Author commentary

Veronica: Kinda sad when you think you’ve got a much deeper friendship with a person than they think. Not really anyone’s fault in this situation, but it does seem like a dick move for James to have just.. not noticed Paulo all this time. How did you not? He’s so ORANGE

Maybe James just thinks Paulo looks like a generic somali… James genuinely didn’t pay attention! Too busy fawning over Mike’s running abilities!

A preview of the upcoming BCB page.

Ya know, I actually feel for Paulo when he's letting his heart out in a way that's not denigrating towards other people. I feel bad when he says "I gave myself to you!!" or now, when Mike's elevated status leaves him in the dust with regards to his own friendly coworker, James. I'm an Abbey stan but I can recognize when someone's unequivocally done Paulo wrong. That's when I'm able to forget about my own biases from growing up being harassed by boys like him.

Also I don't mean "that's rough bud" in a dismissive way, I just got distracted by the final panel partway thru my comment lol

I love them being such close friends. Paulo is vulnerable with Daisy, has been since the earliest chapters, and she accepts him.

Reminder that just working together doesn't automatically make you friends. We've never seen Paulo hang out with James outside of work, either. He could have told him he transferred, sure, but he may have had other stuff going on like, oh, suddenly having to work hard on the track team plus his job? Yeah it hurts, but you might not be his top priority, Paulo. No real hurry to seek you out since he sees you at work, and it is more fun to have this kind of surprise moment.

paulo's expression in the last panel is accurate.

Paulo's tail when startled is usually shown with zagged lines, but here it looks.. curly? Floofy? Reminds me of Daisy tbh, which is also funny considering she's mirroring his crossed legs here. I don't care about PauloxDaisy romance vs platonic friendship but I want them to be in each others lives forever, until old, on rocking chairs on the porch, watching the clouds and chatting about old times and their feelings.

ALSO... "Everyday Life", now in the freebie BCI section on the webpage, hints that Paulo may have a teensy crush on James. It's a cute chapter on many fronts.

Paulo: Soooo… does that mean you wanna be with me?

Daisy: No, I wanna to be with James.

Paulo: ARGHHHH!!!!

Daisy: (smiles)

I've felt this dialogue in the back of my mind but trying hard to ignore it.
