUST A BROKEN ARM

*Oki
Jess didn’t do anything, it was probably Tess’s boyfriend Roger or Tess. Cause in an old chapter Rachel yelled at Tess saying “Can you unbreak his arm?!” Or something like that.

Rach I’ll give you a hug

I’m liking that hugging…

The incentive scares me, but not as much as the red text on the comment thingy.
Still a good idea tho. *thumbs up*

I’m thinking it was FFCat who broke his arm, I just don’t see Tess hurting someone like that, y’know?

Cast your votes, folks! WHO SHOT THE PRINCIPAL?!

I think you should make this a daily webcomic… but IDK, maybe your buissier than you seem

why did tess even date roger, she basically put herself in trouble.

sooo curious about both stories ;-;

Omnomasaur she is busy (school and work plus the time going everywhere) if she could make it daily she would but at the moment if it went daily it would look (I’m guessing here) like the incentive and tae don’t want that

My theory is that Roger hurt the kid, but then Tess actually broke his arm. It makes sense.

@incentive I don’t think it’s sue wiu the gun,but it could be. Lucy will live, and WTH is Tess?!!?!>:O

@D. In R. actually I asked Taeshi and I am pretty sure she already finished the comic and is just having the pages upload on a schedule. Then again I could be wrong.

I’ve been reading like 15 chapters a day and I can’t get used to having to wait now.

Bob she may have this chapter done but I doubt it last I heard she has 30 pages ready to be released or something like that but she doesn’t have the whole comic done (I know this because she didn’t even know how long this chapter would be and she had to change it from 30 to 50)

I can’t vote for 5 days, going to a school trip today :’( and ends on 28th Feb

@D. In. R. Ah ok, well I’m gonna stop talking about it now. Don’t want them to think I’m turning comments into a chat room =/

Anyone else think the faces from the pencil pages are the best there is just something about the personality of those faces that can’t be created with color my proof up to bat page one panel 12 Lucy is just so cute (this really is the only reason I can’t give these pages a 10.0 I mean I like the faces but they were better to me in the begining) but these faces look more human so they get connection points uugh i’m so torn about which are better

Disaster Dominoes: EVERYBODY’S DYING OMG!!!

I see were this story is going. T- 65 days till I check in again

why just why i will put it nicely ” cough cough” HE HATES EVERY ONE there i said it and Tess well i think she might be involved don’t know yet

@D in R

I know what you mean, but the colored pages are nicer looking overall.

Plus, when the colored pages started showing up I think it was about ch40, the summer comics, which is when a bunch of new drama started to develop.

It’s like the colors actually mean something other than looks.

@incentive

I can totally see Sue holding the gun in the next page and saying “this is what happens when I don’t become secretary”

Also, just 25 hours and 12 minutes until the incentive is over! The end is near!

Just went back to double check, and you’re right, it had it’s own special personality.

And then I got sucked into the old archives, and laughed a lot.

“Why do you still wear that dinky bow anyway?”
“Because she needs reassurance that’s she has a ******!”
“SHUT UP!” *Yashy gets punted for the first time*

Ok, im done talking for now, I will be back in one hour to talk about the incentive~

Yes, I am a new reader. So please excuse me for not understanding how commenting works on this site…

I had just finished reading up to the latest chapter last week (awesome comic btw taeshi)
and the incentive just caught me off guard…

Won’t happen again, I swear.

For anyone who wants to know (sorry for the double comment)

ROflmao @incentive, looks like someone was right!! it was Mccain taking over

@Taeshi, well don’t say you will quit doing the comic while in uni since it is still a form of income and if you stop updating the comic, I doubt people will get BCI.

Who said McCain? Whoever it was, you’re awesome!

wait, I see “end” but also only 32/33. Im extra excited to see Fridays incentive. The main comic too of course.

@Taeshi Sorry, I misinterpretted it then, and yea I don’t think giving buffers (I think I know what that means) out to people in advance since it would mean, a longer wait period and people turning away, sort of like that twokinds comic, it updates like once every two weeks if your lucky, anyway stayed up for the incentive, good night everyone! =D

McCain made even more awesome with a gun

@Incentive: HOLY CRAP I DID NOT EXPECT THAT AT ALL.

gunslinger McCain = awesome.

well if it were me my final words would be “shut it… McCain.”

Im very confused as to why i started reading this when im depressed and finally when i get to the latest update… Wow nothing is better. Main characters are mad and sad.

WHY DID I READ THIS NOW HURRY UP AND FIX THIS AUGH

Game Over
McCain Wins

Incentive = awesomeness
I wasn’t expecting that.

Incentive: Haha! Love it!

McCain! Best incentive ending ever!

HAHA!! YES!! I am so happy right now!! Go McCain!! Taeshi if I could hug you in person right now I would!!

@ incentive: McCain + gun + an actual appearance = Epic win

though seriously, I did not see that coming, McCain’s the most sane character in the entirety of BCB!

Incentive comic: WHAT A TWEEST! Taeshi, you just made me a McCain fan!

But wait, if that’s the end, why is there still one more page?

The Incentive Comic is so epic! Everybody is dead and now McCain is just WOW! AWESOME!

Jess in the last page looks like she’s gonna kill whoever did this

Shock! It was Mcain

are you sure M. Night shaymalan didnt come up with the incentive?

shut it, mccain. gosh.

hmmm… drama within drama, coments are for fun, not predicting the end of this comic world as we know it…

incentive: HOLY CRAP!! PLOT TWIST!!:O

Hmm, more consequence-less assault, eh?

SHUT IT, MCCAIN

Best. Incentive. Comic. Ending. EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!

Incentive: But…It says this is page 32 out of 33 at the top of the page so how is that the ending?

cry yourself to sleep
8-D
Tell people to stop being little bitches

Incentive: Ahahahahahahaha, Taeshi just completed lots of people’s lives with that final panel.

incentive: page 32 of 33… another epilouge page? McCain, youse crazy.

Somehow McCain managed to become even MORE awesome.

I’n not surprised about McCain being the lone, no-longer-sane voice here, lol.

Though, if I had to guess, that last incentive…will be far more awesome than just this, I feel it.

Tae I guess what I was trying to find out is if you are trying to make the faces more full of emotion

Anonymous2 yeah I know how you feel

and yes I called it first (I think) it was McCain

McCain with a gun going on a homicidal killing spree? Awesome.

I think I love McCain more than I did before!

Awesome incentive comic, Tae! Can’t wait to see what’s on page 33!

The best part about the incentive is that all that crazy, random death that hit the main characters happened without any help from McCain. Unless he sent those assassins at ****** in which case it’s kinda his fault

ok… wha???

so the boyfriend hurt the brother?!

i dont get it…

no, seriously, i have no idea whats going on! (besides this is a memory in Lucys party…)

OMG, I was NOT expecting McCain to be holding the gun lol

I like Bacon

@ incentive, McCain’s got an M1911, that’s a good pistol

I know its not canon, and I feel kind of a jerk for finding school shooting funny, but that was the best ending to an incentive arc yet!!!

Wow, so it WAS McCain. Strangely enough, the only thing I can think of is whether or not Sue will be spared or if she’s doomed like all the others. Probably a stupid question, but still….

Sort of wish the Incentive had some sort of silver lining… Oh well…

@ SmashFiles

*cheesy line commencing*
“There’s always a silver lining….you just got to believe….believe….”
:D

I have a weird feeling this is Augustus’s fault. But I might be wrong. It could be anybody.

And we once again continue our studies of how Tess became the school’s biotch. -3-

twc down again…

I just realised that I have no idea at all at what will happen next.

I’m pretty sure what happened to Aaron was Roger’s fault. Though Tess might have had a hand in it as well.

It was Rogers fault and Tess was there. Look back at Chapter 34 “Bonding” for reference.

Freakin top web comics!!! they (twc) needs to do something!!

god damn…i never expected Alec to pull a gun up to him
besides that, he looks so boss

Actually..I think someone said the principals a girl.

McCain just won the entire frickin’ incentive.

Does anyone else notice the kind of gun McCain is using?

wait… he’s obviously untrained in how to handle guns, cuz he’s holding it wrong… unless he isn’t planning on pulling the trigger?

LOL frickin McCain.

Vote Incentive: McCain. .? Wow Lol. .

Page: Wow Rachel Is Short. . o.o
But Awesome Job Tae

McCain? it all makes sense

rachel looks better the way she is on this page, without the styled “hair”.

the incentive is about where everything goes horribly wrong, and as horrid as it could be. thus, everyone awesome dies, and everyone stupid goes ****-crazy, and then Mc.Cain becomes president… what do you know… then everyone gets turned into zombies, and some other stuff

I really hope talking about how the incentive pages make us ROFL LOL doesn’t get us banned.

Where the hell did McCain get a gun from anyway?

The last page of the incentive had me dieing. Hahahaha.

McCain dresses the part and was always quiet, this is hardly surprising but it is well executed.

Curious that it says the end but there’s one more page… hmm.

McCain for the win! Lol

Drama queen Aaron!

McCain was the silent one. you always look out for the silent ones.
also, i wonder what the apparent epilouge page will be… i actually half expected the gun weilder to be Sue. i mean, she did just suffer from six if ger friends’ deaths (several of which were caused by ******), and saw Lucy comit suicide! It shocked me to see McCain, but i also kinda expected it after i saw.

Mc Cain has always been badass to me.
Now he’s even more Badass

@Nigh_Towl, What makes you think it’s the last page?

McCain has always been my favorite character next to Carter. He has just gotten more awesome!

@Ahroo he means the last page posted not the very last page of it all

The sheer, unabashed awesomeness of the climactic incentive page is so great that I must register my favorable opinion thereof with my very first comment.

Or, to put it another way: DUDE, SWEET.

Well dang it McCain…:/

Mind = Blown.
I did not even begin to contemplate of thinking of ruminating that the mysterious guy would be McCain.

Aww emotional moment for the girls:(

I bet the last page of the incentive will be sandy dying in a horrible, horrible way.

Sooo tired..cannot stay up for the incentive >.< gonna have to get up bright and early in the morning then!

Gawd is today sobby weepy day or what,also someone said something about McCain and mysterious guy wtf is that now i wish i knew this incentive

I understand where Rach is comin from, if ANY1 even OBAMA hurt my lil bro i’d kill em with my bare hand’s, or get some HARDCORE REVENG! i aint jokin.

If anyone laid a hand on my little brother, I’d ****ing kill him/her. That goes for any of my siblings, even the ones far older than me.

….hic?

I can understand having a hate on for someone because they hurt someone you care about. Especially a bully.

But even that would fade over time if the person showed change.

What can I say, I have a need to be fair to people.

So bullies get away with breaking a 12 year old child’s arms?
