Veronica: Goodness, a lot of things were happening at the time this chapter was being updated. BCB was getting more and more attention so I was promoting it on Topwebcomics and encouraging people to review it and vote for it on various different websites and stuff, I was HUSTLING back in the day!

Look at me now, encouraging people to check out the Patreon and.. not much else. I’M OVER THAT KIND OF MARKETING..

Then again do pages like that have the same meaning these days? The webcomics world was different back in the late oughts and early 2010s.

Daww..that’s so cute. I always liked Paulo, even if he was a jerk in the beginning. It’s nice to see him be very adorable and sweet. The way that Lucy looked at Paulo when he said, in the last few panels made me really wonder, “Will Lucy ACTUALLY stop being sadface, get over Mike and go with Paulo?” I was always MikexLucy but now I’m starting to lean towards LucyxPaulo.

I’ve been reading these comics from start till now and I’ve been enjoying seeing the characters develop. You’re doing a nice job, Taeshi. Keep it up. ;

Also TBH, this is one of the few webcomics I’ll read, too. so yea. I’m really enjoying it~

I must admit, the last line made me snicker, since it came from Paulo.

You know, I wasn’t sure what I thought of David, but every time he says something I laugh. Hard. It’s just his personality, and I actually have a friend just like him. THREE GUESSES WHAT HIS NAME IS. Yeah.

It’s David.

But I’m interested to see what happens, and as much as I admire Mike for sticking by Sandy, I still hate his guts for being an ass to Lucy. And I wanna hurt Lucy for making it all more awkward than it should be. I’d also throw a few questions at Paulo. He’s being sweet and people are screaming OUT OF CHARACTER. He’s not that much of a playboy to hurt Lucy like that. Duh.
