Bittersweet Candy Bowl

There is a lot to know about art and I should know ‘cuz I took art history classes.

Well covered Sue

4 pages left of this chapter. I’m curious to how this will end.

Pamphlet = instant art-knowledge.

only 4 pages left? can it move that fast?

Look at them bond over the same piece. budding love over a confusion about art.
Now, what needs to be done is for someone to take the candybooru of sue and abby and put paulo in there

Maybe he is a secret artist agent…

Aaaand… That’s why I love this comic so much!

As I said before, its pretty enjoyable to see the weakness and strength of each character. My respect for Paulo fell already, because I won’t forget what he did on the other pages of this chapter, yet… If he bought the ticket for trying to be a better person, it will show us that he is a character that wants to be a better person. I really got this feeling that Paulo was going to buy a ticket, and hope that he did it for his own personal growth than just “answering an indirect defy”.

I find it interesting that Paulo made the same critic that Sue did on last page, its also a signal for Sue to remember her that she still is a young girl and not an “I know everything about my friends and the world!”.

… Really, I love so much this comic! <3

Human art in the BCB world? :o

Ack, sue is really starting to annoy me. I’m not saying she’s a bad person, but dang, she just keeps yelling and shouting, especially at Paulo. The moment he came she got this dark look on her face and she already started harassing him. I think she just likes to yell and antagonize people, jeez…. There must be something more to this, like she likes him or she thinks its his fault about something.

“So what does it mean then?,” It’s a paradox! The BCB equivalent to furry art. Sue’s initial reaction makes so much sense now.

How come no one’s thought of this before?

@Turanis: I don’t think it is that Sue is disinterested in the art, simply that she has other things on her mind at the moment and isn’t actually fully focused on the task. I can imagine in the last page that she was thinking about how this would normally be when Lucy would comment to her or argue with Mike.

Regardless of how high her interest is though, it can be quite hard to describe what art pieces mean to you and it doesn’t help when you aren’t actually focused on the task.

Also, it seems more likely that due to the different speech bubble shape and the fact that the characters weren’t coloured that the ‘ridicule’ was merely what Paulo THOUGHT they said which could be quite different from what they said. You can mishear things quite easily when you already have an expectation of what someone will say.

And I’m assuming she says he doesn’t try because he barely put any thought into what he said about the painting. He’s not trying that hard to understand the art after all. He is trying very hard to not be left out of the group but that is completely different from what Sue is referring to.

Was I the only one who thought the painting was talking to Sue in the second to last panel?

@Fyre I thought the painting was too at first glance

@MarinaPossesed
That’s not sad, sad is that a child died of lead poising on china within the past day (about 1 a day) and wasn’t even acknowledged as human after their death and as such was left to rot and decompose unburied (children die so often the law doesn’t acknowledge them as human until thy turn two)

@Turanus,_and_people_trying_to_ship_PauloXSue
Sue is embarrassed and angry at Paulo because he reached the same confused conclusion she did in much less time withou even caring or trying to understand that painting

In panel 7 it looks like the paintings talking

Blushing Sue is best Sue.

Oh wow this page is great. I’m kinda glad my assumptions were wrong on the last page, they were depressing me for a bit .

Its okay not to know everything Sue, just embrace it and move one (she’s totally not going to do so out loud, though)

I’m an artist and going for my BFA and I still agree with Paulo >_> not every bloody picture has to have a meaning. Tho I hate going to galleries most of the time even if my stuff is in them

I thing Sue love Paulo

Sue may be the intellectual one but Paulo could see the picture and do what Sue could not “criticize” the art, he could express his own opinion with just looking that picture one time: “the color are plain and boring, she is just standing there”. Sue could no do that and she is the “intelectual”

That girl’s overalls are scaring me.

Sue is not having a good time at all yet, that sucks.

I finally think I understand what Taeshi meant when she told us that this chapter would broaden our minds.

Each page with art had details that made us really question what it was or what it meant, I think most of us couldn’t figure out what it was. Once we learned what it was, mind broadened. Also, Daisy was hiding in that first panel on the previous page.

@Taeshi: Man, these expressions are awesome!

Damn I can taste that burn sue

I’m not sure what the point in these chapters are anymore… Maybe it’s to show everyone acting differently since Lucy left. Or maybe it’s slowly leading up to something dramatic in a later chapter.
I dunno. But I hope in the end, everyone will be happy again.

@Taeshi: “Behind the Yellow line,” reminds me of a sad story about a famous dog in Japan, the dog always went to a subway station to wait for his owner. One day, his owner died of a heart attack. The dog stayed at the station and wouldn’t leave. he died waiting for him. I believe that there was a statue made of the owner and the dog. I don’t remember who I heard this story from, I was about four when I heard it.

I have yet to figure out why this chapter is titled critical hit. There were a few ideas but, nothing really seems to add up. I don’t think the idea is around Lucy though.

Sue’s kind of being an a55hole to Paulo

well thats mean

@GuestD

It’s all leading up to something bigger, because otherwise this comic will get boring real fast, no offense Taeshi. Lucy has to come back, or a lot of people will be disappointed and lead that to reason that they won’t read this comic anymore.

Summed up:
1. Something big will happen
2. Lucy will return

@Fangs

It’s called critical hit because Sue and Paulo smacked their heads together.

Who knows, maybe Lucy will appear at the end of the chapter.

Why don’t you have a comment section for Behind the Yellow Line?

Anyway, that was one suicidal dog =A=;

The painting kinda looks like a human…?

If anything is irrelevant, it’s this story arc. I like it, but I think it should have been saved until Mike stopped being, pardon my french, a complete *********.

paulo just knows hes doesnt understand art and accepts it but all the others think they know art but they dont and they are about to realize that thus the name critical hit

aah now I understand everything. sue has been embarassed for the same reason in all the last four pages: she can’t understand the art.
I’m glad there’s nothing else under her embarassment. I ship suexmccain u_u

big words can’t save her now >w<
guess it’s no use

@World

I was kicked from chat for trying to explain my beliefs to people who weren’t taking me seriously. How is that fair?

Sick grammar, Paulo.

And Paulo strikes back

@Haws I believe that was the story of Hachiko.

Sorry, my sister was online. Sorry again. I will be on from now on, and I’ll make sure she doesn’t wreck my life or profile and make people mad.

yeah kid keep blaming your non existent “sister” lmao

Panel 7: The painting is talking.

So, is Sue getting flustered because she doesn’t “get” the art?

@Opheus: I always wondered what the story actually was, thanks!

@Those_interested:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hachik%C5%8D

Did Paulo really pay money JUST to insult people and feel better about his insecurities? Really? **** man, grow up.

@Guy
Dude, you need to take some bitch pills and back the hell off of Paulo. It’s not his fault you’re on your man period.

:”T-that’s irrelevant!”
Doesn’t that just make you want to squeeze her cheeks?

@Guy_&_Caitlynn_Moss:

as usual the expressions are wonderful and i cant wait to see what happens next BCB is always so fun to read and when there is an update it always brings a smile to my face, even if people feel the need to turn the comments into an argument

@guy I think he did it too prove a point, but damn talk about selling out

Unlike some people *coughlumpypumpkincough*, I am thoroughly enjoying this chapter, especially because of the portrayal and deepening of Sue’s character. We never really get to see much of her or her interactions with the group.

Paulo, you know how to make a girl blush…in a bad way.

Paulo gets around a lot…

Paulo looks like he has rosacea in panel one , I didn’t think it was possible for cats to have it.

dat paulo blush.

@nerds

Well good like trying to think with that non-existtant brain

My sister really did cockblock me and went on my computer. She’s so stupid sometimes, but she’s still my sister.

“I may not know art, but I know what I like. And this is boring!”

Guys, if you don’t get it, why don’t you just do one of two things. Either A: Get one of those headset things like Mike has. It’s practically telling him everything he needs to know. Or B: Just ask him or someone else.

Why does everyone argue so much in the comment section?

I find that no one is very tolerant, but the general consensus tends to win regardless of whether or not it makes sense.

Suitcase? Do you mean all artistic/storyline feedback, or just stuff along the lines of “I don’t like this part.”

@Half-Moon: Why do you find it boring? I’m pretty content with the story from where I’m standing.

@Lickit&stickit: I think Suitcase was talking about Paulo’s critique.

Paulo’s throwing a hissy fit

Is the lady in the picture holding a giant mallet? If so, is she Mario? With those colors, it would make sense.

“Blatant sexual tension” as said by Sue herself in an “Ask Roseville High”

Women, hills, and bridges.
Don’t bother me.
I’m in a museum, seriously I’m trying to study. Leave me alone.

@boh…
Who?
But in all seriousness, I wonder what McCain’s doing.
I’m loving this comic so far! It’s nice to get away from drama every once in a while. It’s great to see character development, even if it seems to deter from the main problem as the audience sees it. Excellent work, and I look forward to more!

At least Paulo had shown his own opinion. How about you Sue? Like a fool from some place north to HK.

PauloxSue?

Ewwwwwwwwwwwww…

He gets around but I doubt she’d be into him.

man…I thought the painting was talking to her for a minute…
but why get angry at Paulo? …I mean running into you? Understandable but…is she just upset because she doesn’t like the paintings as much as she thought she would…or because she doesn’t know the meaning behind the arts either?

JUST BANG ALREADY! … jesus…

on another note, YAY, Paulo x Sue makes me very happy!

@My Grant how can I like that statement, a million times?

OH GOB I HOPE THIS CRACKSHIP TURNS INTO A THING. I mean look at them!!! Don’t they say that opposites attract? And besides, they don’t really offset each other too much because look they share the same opinionz 8D.

Why are people still sceptical about the fact that Paulo actually went and bought a ticket? The reason he looks so nervous is because that he actually swallowed his pride to rejoin his friends, not that he snuck in (though I’m not completely ruling that out). If that doesn’t say a lot about Paulo then I don’t know what does. Deep down, he really cares about his friends.

Still wondering where Lucy is…ya know…Lucy? The main character of the story who we haven’t seen in ****ing ever….yeah her.

Paulo’s face in panel three would make a great Character Portrait for a video game, I think.

I don’t mind art snobs. Only thing that really gets me is when people who are just good artists get called creative…

I can hold it back no longer. I can’t scroll down the damn comments section without someone mentioning the ice-cold, snow-white cat. We probably have about 70 filler chapters now!

I noticed as well…
have patience on the main character, its at least nice to know/hear about what the others are up to

three pages ago: hey sue, is something wrong? two pages ago: you missing lucy or crushin ion someone? one page ago: oh hell no this page: THE DEVIL IS A LIAR!!!

The thing with art is that it doesn’t mean a specific thing, these two shouldn’t fight over art
