In mike's description it says: " [...]that the girls who vie for his attention are[...]".
Or maybe I'm an ignorant who doesn't know the meaning of vie. If I am, anyone has the right to slap me. Including you, user #45931. You are also welcomed to enlighten me.

Vie is a word

I don't think you should be slapped for not knowing what "vie" means, but the fact you didn't take the time to check... Well, that doesn't exactly reflect well on you.

OR MAYBE YOU'RE AN IGNORANT WHAT. I'LL NEVER KNOW BECAUSE THAT ADJECTIVE IS NOT QUALIFYING ANY NOUNS.

This is adorable.

BCB teaches people new words <3

Hooked on Phonics? pshh, move on over for Hooked on BCB.

It's kinda like rosetta stone with verbal abuse.

You know, my nephew is still learning to read words and such, 1st grade, mayhaps a simple early reader's special chapter could be ordered? Hmm, and he has expressed interest in the characters.

uhhhhhhh

the comic isn't exactly an all-ages comic

it's sweet that he's interested in the characters but the content isn't very appropriate at all haha

the BCB word of the day is: embarrassment

C'est la vie.

It's not terribly inappropriate. A curse word here, a menstruation reference there, a little urine and sex scenes from which you pan away before showing anything explicit. I wouldn't care if kids of whom I was in charge read this, I just wouldn't encourage them to talk to the fans. (Read: me.) I guess what I'm saying is I think (aside from the cat people) it's a fairly realistic coming of age story that I'd encourage kids to read and, while I admit I could be wrong about this, it just doesn't strike me as something so obscene that I'd deem the content in any way inappropriate by-and-large.

it took my high school three years to block the website. that immediately falls under the category of "some of the students were having fun on this website and we can't allow that" as opposed to "someone said a bad word and wtf menstruation"
