Yes David, beat Abbey up! He deserves it for hurting Paulo!

What is happening-??

You tell that little shit, David!

YOU
TELL YOUR BROTHER TO NOT BE SUCH A JERK

This was actually really fun to do! I highly recommend doing it just for fun, and I might even redo it pretty soon just because it's so much fun.
I get that Paulo's the opposite of a super rich kid so the first one doesn't really make sense, but he felt the most fitting for the theme, I guess?
Also, I've yet to find the sweet spot for upload file sizes, but it's somewhere between 3.5 and 1.9 MB! Sorry for the jpeg quality.

Alright I love the music meme. All most as much as I love your art . Great artwork as always!

This reminds me how David x Sue is almost as good as MikexSandy. Almost...

The poses are lively as hell. And the color thing is a very smart choice. Sets the mood instantly and has that "imagining" feel to it.
Jasmine is so ready to walk out of the frame, i cant believe it, such a natural pose, wow. Real-life fantasy girl

ps Augustus and Abbey are right from a wet dream...

AUGUSTUS AND ABBEY OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD
my dream

oh my god this is awesome tho
i loved this meme back then
i'll definitely consider doing it again

PUFF PUFF!! omg I love this, Daisy looks so cute in Sue's Dress??!

Meanwhile, a handsome cat with Justin Beiber hair walks up to David and starts hitting on him, not realising that David's a guy.

LachlanDS,
Justin Bieber cat will be in the dark for a long time, cause David doesn't mind.
Just your regular cute chickie with a boyish voice.

It's been a while. Just clicked on a random part of the comic and it took me to SOMEWHERE, don't remember where, at the end of volume 2 and read all the way to the currently posted page. Made me wanna draw this. I'M BACK, BABEH!! I promise I won't loose this account.

It was in the middle of Another Path where Paulo dreams of how the situation would've played out if he went all the way with Lucy.

-s CREECH-

Oh my god??????????? don't hurt me like this tae

0.0 I missed this one! SO CUTE!

Really like this

Don't know why, but Maddison look a bit like doctor here (I like that)

Happy Birthday, Taeshi! It's a little late, but I hope you had a great day regardless. Thanks for everything you've done and continue to do to make your fans happy - you do so much work for all of us and I hope you know that we really appreciate you for it.
(Also I've got those Smeargles for you, I'll get them to you ASAP on the irc or something)

"So are they arguing?"

"Yep, all according to plan. Paulo is so easy to predict."

"Heh."

thank you guys!!

quick doodle of katie - i'm taking a small break from my essay..!!!!

ah thank you taeshi! and yES with all due respect to mina..!!!!!!!

Now, this is what I kinda wished that Daisy had said before the current page. Daisy was just maybe a bit too submissive in this, and just let Abbey leave. If she did say this, I think that maybe Abbey wouldn't've ran away.

Now, when I thought this in my head, I thought it would have more impact. And then when I drew it, I kinda realized that maybe Abbey wouldn't've reacted like this to lines like this, but I think the meaning can be understood from it. I'm sure someone else could've made it look better.

i think that perhaps she knows not to use that line against him (as augustus already had in love my way, which daisy bore witness to). i mean, from the people i know who grew up with abusive parents, hearing that you're becoming just like them is one of the worst things you can hear. i don't know if she's conscious of it in this moment, but /maybe/ she knows better than to break him like that (although this relationship was bad and i think she should have at least been conscious of how paulo was hurting him lfjsklfsd)

but i do agree that, with the sort of impact it has on him, he'd be more likely to stick around to continue to argue or have a breakdown right then and there

I'm actually glad she DIDN'T use this line on him.
When you grow up in an abusive family, society as a whole expects you to "turn out like your father".
Abbey lashed out after years of abuse - it was wrong, despicable, and I wish he hadn't done it, but he is not becoming like his father.
When Paulo beats up Mike, strangles Mike, gets people to beat him up, throws food at Abbey, insults him for no reason, nobody says that "Paulo is becoming an abuser" even though Paulo has been guilty of performing actions that could be construed as abusive - but because Paulo has a good dad and comes from a good family, nobody says "you are becoming abusive".
It sucks, because even though Abbey is in therapy and he is improving (him lashing out at Paulo was wrong, but considering he was much more angry and violent two years ago in comic time, he has showed signs of imroving) everybody compares him to his father.
If Daisy had said this, it would have been such a stereotypical, shitty thing to say.
Abbey needs to apologise for what he did to paulo, he needs to continue to grow and not resort to violence, and he needs to learn that not every woman is going to end up like his mother, and that he doesn't need to protect them - he doesn't need people comparing him to his father.

Wow, people get really in-depth with these arguments

@Rory Oh yeah, I didn't think about that. Yeah, Daisy would know for sure not to say that, and it would REALLY hit Abbey hard.

@Kaynime And I can understand what you're saying too. I didn't even think of any of that. I think that maybe with my Paulo bias, I didn't give Abbey enough credit.

Maybe I should think about the characters of this webcomic more...

@LachlanDS That's why I post these kinds of things here. These kinds of arguments about this thing we love is really interesting ^^

@LachlanDS - it's all part of the fun!
The whole reason I enjoy this comic is because everyone is so well rounded and three-dimensional.
Aside from Alejandro, there's no real "Bad-guy" - every character has their pro's, cons, faults and foibles.
I debate in the comments because I enjoy it, and I enjoy hearing others opinions! It might look like arguing to the outside world, but its all in good fun!
