Accountability Buddy — Page 7

Author commentary

Veronica: I imagine Haley making a really high-pitched condescending voice in panel four.. god that’s so hard to visualise. Like when you’re repeating something a person you hate said but in a mocking way.

A preview of the upcoming BCB page.

Wow, Haley really hasn’t noticed the change in Mike’s behavior AT ALL.

Does that mean Mike is doing a really good job hiding his depression from his family? Or is her resentment over their unequal treatment making it hard to feel compassion right now?

I hope it’s the former, and I REALLY want to know when, exactly, Mike/Haley/Chris EVER get to see their dad.

All that acting experience from Curtain Call is really paying off for Mike

It seems more likely her resentment to being considered the “lesser” child is making her act out of spite.

Also noting that night when he came home in eternal flame, he was right back to talking to Sandy. So from her perspective making it was just another one of his temporary outbursts.

Yikes this really just shows how well he’s been hiding his depression. I’m telling you he’s gonna crack get the call ready!

I’m glad she has friends around. It must be lonely to constantly be in someone elses shadow. These kids are both in bell jars just for different uses when rung.

More proof towards my theory that the Table is some kind of black hole or lightning rod that absorbs everyone else’s family drama

“He didn’t do anything wrong.” - Haley on Mike.

You heard it here first; Complete Vindication for Mike stans everywhere.

Mike is doing a REALLY good job hiding everything from his family.

I’m relieved that Haley doesn’t hate Mike.

Also you’re not gonna find Mike inside, Abbey….

Something tells me Abbey (and reluctantly maybe Haley), will go on a quest to find Mike. Except they won’t like what they see at the end……

Yeah I sure hope she doesn’t find Mike inside Abbey…

I think it goes to show how easy it is to not even know what’s going on in someone’s life. Even your own family/sibling. And I would like to add I’m not dissing Haley, I’m stating that her portrayal of Mike is tainting her image of him even though she can admit he’s done nothing to her.

But I would like to say that it’s ironic she does say “he’s perfect.” When he’s probably the least perfect out of a lot of his friends. He gets angry, vindictive, sometimes physical. He defended a girl he thought was worth his entire life and energy only for it to fall apart. He’s made so many mistakes towards Lucy, Paulo, Daisy, etc… and she doesn’t know that because she never has talked to him on an individual level. (Vice versa of course). It just goes to show how communication can be so important. But when you’re a teenager that’s usually the last thing on your mind lol.

Yeeess, let the pettiness flow through you, Haley!! I’m so glad that you dontactually hate your brother or anything, and your bitterness towards your parents is valid! I just hope you and your older bro will see eye to eye someday soon, you deserve to be each other’s shoulder to lean on, especially if there’s a nasty divorce around the corner!!!

Yes Haley, he’s perfect, as in he’s perfectly rooting away

One thing I really love about BCB is they don’t forget everyone’s, even the background characters, personal struggles. Haley feels so real and relatable here! It’s rough when a sibling always seems to take center stage, and that because your problems aren’t “big” enough they matter less.

Haley, utilize Cassidy and her emotional intelligence as a flat observer.

Her low emotional thresholds shall aid you in your drama.

Cassidy: Why me?

Mina: Uhhh… Because you’re the smart one, that’s why.

Cassidy: ……

How the freak did I forget that Mike is outside now?? Can Abbey get through to him??

Probably not.

*But* you never know!
