Bittersweet Candy Bowl

HAHA.

Augustus’ face in that second to last panel had me chuckling. Dr. Augustus’ Therapy Corner.

Oh and Mike hasn’t changed, and or Lucy, but i’m sure by the end he will.

“I thought I told you to SHH”

Wanna bet they end up with an awful grade on their project?

INTERVENTION!

THERAPY TIME?
Augustus, Y U SO?

Woooow mike -.-

Waiting for a background poster that says STFU or ELSE.

Augustus x Lucy pl0x? 8D Go away Mike, go snuggle with Sandy.

IT’S A TRAP!!! Don’t listen to him Lucy! He’s evil!

well there goes the Augustus good vibe, not that i don’t agree with him, i simply doubt that he said that because he wants to see Lucy and Mike make up. Love the poster, again. i guess these are gonna be angry pages for a while at least, which is good cause i love angry pages. also I’m guessing that is some foreshadowing to Lucy and Mike getting snowed into the library together. but maybe not idk. thanks for the page Taeshi.

I really have to agree with Augustus here…

And now everyone is happy that someone is going to yell at Lucy to get over mike.

Augustus looks sexy like that. :I *shot*

I have a strong feeling Lucy rage will be making an appearance somewhere in this chapter

She has her “Killing spree” face.

Screw what I said about Mike being depressed, he’s just being a dick.

Maybe FF cat will just lock those 2 in a closet for a couple of days.

Either shes gonna deck him in his no-nos, hes gonna get Mike and Lucy to have an intervention, or hes gonna corrupt Lucy even further. Tune in next time for Bittersweet Candy Bowl.

Mike continues his attempt to dethrone Tess as master of all jerkfaces.

Whats the equivalent of kicking puppies when puppies are children? Maybe he’ll do whatever that is next.

Seems like Augustus has already checked out several other books related to one he was returning.

:0 oh no he didn’t

Nows a good time for David and his random trolling.

I can smell the falcon punch. Damn you Augustus, I thought you might actually be useful. Double falcon punch awaits.

Wow, that poster in the background is aware that there is talking in the library. I wonder what Final Fantasy Ca- …err I mean Augustus is planning.

Well that’s not weird. Not at all.

I bet Lucy’s really sad and angry at the same time or have mixed feelings

So who’s getting their *** kicked Mike or Augustus, or both?

Agustus has a point, they hate to talk it out, or lucy can just beat the crap out of him like the good ol days :3

Wait for it -swoop- intervention? lol

Augustus looks a bit evil there.

Lucy should probably do the paper on her own or something. Same with Mike. She needs to get away from both of them.

maybe mike wanted to hear that she wants to work with him instead of her just wanting a good grade. That probably made her even more distrusting and distasteful in mike’s eyes. That might just be me

agustus reminds me of sherlock homes for some reason in the last panel…

oh dear i got a “comment needs more meat to it” page, well… uhhh *loosens collar* Lucy obviously wants to get this over with as soon as possible, for mikes sake (i would say FINALLY getting the hint… but after that outburst in class it was painfully obvious), mike seems to be feeling like crap not to much reflection on his actions it seems, must be on his man period (they exist) and agustus seems to be trying to be a pompous ***** and that is incredibly amusing

Posters going to ask next “why U no STFU?”

Punch him, Lucy! Punch him in his Augustus-y face!

Lol augustus has got a troll face. He’s like, “LOL PROBLEM?

I just wanted to take a moment to say that I love the art on this page. Wonderful job.

Um… uhh… Lucy is about to blow up in Augustus’ face… JUST PUNCH HIM PLEASE!

I actually have to agree with Gussie on this one. He hit the nail right on the head. Sure he’s a douche, but he’s brutally honest. I’m sure Lucy knows he’s right, as does Mike though he would deny it. Lucy, you really should at least listen to his advice.

And am I the only one to notice a slight antihero complex when it comes to Augustus

By the way guys.

“I thought I told you to SHHH!”

I really like this art style, it seems to add a lot more expression to the characters.

RAAAAAGEEEE e.e

I don’t know why, but Lucy’s face in the last panel really caught my eye. Does anyone else agree with me?

Honestly, I’m in love with the new art style now. At first, I didn’t like it at all, but now I’m just like “OHMAHGAH” every single time I see a new page.

In other news, I can actually see Mike changing a little bit right now. It seems that most people are overlooking panels 3 and 4, where you can clearly see that he’s struggling with his emotions. He seems to mostly be mad at her, but has anyone had that feeling where you were mad at someone, and you finally find a reason to not be mad anymore, yet you continue to act ****** for no good reason? (I’m not sure how much sense that last sentence made xD) I’m almost certain that that’s what’s happening with Michael right now. His ears would NOT have gone down if he was still legitimately mad. Plus, you can see that when Lucy said “I just want a good grade. That’s all”, he seemed hurt, but is still being somewhat overtaken by anger. He’s definitely seeing her point, albeit a little slowly.

Lucy is doing exactly what I think she SHOULD’VE been doing this whole time. Guilt trips are fun, especially when you’re imposing them on other people. Instead of being desperate for his attention, she should have tried to reason with him and guilt him into seeing how wrong he is. And that’s exactly what she’s doing now.

The one thing that really confuses me right now is why she’s mad at Augustus. I mean, the only conceivable reason that I can personally see is that she’s being defensive about her ability to handle the situation, and is getting mad at him for telling her that she’s going about it all wrong. Is that safe to assume? xD

: sounds like you need to have a long and serious talk about your relationship.
: die mother****er!

@Qsandas I agree, when it comes to those types of characters a lot of authors fail to portray them correctly and they end up being just plain bad guys or villains, but Augustus makes a perfect Anti-Hero.

Lucy has the look ‘I’m going to tear your face off if you don’t back off’ kind of look.

Whoa! Final fantasy meets Cheshire with Augustus over there! But man, Mike is really anger for something that was his fault. And Lucy has no right to be upset with his dick-like attitude. If none of yall couldnt tell this was all sarcasm. I mean, what do you gain out of this , Mike? This isnt cool at ALL!!!

i mentioned it once before, but i don’t know of more than one person saw it… this comic would make a really good animated series with voice acting.

i think it’d be pretty entertaining, if it was done right, of course.

also, just to remind people… so far, augustus has only ever gotten his *** kicked from what we’ve seen, he wouldn’t be able to harm mike if his life depended on it.

mike on the other hand, has done alot of ***-kicking, even against older, stronger opponents like the rapist in chapter 12… while he was drunk, no less.

only time mike got his *** kicked really, was the five or six times veronica decided to overdo that unfunny joke with paulo calling mike a cheater and ordering a group of girls to jump him from out of nowhere.

… This guy LIVES satire.

This new style makes them look more mature, but I’m not to sure its actually true.

Augustus has a Troll face and Lucy wants to punch him.

Granted I do a little.

I don’t like where he’s going with this…!

You know, I get that Lucy treated Mike badly for a long time and that he’s angry about that, but he’s being a real ******* to her and it’s making me want to punch him. She’s been trying to be civil and he’s just been mean to her and AUGH I want to hit him.

Not that I’m complaining about the writing; I think it’s brilliant. I just kinda wanna hurt the character right now.

Why is it that the only males we’ve seen in this chapter so far are all **********. What is this.

LoL First panel. The sign in the back.

“I thought I told you to SHHOOSH

@Ali Augustus isn’t a dick. He’s brutally honest. There’s a difference xD

And also, while Mike does seem like a dick, you can tell that he’s wrestling with his emotions right now. I’m pretty sure he’ll be coolio with Lucy by the end of the chapter.

Again, My name is Mike and I’M a douche.

Uhoh, now is the moment. Will this be the ultimate turning point for Lucy?

(OR JUST MORE ANGST.)

..WHAT’S THIS? AN EMOTION FROM MIKE THAT’S NOT ANGER OR JEALOUSY? HALLEFREAKINGLLUJAH!
seriously though, that’s pretty interesting. he seems to be showing slight signs of regret…especially when she said she just wants a good grade. sorta looks like he feels hurt or something
seems odd since he’s made it clear he wants nothing to do with her…either way this is interesting ^^
on the other hand Augustus had turned into a chesire cat
INTERVENTION TIME!

Yeesh all u mike haters gotta quit it, lol. Have any of you even noticed the role change in al of this? Lucy used to be the bitch towards the person in love, but now mike is in the drivers seat. Tell me I’m not the only one noticing this change.

Man Agustus creeps me the **** out!

Aaaaaaand this is when he shows up~

What is up with that picture in the news post? Is it something from Australia, or just a joke I don’t get?

I’m calling it; I know what the next page is going to be.

Forward, down, down, forward, punch - SHORYUKEN!!!!

BITE HIS HEAD OFF O^O TELL HIM OFF LUCY TELL HIM OFFFF.
Mike that is, not Augustus :’D she should give him a piece of her mind at least ONCE. >^< he really does need it to get through his thick skull. x.x

Thx Taeshi! This page looks amazing! I am new in BCB world, but i read alll the pages from the begining! I am addicted to this cartoon! . Oh, and thx SuitCase ……P.S. God, Mike looks really hurt and angry at the same time

Aaaand Mike’s a jerkity-jerkface. Again. Oh, and hurray for me having totally hovered over this site for MONTHS and finally saying something!

~Akashi Tatsuyoshi~

she’s charging her AYU BEAM!!!

Please…. Please…
No Lucy x Augustus…. He sucks
On an unrelated note, the best part of this chapter so far is the posters. More David will fix this.

Mike should forgive and forget….this teen angst sucks. Lucy should just keep being Lucy for now.

Where`s Dr. Phil when you need em.

Doc Augustus. * ^* ♥

This comic constantly reminds me why i just stayed in the back ground in high school and why i avoided the other “normal” people

I’m beginning to like Augustus with Lucy. They’re both snarky. Kinda fits. Still wish Paulo would get back with her Otherwise my eleven second animation on youtube won’t be canon xD

He has a point; Lucy definitely lost her edge when dealing with mike, while he is always very sharp with her now.

Mike needs to grow a pair and stop being such a weenie. Really. And Augustus needs to mind his own biz, lol. Lucy looks like she’s ready to slap a b*tch.

Great, beautiful art :]

If Mike were to meet an unfortunate accident involving a pair of hedge clippers and during said accident lose a pair of endocrine glands, found on the lower body of male mammals, would he still be a dick?

I’m preaty shure those two need ”counceling”, but not so shure it should be from him

@Radiat Yes. Mike is just that good at what he does.

I have a bad feeling about this “relationship” fixing problem.
>.< Goddamit!!!
Mike and Lucy should probably talk all nicely… I just hope they don’t end up in yelling at each others… -___-
Oh & btw: love the Shhhhhh part :p lol

Oh, dear. The first Lily isn’t me, just saying.

Woah, was I the only one being utterly pleased, when Lucy called him a jerk? It was almost like the good old times, except for the fact that he is such a meanie.
I really hope for both of them, that Lucy stands up for herself and yell a little at him. Gosh, does he deserve that after all this. I mean, why is he still mad?

I love how Augustus ignore the tension and just go all in with his provoking nature, haha. But I sence some seriously angry Lucy in the future. Beware, Mike and Augustus. Heh.

Is it too much to ask for a bookshelf to fall and squish Mike flat? Or for an earthquake to occur and collapse the roof on him? Or for some robbers to hold the library hostage and shoot him as an example?
Or at LEAST for him to get a papercut which gets infected and hospitalizes him …
… Uh, btw, I’m not the same Shada as the first one up there …

Wow the fans reactions to a character are so strange. I doubt my question will be answered, but how many months in cannon has this been going on? It felt like almost a year now with “angry” Mike and well boring things tend to happen when over stayed their welcome.

lol Augustus now you will get it for saying relationship and mike and lucy arent geting along comeone you two grow up you have a essey dam it

Lucy.. just… punch him, okay?

Isn’t she always?

The facial expressions are excellent on this page. I really like it!

Damned Augustus!

I’m gonna kill’em if he ever was “real”

Awesome update as always!

I’m starting to like this guy.

Yes, yes you do

Lucy’s thinking, “Shoryuken!”
Mike is thinking, “This project blows.”
Augustus is thinking, “Maybe I can get some if I act concerned!”

Man, reading through the comments sections for this webcomic is like being back on Gaia.

Hmmm, if only Carter was here. He would save the day, darn you Taeshi for killing him off! He would be of so much use now!

Augustus is think of what he can get from this

I don’t think I’ll EVER stop imagining Augustus like that!!!

Use the book bag, Lucy….use it now….on both of them. Mostly Mike please.

Needs a LUCY PAWNCH! next panel

can i kill Augustus please? seriously he’s such a jerk. he messed with daisy and now he’s messing with lucy. he needs to be knocked down a couple times.

Angry Lucy is angry

Augustus and Mike both need a beating. But I agree, Lucy and Mike need to talk.

If this is heading in the direction i think it it (the creeper getting socked), then i like where this is going… >:)

Oh god, that expression of FF cat Is like, sexy. *shot*

I agree that Lucy and Mike should have a talk, and Mike needs to stop being a huge dick. I mean, if he was nicer, it would be better between them (unless Lucy decided to be a jerk again) and MAYBE they’d at least be friends. I mean come on Mike and Lucy, theres a such thing as being mature if you don’t wanna be mature then Mike, go snuggle with your precious Sandy while Lucy is foreveralone being picked on by Augustus (not a good thing)

That last panel was very “Lucy.” (y)

I can’t wait to see who ****s up what this chapter.

Augustus

Final Fantasy Cat, buzz off!! Nobody likes you!!

claw his eyes out Lucy

Angel on Lucy’s Shoulder: Get away from me idjit
Demon on Lucy’s Shoulder: Haha! The angel hates your guts~

Hah, Dr. Augustus is in the library waiting for your therapy session. (Cause he likes to talk about feelings SO much. 9___9)

Lucy, Mike! What did those posters tell you? SHHHH!

I can just imagine the librarian walk in and go “SHHHHH!” :3

Lucy : “sound’s like you need to be punched in the face.”

@ Monnaniverse: I’ve been thinking the same thing since Page 3!

I love Augustus the more i see him!

Maddening really. I hope she doesn’t go berzerk on the poor dolt in teh middle of the library.

Isn’t he talking into her deaf ear?

Keep pushing them buttons, Augustis…keep pushing them….

Lucy’s face on the last panel is just PERFECT anger expression. I love this comic so much.

Wow mike u sure seem surprised yes mike she wants a grade girls don’t want u 24/7


Also EPIC mad face Lucy

Daaammnnnn lucy looks like she’s going to murder someone

Righto, time to call the dogfort to surpress the incomming naval cat attack, if that submarine submerges, we’ll be in a **** load of trouble.

And here I thought Augustus was becoming less of a villain lol
Look at that face! He’s positively brimming with cartoonish evil!

I dont think I can trust Augustus’ advice….
Especially with those eyes…

When Lucy makes that face, it is highly likely that someone is going to be dead by the start of the next chapter. LUCY IS THE CHUCK NORRIS OF BCB!

I hope that the snow builds up and seals mike lucy and ffc in the library, giving them time to talk

Okay I’m a little confused now.. oAo How long has Mike been faithful to Sandy? Because in that process he got over Lucy I guess? So should he really be mad if she finds interest in say… Paulo? I mean Lucy could find someone else considering how many people are around.

Yeah. Lucy will kill Augustus now. He will die for his impertinence. lol

Another nice page of a nice and interesting chapter.
I really don’t know where this chapter is going though…

The drawings are very good. I previously commented when you first used this style and said it’s still a little rough. It looks much better now, you really improved in this style.

Regarding Augustus:
I guess you either like or hate him, but you really can’t say he doesn’t say the truth. He just says what he wants even when the other one doesn’t want to hear it.

Maybe I’ve been watching too much Doctor Who recently, but that face totally says “Ex-ter-mi-nate” to me.

Lucy is the Supreme Dalek (going by the New Paradigm Daleks… aka: “Mighty Morphin’ Dalek Rangers”)…

Scary Lucy is Scary… and needs to put Mike in his place. He’s just a major jerk anymore.

How is Mike being a jerk here? He’s getting books so they can do the essay.

@ Juicebox

It’s not about what he does as much as it’s how he does it. He’s treating her bad.

So I’ve decided that Mike has moved on to just being in an overall sour mood (you know those days when you’re ****** at everything for particularly no reason and you have a hard time getting over it?), and now Augustus has butt in with his unwanted two cents.

As usual. But he’ll get his words in and probably give Lucy something to think about (whether she wants to or not. )

And I just saw that little trick on the FAQ page. Very clever. I approve ^-^

That’s right Mike, toss your backpack in a huff and walk away like the little prissy whiner you are,meh.

Gus… how Lucy despises you.

I don’t at all see how Mike’s being a jerk *here*. He’s just going to get what they need to actually do work. I know some of you just like reiterating that you hate Mike on every page (even when he’s not actually on that particular page) but Christ, your knee-jerk reflexes are incredibly annoying. Could you please shut up and talk about the actual page?

Aug has his major ********* face on and is going to get Lucy angry and likely cause her to yell at Mike and cause more DRAMAAA~

BECAUSE WE DIDN’T HAVE ENOUGH IN THIS COMIC

I understand the fact Mike was getting sick of Lucy, but he doesn’t have to HATE her for loving him! They could’ve just tried to talk it out, Lucy just needed to get a grip. THAT WAS ALL. Seriously, now Mike is treating her like dirt just because she confessed she loved him? What?!? I think Lucy should tell him that he has no right to hate her, they’ve had just as many good times as bad, and Mike is just being an idiot for acting like its her fault. Yeah, she didn’t appriciate him as much as she should’ve, but thats a pretty easy problem to fix. Stop being an *** Mike.

Am I the only one here who thinks Mike’s feelings and actions towards Lucy, albeit rather immature at times, are slightly justified?

uh oh. looks like augustus is in for a beating…

forgot to color augustu’s mouth in last pannel……..
ALSO
i expect LOTTTSSSSS of drama here! and a little of augustusxlucyxmike

tHe PuRpLe ShAdOw: He doesn’t hate her, and he definitely doesn’t feel this way just because of her confession. His annoyance with her started a long time before that . He was basically her punching bag for years, and sure, it’s not entirely her fault that she treated him like that, but it got him fed up nonetheless. He’s not faultless, certainly, but I do think more of the blame lays with Lucy when you’re talking about the root of the problem. Recently, yeah, she’s just been trying to make up with him and hasn’t been giving him much reason to not like her, but his feelings aren’t without warrant.

She’s also never really tried to talk it out with him. She’s just kind of been like “WAHHH MIKE Y U IGNORE ME”- again, not her fault, but you can’t singularly blame Mike for not taking the initiative to work things out when Lucy’s been just as apathetic in that respect.

Also I love how your post, which comes right after my comment about how annoying it is that some Mikehaters do nothing but hate on every page even when it doesn’t make sense to do so, is composed entirely of Mikehate. Chill. Talk about how pretty the art looks or how the poster is so witty or Aug’s raepface.

*cries* so…much…ANGST!!!!!!!!!!!
Lucy’s all like: FOREVER ALOOOONEEEEEE

despite the fact that i am pro Lucy,… somehow i really really like the way you draw her on the last pannel,…

its kinda strange because usually i feel sorry for her but she looks just like she won’t stand that **** anymore and fight back with a win in the end (i know there is going to be drama but i still love the way she looks on that pannel )

Watch your eye there final fantasy dude, you might just poke it with you goth jacket :3

YES GUSSY.
GIVE HER A LONG AND SERIOUS TALK ;U;
his sexy face is just fff- <3

Whatever happened to the plot with Abraham at the beggining of this anyway?

Those backgrounds must have been awful to get through ;A;

AUGUSTUS NO ONE LIEKS YOU GO AWAY. Just kidding, you’re adored by many. But keep yer paws off Lucy xD

Augustus you sly, sly dog.

Mike is still being a jerk and Lucy still wants to be buddies with him again. And Augustus? He ain’t helping the situation much… Or is he?

Mike’s face in the 4th panel leads me to believe that he’s slowly breaking and that by the end of this chapter, he might break and decide to be nice to Lucy. Maybe even go so far as to consider getting together with her. Perhaps he’ll wake up and realize that Sandy is just a pipe-dream and that it will likely never amount to anything more than a long-distance fling…

I really hope that very last panel is Lucy preparing to unleash the Fist of Rage on FFC’s evil face. Ker POW!

I will never, ever forgive him for the near-rape of Daisy. It doesn’t matter if he never intended to go through with it. She didn’t know that, and so as far as I am concerned, that makes him a rapist, and I hope he falls into a wood chipper with a lot of horsepower but very dull blades.

No really. I know it’s just a comic strip. I’m calm. You don’t need to call the orderlies. I will just eat my Jello and then go read quietly.

Can’t you guys read? There’s no arguing in the library. Rape faces and ridiculously pointy collars are fine though, as long as you do them quietly.

Is there any connection at all between the news post and the picture of half-submerged cars? Am I missing something, or is it indeed completely random?

You’d get it if you were Australian, 42.

Its not so easy being a jerk to someone you care about is it Mike?
Maybe he’ll grow up a little by the end of this chapter.

@Shada

Therapy with a rapist? That….. Makes absolute sense! Also, good job on almost getting 600 books in only a couple months, guys! Kepp up the good work!

Rapist Therapists, Lotvk?

NOOOOOOOO!!!!!! I’m not allowed to catch up! >O<

Okay, now that i’m done with that, time to talk about the comic. I think Mike has a reason to be like this, but he shouldn’t act this way. Stop avoiding it, stop being mean, and make up. YOU TWO NEED TO TALK!!!!

Oh and btw, I’m in love with this comic.

Mike and Lucy’s hands look odd in the first panel. Like… they aren’t really on the table correctly. They don’t look like they’re lying flat, I guess? I can’t really place it, but something is definitely off about the placement.

Oh and Lucy looks royally ticked off in the end. I hope her fury doesn’t end up vaporizing Augustus. Wouldn’t be a good thing. And I like his Cheshire cat face that he has going on there.

Edit: Dumb Comment Warning? Really? What in the above post is dumb comment worthy? o_o

I smell a Falcon Punch!

Wheres Alec? We need him!

Incoming Shoryu in three…two…one…

But in all seriousness, whoa; In terms of hitting the nail on the head with Lucy, Augustus is now what…3 for 3 now? Though while he speaks the truth, he invites a punch to his fave 90% of the time o.O

Kick his butt, Lucy!

Mike and Agustace need to stop being such douches!

I found it kind of OBVIOUS these two would get paired on a project together, I mean, it’s just DIEING for them to make up all ready

And, am I not suprised, Augustus shows up. Simply AWESOME. I’m all for attempted rape therapists.

I hope Lucy doesn’t beat the snickerdoodles out of him… Or maybe, that would make him stay around longer?

Agustus will die.

Mike has the cyootest face in panel four! :3

Also, whoa, trollface.

I agree with Agustace abt lucy and mike but hes being a jerk about it. and lucy looks like shes gonna kill him!

Oooh! Final Fantasy Cat gonna get hit!

To be honest, I’m done hating on Mike, I have been in his situation before and let me tell you, it does suck when you have to work with someone you have some sort of an emotional background with. I don’t think he’s being rash, but acting the way he would be in this situation

… lol AgustusxLucy.

Judging by the first page and overall tone, is this the last chapter?

I sense an agustus and lucy brief relation ship in the posible horizine. The guys such a jerk. Yet i Think there is a backstory to him since he didn’t want lucy over at his place. That and he is a perfect foil to mike. Lucy needs a challenge and could sway toward agustus at any time problem is agustus is to proud and would rather annoy her and never let his gaurd down. Only chance would be if they were both alone. The guy needs to stop behaving that way. He’s afriad that maby people will like him. I know its going to bug mike. Sigh drama drama drama…….cant wait for outcome’s ……….also, when it comes to mike its interesting. The guy has every right to be mad but now it seems like he’s obsesive about it. When she declared she loved him he said thanks and didn’t say anything back. I love u = now i hate u to mike lol. In the long run he should be happy someone cares for him to that degree, but deep down he’s upset for the other things wrong with his and lucys relationship. To bad that deep down lucy let her gaurd down when it should have been up. I have a friend like lucy grrrrr its frustratiting. We all gotta keeep a guard up but we shouldn’t have to either. Thats y kids in the adult world u can form a relationship better than in highschool……well better odds any way…..lol

Hello SO I’ve never commented before and I really wanted to do so. I just love Augustus no matter what and I am normally anti furries but this this makes me love them (well yours, some of the others are kinda traumatic thanks to my cuz who dressed in furry suits ) I would like to say I love your art and every character but I do still miss the old style is there any chance of it going back? Because FFC’s eyes look like HUGE ALMONDS and I just love him too much. And Paulo too
ps: I’m getting a Somali cat because of him

Hit him! Hit him! haha just kidding…maybe.
Mike is kind of being a JERK. Augustus, you are enjoying this TOO MUCH. He always has something to say doesn’t he? But you gotta love him!

I used to sympathize with Mike, but now he’s turned into a total douche.

Looks like Lucy’s a little ******~ I would love to see what she does to him.

Mike. Listen to your conscience. It’s saying, “At least put up with Lucy for the project you jerkface.” Or something to that effect. Sock FFC in the face Lucy. You know what, smack Mike too while you’re at it.

Oh Lucy’s cheeks aren’t always pink apparently. It was starting to look like she blushed all the time for everything. Books on the bottom shelf look kinda short in the first panel, width-wise. Drawing the lines maybe a bit more parellel where the pages of the books separate would be better. :U I dunno I’m not an artist. FFC’s face turned out real good though, not to mention Lucy’s last two faces. : )

I’m the blue car in the News Feed. And gasp! That’s a centuries old Mazda that guy’s looking into right there! Do want.

Lucy is always displeased nowadays.

OMG! Lucy and Augustus should TOTALLY hook up!!!

I seeeee~
I see Mike starting to get guilty. Or maybe he’s been feelin’ guilty all along.

Also, Augustus. I could totally freakin’ HEAR his annoying villanous voice while reading this. It was awesoooooommme

lord knows someone needs to talk to Lucy and Mike about their relationship

I think Augustus and Lucy hooking up together would be like Tess and her boyfriend back then… We don’t want that to happen again…

Hm…
“Cheers to the first punch thrown!” …is basically what F.F. Cat looks like he wants to say.

You know this is kinda Lucys fault about loosing Mike in the first place. Back when she said that he had a girlfriend (Sandy) it gave Mike the cofidence to ask Sandy their true relationship status. Oh well

Oh, don’t look so hurt Mike. *******.

Lucy’s glare in the last panel is EPIC

3….2….1…..

Next panel—
Lucy: “Back the f*** off.” *glares hole in his head*
Mike: lol

I liked your Next Panel thing DavidLovesPoodles also awesome name
If anyone notices the poster in the background now says’ I thought I told you to SSHH’ another

Huh… So Augustus is taking part in this chapter… Interesting. I’m looking at Mike’s arm as he throws his backpack onto the table: It looks like he broke it. It’s bent 10-20 degrees too far. Plus, a little more detail should be added to Mike’s face when he emotes. E.G.: His face in panel four. I can’t tell if hes mad, guilty, or sad. It’s like a combination of the three.

PS: My friend begged me to type this: BIPOLAR CAT N T AMUSED!!!

if mike feels the way he should it would be a combo of all three emotions

but besides that point i like where this is going so far (unfortunately i dont see it ending well )

PS: the arm may look weird but it signifies an elbow, and its not that bad

ummm i duno but for some reason agustus seems like hes just a figment of lucy’s imagination that or i could just be to many horror movies that causes me to think like that

I think she’s had enough of his disingenuous assertions.

Seriously, I would love if there was some huge emotional explosion in the chapter, and they still get a terrible grade. But since The series is only about 1/3rd of the way done, there’s probablly a LONG way to go before any kind of progress is really made. I can’t believe it’s only 1/3rd done. What else could happen lol?

Screw sandy. And what is Mike even expecting from lucy?!? If Lucy got into an accident of some kind, Mike would be right at her side, at least that’s what I would do if I were him >:/, not go lollygagging around feeling all “Guh, Lucy is such a jerk for still wanting to be friends, herp derp.”

What? I’ve already caught up with latest update? Wow. When I started reading, the latest chapter was On Our Own. BCB Obsession? ‘nyways .. I am lovin’ this series and keep up the good work, Taeshi!

Nothing Came Out by the Moldy Peaches is basically the theme song of Bittersweet Candy Bowl. I’ll have to make a video of that.

Again with the poster lol!

Michael seems very annoyed in this one. As well as Lucy.
I love the facial expressions displayed in this page + Michael’s scarf.. It makes his neck look cool for some reason & I.D.K.Y. (shrug)

I hope Lucy has some sort of come back… Yerr mom *punched* (ow)

P.S. I don’t find this specific comment “dumb”.
I appreciate the filter & why it’s there. ( Like for dumb people like me who can Accidently!! post four comments @ once) < my bad for that 4 by the way.

Oh my… Sometimes I do love you ever so much Mini-Sephy… er Mini-Kabuto…. Er oh, right Augustus, thats your name!

Your comics Rocks but please please let lucy and paulo be together they r much lovelier then mike XC anyway keep on the gr8 comic

Degustus xD

Mental therapy: Fantasy cat style
TI bet they make up before the end of this chapter. Mikey gonna get jealous!

Search your feelings, you know it to be true!

I can see it now, Next panel: Indescribable carnage.

For some reason, everyone hates Augustus, but, in most cases, he has the point.

While Lucy did deserve to be put in her place, she doesn’t deserve this treatment. No one does. I’m not condoning what she did either, but while she should be accountable for her own actions, Mike should had pulled her over to the side and and told her that her treatment of him is got to change, or they can’t be friends anymore. All he did was enable her unless he got mad and blew up in her face then when things calmed down, he continued again. Lucy didn’t know how to handle her emotions, now the tables have turned. While Lucy wasn’t being totally malicious with her actions, Mike is. Lucy was more physical in her abuse, and verbal as well. Mike is giving me a mental and emotional abuse type feeling. He knows he’s taking it a level beyond what Lucy was doing to him, though he is emotionally more stable, which is probably why he took it in stride, she’s not. Two wrongs doesn’t make a right. While she does deserve somethings, his attitude is taking a turn for the worse because slowly, it seems he’s becoming more of an ***. not just to Lucy, but his friends in general, though more subtly. I can understand why he is the way he is, but it’s not healthy, for him or her. I hope in this chapter they find a way to at least talk some things over and decide to be civil to one another - doesn’t mean they have to be friends again, but get to a point to where she’s not a withering flower and he’s not an troubled dog, biting anyone that comes near or shows affection.

I agree with Augustus, actually . Lucy needs ta backhand her some Mike. I know she still carries a torch for him — why, I have no idea, but ya know… I wouldn’t take this kind of abuse from someone I loved. Not for an instant! And in fact, I don’t! Whenever my not-boyfriend displeases me, I let him know. I still love him, but he makes me cranky sometimes. >:|

the proportions in these last few pages is horrible.
there is no way to sugar coat it.

For those who never had someone like Lucy in their life listen up!

Being abused, even as little as just getting punched in the arm for doing nothing, slowly builds up over time. Once all this abuse hits a certain point, the abused being to lash out and try to get ‘even’ by expressing a mass amount of anger. But normally this anger period will calm down in a couple weeks, so I do expect Mike to finally calm down. By now he should know he won the fight and once he calms down, Lucy will stop being a jerk to him and they will soon forget this whole thing…. that is if Taeshi’s reality is the same.

@Oddguy

The****youtalkin’bout Willis?

Panel 6 eye = cool… I like eyes.
Hope you guys have an awesome time in Brisbane!

@Oddguy: I disagree with you. Show your work.

LISTIN, AND LISIN GOOD, I WANT BOTH MIKE AND LUCY TO FALL IN LOVE NOWWWWW!!!!!!!!!! IF NOT, I WILL HUNT YOU DOWN AND KILL YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!


(LITERERELY!)

Oh man, Rapecat had to go and light the powder keg. High chance of dismemberment tomorrow.

Loving the new style!
It seems that Mike is still being an *** to Lucy. I don’t see why he has to be, all Lucy wants to do is be with Mike and she doesn’t know how to make him see that! Him and his stupid love with Sandy, i mean really! He is never with her and most long distance relationships never last anyway!
And emo kitty, leave Lucy alone! She looks like she could kill your *** in the last panel!

@caleb
oh god run he’s serious!!!!!

@ caleb
HIDE THE KNIVES!!!

JERK MIKE IS JERK

Sentient posters gunna kill us all.
LUCY SHOUTS AT AUGUSTUS
GETS KICKED OUT OF LIBRARY
MIKE THINKS SHE LEFT WITHOUT SAYING ANYTHING

She is totally gonna beat his ***. GO LUCY!!! Really though, I hope she does! He’s a creeper >.

who thinks that mikie will get jealous by the end of this chapter. that or annoyed that lucys talking to anouther dude.

I see a face punch attempt is something in the future. Also, I don’t see STFU anywhere. And yes, I do believe that Lucy and/or mike is gonna snap.

I love her eye and the final panel. <3

Augustus~ I LOVE YOU. xD You are so wonderful; yet you are creepy stalker cat. ;u; You make me so happy. xD

I like how Augustus is still a few chapters behind in drawing style.

Hopefully Augustus makes a good substitute Lily.

…Wait, what am I saying?

omg omg omg omg omg omg omg FRIDAY!
8 of 40 , I can’t wait >.

I can smell that burn from here.

WHERE THE HELL DID YOU COME FROM TALL WHITE AND *******?
Go screw somewhere else; can’t you see this is serious?

I love the face Lucy makes in the last panel. She’s so angry and cute.

Calm down Lucy he will probably say something constructive and he most likely insult you.

What do you know Agustus. Stay away from Lucy.

Oh lordy She is not happy, Augustus run!!!!

The posters,
they speak!

Augustus is my favorite character. I have no idea why, he just seems awesome in my opinion.

Want a good grade?
(V)(;,,;)(V)
Why not Zoidberg?

Gotta love that smile of his right there.

Side-note: I never found anything wrong with Augusts from the start, sure he was a bit intimidating but he never did anything that physically hurt anyone or showed that he was sadistic and cruel.

He just seemed to be into getting people (like Daisy) to act like their “true” selves rather then keep it all bottled up.

And he’s done more good then bad so far, he left Daisy alone when she chose Abbey, he kept Lucy from following him to his home (which looks like a BAD place to be) and two pages later from here he gives her some good advive.

All in all I fine him more likeable then someone to antagonise.

quite being an *** mike, you don’t have to be that way

uGH I DONT GET IT WHY IS MIKE BEING SO MEAN THEY USED TO BE BEST FRIENDS AND THEN SHE CONFESSED AND NOW THEY HATE EACH OTHER???? LIHGWEORUGHOSEIUGHLIJESNGDF HELP

Late comment is late, but Lucy hun, your tsun-powers aren’t going to save your day. <3
