Preview, James happy Mike sad

the mike humiliation machine continues unabated

>>150981020
Since when does David care this much abouyt Lucy? This character is hot garbage because he's just here to do shit like this and not suffer any consequences.

Why is everyone so unbothered by the situation
This shit has taken place over the course of two minutes, not two months like we're experiencing it
This has to be a dream sequence or something

>>150981020
Does it not seem really OOC for Lucy to say what a great idea it is like she's completely detached from the events that just occured, and wasn't just crying and clinging to Augustus like a battered housewife?
>>150981055
David has always been weirdly attached to Lucy for no real reason

Said this before and will say this again
Despite all her flaws, Taeshi wrote the most realistic faggot I've ever seen in fiction:
vain, horny, traitorous and dumb.
Bravo!

>>150981067
Davidspace has forcefully altered scene from explosive drama to a lighthearted comedic scene, and all characters are forced to comply

>>150981020
This all feels very Stepford Wives. Lucy's reaction in particular is extremely artificial.

Please note she didn't decide what to do at all, also Lucy, person famously known for LOATHING when people make plans for her or force them on her is praising David for force solving a problem they created themselves, and is suddenly very calm and composed and her crocodile tears are gone like him talking just shocked the feelings out of her. This is wank Taeshi, c'mon

>>150981069
Makes perfect sense when you realize Lucy is a fucking slut, she was cuddling up to Augustus because he called her cute but he turned her down and now there’s David who could rearrange her insides with his massive cock

>>150981162
At this rate, Mike will try to commit suicide because his family REFUSES to send him away from these psychos.

what in the fuck

Leakanon where are you

>>150981069
First of all
>Implying Lucy is a character
Second, yes it is, she has never reacted well to people offering help, but since it's the meme dog Taeshi really really can't find a way to finish this whole shit fest that doesn't involve reaching an actual solution instead of putting a lid on it like she always does so he's now the author's very obvious plot enforcer

>>150981168
Lucy is going along with it because this is the kind of situation she wants to happen to Mike. She wants him to lose and get his life destroyed while barely trying anytthing to stop it.


David and Augustus are doing the heavy lifting in this situation, so kicking him and gaslighting aside, most of it is on THEIR hands if anything goes south. Especially because Augustus initiated the whole thing. She can go to sleep telling herself they did this, not her.

>>150981168
>This is wank Taeshi, c'mon
Taeshi found a narrative shortcut with meme dog and is patting herself on the back, failing to recognize this is just poor craftsmanship. In a better comic, the absurdity would be intentional and drive Mike to conclude that reality hates him. I have no faith that BCB is anywhere near that honest.

Who's watching https://twitch.tv/bittersweetcandyshow for the bimonthly BCB livestream?

>>150981020
Suicide Mike isn't even a speculation at this point. In mere seconds he doesn't exist. He needs new friends. Amaya, Stacy, Haley, Jasmine, Felix, Abbey. Anybody.

>>150981175
Taeshi isn't going to make Lucy have feelings for David anon, c'mon

>>150981224
It hasn't even been 30 minutes man

>>150981253
The plot won't allow them to work even if they were options. Plus after this Mike is probably going to wall himself off and become paranoid toward any attempts at connection from others

>>150981233
As if Taeshi would ever purposefully vilify her precious little fursona like that in-story. I'm sure that is exactly what Taeshi is gleefully doing, of course, but in a deniable, vicarious, and very clumsy way that sacrifices artistic integrity for another BPD jackoff session.

>>150981257
Sorry anon we're entering the David BDC (big dog cock) NTR arc. He's going to fuck James, fuck Lucy, fuck Daisy and Paulo at the same time, fuck Augustus, and finally fuck Sandy (together with a guest appearance from Francis). Mike will sit and watch in the cuck chair

>torture porn continues and shows no signs of stopping
Are you really surprised?

>>150981064
I'd argue not. Yeah sure, he's a horny and clingy boy cock lover but Augustus straight up manipulated him into thinking Mike was a cheating heartbreaker, hiding that Lucy is an abuser. But hey at least Paulo can comfort Mike, they can get married, have kids, lvie happily ever after.
>>150981138
Lucy deserved this after beating the shit out of Mike for years. Here, James is leaving Mike over a lie that Augustus fabricated.
>>150981188
They're doing him a favor, he needs to stay away from toxic people, not with them. Maybe after this he'll realize they're not good for him. But that would be poetic since Lucy jumped cause she was being taken away from Mike.
>>150981251
She'll just post the art anyway, no point.

>>150981274
Wtf else are we supposed to do with this bullshit ass chapter

>>150981285
Lucy did just recontextualize all of Mike's attempts to befriend and help her as pure selfishness. It makes all the sense in the world for guiltcat to shun all outreach because he can't trust himself.

>>150981253
>He needs new friends. Amaya, Stacy, Haley, Jasmine, Felix, Abbey. Anybody.

At this point trying to move on in his current school, if not the whole town, is pointless. The mall and the movie outings showed that no matter what, Lucy or the table tards will pop up to ruin things. He literally cannot escape.

If he tried to go to ANY of those people as friends, I have no doubt that at minimum David would pop up to fuck him over again.

>>150981285
>Plus after this Mike is probably going to wall himself off and become paranoid toward any attempts at connection from others

Also this. James being such a wishy washy bitch validated Mike's fears quicker than anyone else. Mike is going to be paranoid of anyone being nice to him for a while, even if they are genuine.

>>150981233
>>150981237
It just baffles me the amount of hoops this woman will make the comic jump in order to keep her fursona's (I'm not calling her a self insert, she doesn't get that respect, she's her fucking fursona until she stops being a Mary Sue) hands clean and free of sin. This combined with her going back to old pages to change bits of dialogue to make current arcs make more sense and her refusal to take a neutral stance over her own comic's drama just yells what we all already know: this comic is first and foremost a masturbatory replacement for actual therapy

>>150981020
>Ohhhhhhhhhh NO
said anyone without BPD reading this comic, for the millionth time this year

>>150981285
He's been fucked over by people he trusts so many times I wouldn't be surprised if he learns his lesson that The Candyverse hates him.
>>150981292
Everything short of Mike getting mutilated or raped like he gets in fanfiction is happening.

>>150981020
whatever man

>>150981251
The stream is delayed because Taeshi's out playing pokemon go....

>>150981064
James turning into a prop is blatant but making it a point that he's willing to drop practice just to hang with David kills whatever he had left, he's just David 2.0 now. Taeshi will pull some "actually James threw Mike under the bus just to get with David and it didn't work, so don't judge him now that I need to use him for something else :)"

>>150981314
From a writing/storytelling standpoint it's a peak, fire chapter like all the others. Just that Mike's tragedy and the way his "friends"/former future fuckbuddies treat him are frustrating.
>>150981327
Yeah, he needs to move to Richter and fuck Sandy and Jenny, have their babies and live happily ever after. Nothing short will turn him around.

>>150981382
That's the funniest and most pathetically on-brand Fuck You she could give her audience.

>>150981382

>>150981382
She's playing "Pokemon Go Fuck Yourself" and instead of catching them, she's throwing characters like Mike away into rivers and volcanic craters.

>>150981333
at this point I really think she's projecting some real life anger onto Mike. The way this character just gets dunked on by everyone and everything without a single win is too crazy for that to not be the case.

>>150981326
And you know this will also be taken as a fault of his, a repeat of "why did you think I wanted to make you suffer" but about how she didn't actually meant what she meant now that she doesn't mean it (didn't want it)

>>150981029
I was masturbating and then a skeleton popped out. It's a nothing page. Mike's probably going to tell James he's quitting the track team page after next.

Mike was right

I'm sure the site and discord comments are loving this

The thing is, if Taeshi really was trying to keep Lucy's hands clean here, she completely fucked it up. Lucy is 100% complicit in all this. She didn't stop Augustus from spewing his bullshit, she assaulted Mike then gaslit him herself, and now she's perfectly at peace about taking Mike's seat at the table without his consent. There's no way for Lucy to excuse herself.

Well it's not that far off.
Taeshi is predictable as fuck.

It would be funny if this takes Mike out of the picture, and not only does it not stop Lucy's dreams but it actually makes them worse.

And everyone else just has to deal with it now because Mike isn't around to blame anymore.

>>150981431
That would be odd since, in one of the preview pages, James opines that Mike could still sit with the track team if he wanted to.

>>150981537
Do we have enough pages left for that and the incoming table scene?

Taeshi can't handle working a real job and, at this point, I doubt that Suitcase could either.

This whole chapter is pure shit and complete unbelievable. I'd stop reading if it wasn't for the fact that this comic is our collective, personal hell.

The only thing that could salvage this is is if Daisy sneaks away from the table because she still thinks Lucy is a bitch and goes to hang with Mike. And then reignites her feelings for him which will make the future, alleged awkward double date that has been teased awkward.

But oh wait....Daisy had no issues getting Burgertron with Lucy and has to thank Lucy for hooking Daisy up with her sloppy, seconds...I mean...Paulo. So Daisy rekindling things with Mike definitely will never happy.

>>150981572

I desire a day when Augustus tries to bully Mike into compliance and either gets his nose broken or told that nobody cares about the opinions of a rapist.

>>150981553
>There's no way for Lucy to excuse herself.


Her fans don't care. They cheer for anything Lucy does and make up excuses for her all the time. Even the whole thing about augustus telling mike to stay inside had them upset more because he was doing it without Lucy asking him to than how unreasonable it was.

>>150981598
>What you don't understand
What YOU don't understand is that I'm talking about intent vs execution. Yes of course Taeshi can write any counterfactual drek she wants and insist it makes all the sense in the world. But anyone with a functional brain can see the truth.

If only good, interesting things could ever happen in this wretched slopcomic.

>>150981352

Did she really find an audience of BPD-tardlets like herself to go 'OH NOO' everytime she repeats the cycle of Mike-suffering?
Like the drama is so predictable and played out by now how is anyone surprised at this shit?

I just find it amusing if it indeed lots of mentally ill idiots eating her slop because reading his comic is cheaper than therapy or their meds.

>>150981618
If Taeshi were somewhat sane, this would all be some personal social experiment to gauge just how hard her community would commit to their Mike hate and Lucy farthuffing. What Augustus and Lucy said to Mike read like a list of Lucystan "argument" bullet points.

>>150981665
No, her audience is just insecure teenage girls and stunted womenchildren.

Yes but it'd be fun to have Taeshi realize her fursona can't punch her way out of that

>>150981070
Probably modeled after you

>>150981665
Her "close" audience is girls who self insert and live vicariously through Lucy and the kind of simp who only cares after her design and can't see her doing anything wrong ever. If you ever show discrepancy with that or that you also browse more critical places like this they ban you

>>150981020
You know, this is some real unintentional comedy.

Mike's escalating intolerance toward Lucy made all the sense in the world, once her girl-on-boy slapstick violence got recontextualized as careless tsundere horseshit. It was all very natural.

Then Mike made his prophesy, forever ago, that all his friends would leave him for Lucy if given the ultimatum. And that prediction did make SOME sense, if only because of precedent, Paulo being so hot for Lucy, and the fact that white cat's sad pining could tug on a heartstring or two. But it was a shakier assertion that would have benefited from a supporting flashback or two. What's happened instead is that Taeshi could not figure out any organic reason for why Mr. Kindly McSadsack's friends would up and abandon him for the delusional turbocunt who hates them because of a fucking dream. Even after that annoying sperg Mike shit, Lucy has proven to be so unlikable that the universe had to bend over backwards for this to happen.

That's hilarious.

>>150981746
They all walk away from the track leaving Mike alone, David is too noisy and boisterous to give the page any seriousness so they're all laughing. Mike turns around and starts running while tears drip from his face. Augustus and a Lucy look back, he smirks and goes back, while Lucy gives a small glimpse of worry BECAUSE ITS NUANCED YOU GUYS, WHAT IF SHE DIDN'T MEAN IT? :) :) :)

Nope, absolutely the opposite. She smilingly whispers to Augustus (Mike can hear them because stupid animu hearing powers) that this is what she wants.

>>150981746
Mike sad. His look of pain before turning away is given an entire page because it's super dramatic and definitely not worn thread-bare.

>>150981901
The answer to both is "he doesn't care". James knew Mike was not only on a relationship but a hetero one and still kissed him, and David doesn't give a shit about anything that isn't rimming Lucy or Paulo

>>150981933

Sue is too much of a Lucystooge to give Augustus any real crap. I agree with you about Mike; he might be borderline suicidal by that point, but pretty much all of his problems stem from feelings of personal responsibility and guilt. Take those away and he'd at least achieve some baseline stability.

>>150982052
Wow I love this comic so much, I can't wait for the next page of slop!

>>150981893


The assumed answer was once lucy came back, she would have brought up the conversation they had in december and what Mike really told her and they'd make him fuck off under the reasoning that Mike "made" her jump.


But for some reason Taeshi couldn't follow through on it. EIther that or the idea that Mike would keep his december attitude after being fed up and his friends would stop hanging out with him because he'd cut into them more often.

So we got Mike losing all his friends this way. My assumption was that David was picked because he's the only one at the table that could do this without having literally everyone, even in her own fanbase, scratching their heads on why.

Paulo did switch up on mike during the walk home with Lucy, but that was because it was just them. Doing it in front of Mike and having James involved would make even him think twice before trying it unless he was just THAT damn mad.

>Even after that annoying sperg Mike shit, Lucy has proven to be so unlikable that the universe had to bend over backwards for this to happen.


Nothing has been proven wrong regarding what Mike said about Lucy in december. Taeshi just decided that instead of Lucy needing to better herself, it was easier to put Mike through the wringer for over ten years.

>>150982096
Mike already told everyone about December at Rachel's party though, and nobody stopped being friends with him

>>150981746
Scene ends with Mike's misery being unacknowledged because December pottery.
Given that there's about ten pages left, I think it's moving to the cafeteria in the next page or two. At least two of the pages are accounted for (Paulo worrying about Mike and then getting admonished for it), so the scene still has to be set for that and then there's gotta be room for the aftermath.

>>150981311
Yeah pretty much, they are doing him a favor. They're all shitty.

>>150982068
>>150982091


Mike needs someone to tell him that it's okay to let that shit go. As it stands, Lucy is going to just hate him forever and while that can suck, it shouldn't dictate his whole life. He's, what, fifteen? I understand that to a teenager, it cant feel like "This is going to be it forever" because they don't have much life experience, but someone's gotta tell him that he's got his whole life ahead to grow, learn, and find himself in a better situation around better people.

But that kind of adult doesn't exist in BCB. Older people that can help these kids out are either non-existant or just as messy as they are.

It's strange. Taeshi gave herself a few chances to commit but kept pulling back.

>the suicide attempt is a social nuke Lucy can drop on Mike's head

>reduce Mike to an unlikable sperg
>everyone gets tired of him and wants to hang with Lucy instead
>NO NO WAIT he's back to normal see? just the goodest little boy

Like what is the point of fingering the trigger over and over again? Was Taeshi worried that Mike's reputation couldn't be fixed unless the reason for his exile was literally indefensible?

>>150982210
But why

>>150982148
Sadly it's probably going to get worse before it gets better, his home life is still on a thin wire and if he starts failing in class because of everything piling up he's fucked. If there is something a parent hates more than a problem kid is the golden kid not being able to live up to expectations, you can't push someone who doesn't listen but can go hard on the one that feels guilty he's not doing his part

>>150982221
Because Taeshi is a piece of trash, that's why

>>150982236
She recently changed her mind about the ending and planned several more months or story after her planned ending. No idea what that means for Mucy, 50/50 whether she decided it's untenable or is doubling down on making it work

>>150982210
It's going to be the most unsatisfying thing ever if she does.

Post december it was possible, but it would have taken some work, but Post EF? Nah, the ground is nuked beyond belief.
The best case scenario for Mike and Lucy is them realizing that they just aren't healthy for each other and going their separate ways after parting on civil terms.

>>150982255
It could also just be one of her spur of the moment things that go nowhere added to increase the comics lifeline a bit more or a wet fart like Too many rings

One of the commentors was theorising that this chapter is a nightmare Mike is having (which first of all, hilarious that even they are realising how fucking bad these past few pages have been narrative wise) and it's likely just cope but honestly I can believe it, because it's genuinely the only way to make sense of all this. This page in particular, with Lucy being so off character, praising David of all people who she has literally never been friends with, and acting as if this hasn't been suggested before by Paulo who she ripped to shit afterwards is just insane. If the leak page is included in this chapter it could be a possible dream sequence. I don't know man, I just hate this comic. So much wasted potential, so many character assassinations. Taeshi if you're reading this - you're a fucking awful story teller. You created something so interesting with December and you've ruined it all with your execution since.

>>150982211
Taeshi likes drama but not resolutions and certainly not cooldowns in story, I guess they feel too much like finishing the comic or changing the plot. She makes a lot of seemingly high stakes events that should come down with changes but they never do, or settles long awaited plot points with the grace of David these last chapters. Like she keeps dangling the nightmares like keys in front of the audience but you know the reveal is going to be something stupid.

Because she is Lucy and Mike is Suitcase

>>150982269
Even after EF it was still possible thanks to Lucy's incessant need to win Mike from Sandy and gray cat's own pathetic desperation. After Line in the Sand? Fuck no. Mike's got every reason in the world to shove Lucy away "for her own good" and white cat just does not have the patience or goodheartedness required to fix that damage.

>>150982255
How recently?
Lucy in the hospital was also supposed to be the ending.
Iirc a decade ago bcb was also supposed to have a good and bad ending.
The way I see it, BCB is her only source of income so ending it is financial suicide, which lines up with how so many nothingburger chapters there has been since the play arc.

>>150982424

Her patreon mention reminded me of Sandy's call originally being paywalled and I jumped the gun, my bad.

I guess now I can't complain about screwing up obvious details anymore.

>>150982464
Honestly what was Taeshi even thinking? Even if it was forced as fuck she had the right angle with a guilty Mike that knew himself he had betrayed her expectations of a do-over by taking Sandy back instantly (let's ignore some maturity from Lucy should be expected as well), and you had a Lucy that have signs of caring but too proud to act on them, it's dumb but it's what we got. And then out of nowhere "ackchually it's about past sins", "it's about how Lucy felt used", "it's about emotional cheating", she just pulled new reasons out of her Lucyspace like she was allergic to even consider Mike had a reason for anything, it's changing the plot on the go because you need a better excuse but fucking over your characters over it. Who is going to trust Lucy to be their partner when she will become hostile instead of being honest about what she things and then expect you to retroactively carry all the blame for it?

>>150982569

The nightmares are actually the real Lucy trapped in the mind prison, the Lucy we see in waking life has always been the demon wearing her flesh

>>150983174
Sue and the other girls suddenly becoeme abusive and occasionally hit Lucy for no good reason, and none of the guys do anything to stop it or give a shit. Pinning the blame for it mainly on Lucy. This goes on for a full-on 1-3 chapters as she tries to figure out why and is looking for Mike since he appear to be missing from school and his own house. Lucy has been avoiding looking in the mirror because she occasionally sees Alej in them, making her paranoid as he appears to sometimes get closer in it. It also intensifies her looking for Miek as she occasionally sees blood in places where it should be. Like on the ground and at his front door.

Finally, when Lucy looks in a mirror, she sees herself, Mike and behind her/him are a buncha of Lucys.This entire thing was an arc where Lucy becomes self-aware in dreams and is thinking about how she mighta pushed Mike closer to suicide. So for once she does soemthign to try and fix shit.

Oh and Mike was in the hospital this whole time cause his depression not eating, had finally caught up to him and he fainted close to the river. Why was he near the river? Isolating himself.

>>150983270
That would be a good and plausible way to wrap the series, personally I'd go for something like that, too.

>>150983270
Gus and Lucy getting attacked by Alejandro (Lucy of course being unable to fight because PTSD if she weren't a fucking Mary Sue) and Mike swooping in to save the day (but not coming out of it unscathed) would be awfully cheesy, but fuck, saying I wouldn't want that to happen would be a lie

>>150982594
>In universe, Mucy has less than 11 months to become canon
yeah, that's a small timeframe and we haven't even reached mike's rock bottom. 100% we are getting a doomed, unhealthy version of mucy, the best ending is for them to move on but I know taeshi won't be able to help herself.

>>150982914
God I hope so, either way. If there's anything that could redeem this comic for me it's homoerotic angst.

>>150982211
I don't get it either. Ever since Lucy's return it feels like there's barely continuity between chapters. Characters are at each other's throats one chapter, all buddy-buddy the next, and vice versa. Mike's been angry, then depressed, then happy, then depressed again, at random. The lead up to Paisy consisted of redemonstrating every reason why the ship sucks.

But there's way too many continuity errors and sloppy retcons for it to be anything other than Taeshi just being super lazy and not keeping track of the comic's plot. If Taeshi had some grand plan for the comic, then I doubt she'd keep making basic errors from one page to the next, sometimes to the point of having to go back and edit the pages. Stuff like "everyone knew about Lucy's suicide from day 1", forgetting that Sue was in crutches, having Paulo ask to work the back and then be mopping the floor in Daisy's direct line of sight while she talks about him, Eternal Flame coming just after Lucy's birthday chapter ending with Sandy calling Mike and him being hesitant to pick up. Those kinds of mistakes are the kind of sloppiness that results from not really paying attention or caring.

EF's only redeeming feature is that it can be headcanoned as one of Mike/Lucy's shared psychic dreams.

I hope you're right. He's justified in getting away from James and especially David at this point, but it'll just be spun against him as him abandoning the team because he can't use James as his Lucy 2.0 anymore.

Personally I think he should quit his martial arts classes too, although that would require Taeshi to remember he's still doing those. It would be a good way to clue his mom in about something being wrong with him, and he might as well bite the bullet if Lucy sharing a space with him is a ticking time bomb for him.

That look of resigned rage is only possible with a former partner that has been scorched repeatedly. Felix probably got lovebombed by James, thought they were special, and then realized that James had actually pulled the same shit on everyone else already and he was actually James's last choice of the entire track team.

Hasn't Taeshi implied she might keep drawing BCB until she's on her deathbed, or something? So this possibly goes on for decades and decades unless she kills herself when Suitcase does the most sensible thing (dump her ass)?

He should stay in the martial arts classes purely so that, once Mike no longer gives a fuck, Lucy discovers how annoyingly impossible it is to beat him during practice. Not while Mike refuses to throw the match and she can't get under his skin.

>>150985426
That just reminded me of the shit she pulled on their game of dodgeball. Having Mike do a mere muscle memory interaction would unnerve her

>>150985426
Something like that is probably the reason so many women are on edge nowadays: they're raised with girl power and the notion that they're just as physically capable of boys, and for most of their childhood that's somewhat true. Then at some point post-puberty, they'll be play wrestling with their boyfriends or roughhousing with their brothers and when they can't even slightly compete once the guy stops completely holding back and puts in a slight bit of effort, all those feminist ideals irreversibly shatter and they never stop feeling so vulnerable. In short, Mike needs to completely physically overpower Lucy in order to cure her of her insanity.

>>150981035
The Mike beatings will continue until morale improves. Lucy is finally being appreciated by her friends. Paisy is a good ship. David is a funny character but also super observant. You have to give a shit about these Nightmares. Abbey and Paulo are on good terms now. Sue. Everyone is bi, unless they are gay. The Mike beatings will continue until morale improves.

>I can't see many other reasons for Sue to shut down Paulo even mentioning him

She gets jealous hearing her beau mention anyone else.

Serious answer is she's probably so happy Lucy is back she doesn't want it ruined by someone who is OBVIOUSLY in the wrong and evil for what he did. Paulo will probably have to find him in a slump and suggest the double date to raise his spirits.

>>150986738
I don't think he has it in him to rage again seeing as it has never worked, Sue is a bootlicker so she might be doing that as not to upset Lucy, she got with the program quite fast

I read a bunch of the early BCB strips to get a feel for the characters. Where can I skip ahead to a newer arc so I can get to the current art style?

Imagine if Tae actually went through with the school shooter Mike idea

>>150986825
>double date to raise his spirits
Every time this comes up I wonder why Mike would agree to, let alone look forward to this. He's disillusioned with Sandy and iirc didn't seem that enthused about her coming over. He knows or should know that both Paulo and Daisy have beef with Sandy. He's been opening up to a few people about his Sandy troubles but overall tends not to enjoy them meddling in his love life, and let's be real, Paulo in a booth with Sandy is turning into a struggle session pretty fast. Plus the double date appears from the preview to take place at a burger tron which seems like an odd location to choose for a number of reasons.

Not trying to dog on you for your theory, it could happen, just it'll seem weird to me if it does.

>>150986841
I dunno man, the suspenseful panel of Paulo asking what happened seems to imply something went down. I guess I just don't have as negative a view of Sue as you all. I think she'd need some reason to become so militant. She acts like she knows something. Aside from a rage fit I can only see Mike bursting into tears, and then where's the part where Lucy is a victim? She's already recovered from Mike existing outside and saying she lead him on.

>>150986890
By the time you get to anything skippable you'll already be well into the more recent art styles. Just read it dude. We have enough people arguing about shit without remembering half the comic.

>>150986460
>that the intent is that everyone is acting shitty in this chapter
>Everyone

Mike didn't do anything shitty in this chapter. Also if that's the intent in this chapter, what about the previous ones. As infuriating as this has been, she's been torturing Mike for years now. So why is there suddenly intent THIS time?

What this woman has going on in her head and what she ends up putting on to paper are two different things.


>>150986738
>I can't see many other reasons for Sue to shut down Paulo even mentioning him.

Her grudge comes back and/or she cuts out any mention of mike to please Lucy.

Is there an archive of Taeshi's old stuff? Could have sworn most of it was on e621 but I guess not anymore

>>150985042
>that reference
I'd legit forgive all these years of shit if someone like that actually happened, lmao

>>150986293
I think in one of those 'ask roseville high' things they made it clear that Sue had no interest in Mike or in all the drama that surrounds him.

>>150986472
>>150987268
Yeah, enough is enough. Literally any other webcomic would've moved on years ago, but BCB for some God damn reason keeps beating a dead horse over and over again. We all get it already, geez. Just get to the point and let the damn story move forward for once.

I used to read this comic religiously like the rest of you but I managed to break free and now don't think about it at all. Just saw this thread while randomly browsing.

Holy fucking shit Taeshi just kill him. Just have him die in some random accident that nobody is involved with so your mary sue can't be blamed and tada you win. You decided years ago that he's the incarnation of all evil in existence and can never be redeemed while your character is perfect and flawless and never wrong, so what the fuck are you doing? Nothing has changed in the slightest in the time i've been away it's still just "Fuck mike, the comic". It can only have been written by a bully, you must have been a highschool bully who was convinced they were actually lovely, there is no other explanation.

Fuck you, fuck this thread, fuck all of us and more importantly fuck me for clicking on this shit.

>>150987296
>keeps beating a dead horse over and over again
Nah this is more like her breeding the same two horses over and over and beating to death each foal while the others can only watch and wait for there turn.

>>150987774
AMD she's wearing a wig and clown nose, and the moment she needs these horses for pulling her cart of a comic she'll take them off and proclaim it was but a ruse and she knows better actually

>>150985920
It's less that and more that Mike is canonically faster than Lucy on top of having insane reflexes.

>>150986472
>James decides that Mike is an undependable shallow crybaby bitch despite he himself being and undependable shallow crybaby bitch.

>>150986460
What, is that why Mike flipped out and shoved Augustus? So this could be a "w-well not even he was free from sin" type of deal?

>>150986472
It is a strange fate that by sheer virtue of constantly torturing him, Taeshi has made Mike the best character in this webcomic. Have faith my brothers, one day our guy will be free of this hell.

>>150987020
>Every time this comes up I wonder why Mike would agree to, let alone look forward to this.
Nothing implies Mike wants this to happen. I figure the most likely route (were this a better comic) is for Mike to have given up on anything good happening and is just letting it happen. Especially if Paulo is being really pushy and Mike just does not have the energy left to argue.

>Plus the double date appears from the preview to take place at a burger tron which seems like an odd location to choose for a number of reasons.
My thought is that the burgertron panel happens either before or after the date, when Paulo is badgering Mike or bitching about the outcome.

>I guess I just don't have as negative a view of Sue as you all.
Because of the sketchy nature of the page, it's hard to tell whether it's Sue or Lucy telling Paulo to shut up. So you could be right that Sue isn't hopping onto the hate wagon. But I agree with others that she'd definitely take Lucy over Mike.

Sure is retarded how Lucy suddenly 'sees the light' when David says it in a dumbass way.

Taeshi has serious mental lapses if she forgets bullshittery like this.
This was in 2016.. nearly 10 years ago.

She won't, but a fanfiction author can do it.
>>150987478
Come on, don't leave Bittersweet Candyism. It's most likely that she's a pro at writing a sympathetic abuse victim and asshole abuser. She doesn't have to insert herself into the characters. The appeal slash conflict is how incapable Lucy is of seeing her own flaws.
>>150987774
So, Mike has kids like Porsche and Lucy gets away with bullying her too? That's what it sounds like.

That is the point, he's also the single strongest developed character at least to me. Everything shitty that happens to him is for emotional weight.

Lucy was never this sociable before or after. This has to be an act she put on to please her so-called friends and/or satisfy them so they'd leave her alone.

>>150988396
It might be because she tends to disregard what Paulo said because she believed he had second intentions (wanting her to be at the table just so he could have a shot with her again), while she may believe David is being more genuine.

Or it is just the usual David bullshittery, where everything bends on his favor. He is kind of like Lucy in that aspect. Imagine how hellish and sickening things would be if they got together.

>>150988443

Please, Lucy has always been perfectly happy to take them throwing her a big birthday bash for granted. The only thing that changed is that she used to be kind of self-aware about it, now she's a nasty bitch who is willing to be pleased when you go out of your way to make Mike miserable but it doesn't count for anything once the birthday's over.
>>150988483
That's the trick: she doesn't try to defend it at all. She just tells Paulo to fuck off, she's not friends with anyone. Sure be nice if Paulo doesn't have amnesia and isn't cool with Lucy sauntering in like she hasn't been a huge pain to deal with.

>>150988563

Agreed, that's a fanfiction liberty. For now. He's always been conditioned into being submissive to physical and verbal abuse. He can't even stand up for himself without being demonized, but once he realizes he has nothing to lose he might as well give into the urge to hurt someone. More.

I don't think he will, just as much as be so disillusioned he'd fine with it.

>He knows or should know that both Paulo and Daisy have beef with Sandy.
it will probably be "addressed", in that they'll be more concerned with keeping Mike happy. Expect it to fall though.

>Paulo in a booth with Sandy is turning into a struggle session pretty fast.
It will be, which will be the reason it's been described as "Explosive".

>Plus the double date appears from the preview to take place at a burger tron which seems like an odd location to choose for a number of reasons.
These are 16/17 year-olds who went Trick-or-Treating. Taeshi circles through used scenes like it's a sitcom or dolls in a playhouse. Paulo's broke enough to suggest his job and Daisy is fat enough to be fine with it.

I think the way to understand this comic's story beats is to understand that Taeshi has plot points she wants to hit and will ramrod to get to them, hell or high water.

I think you're right in that it doesn't make a lot of sense for Mike to agree to anything revolving Sandy and the rest of the cast, but I think that's tertiary to getting to the planned events and scratching her Mike/Lucy parallel itch, characterization be damned.

>>150981020
Mike just needs to stop caring about what happened and just move on, cut ties, and just focus on himself. He's made mistakes, but this is just awful and I can't even call him pathetic since everyone and everything is out to get him. Also, screw James he's such a pathetic snake that I hope fails in all future relationships he tries with.

This comic goes from unbearable to incredible when you realize it's just the unfiltered mind of a woman. It's educational.

>>150990096
Yeah I agree, that's what I've been saying for a while now. Dude should just cut ties with most everyone, but at the very least Lucy, Sandy, David and James, and just speedrun the rest of the school year. Finish that shit, go to college (preferably in another city), and never see them again.

Mike is annoying in how much stupid shit he does for no reason and how he acts so exceedingly meek in situations he shouldn't, but seeing everyone taking turns kicking him and getting praised by the story for doing so is just disgusting.

Even if he tried, they'd find a way to fuck him over before all is said and done.

Even if he moved to another school, Taeshi would remember that Social Media exists around this time period and suddenly have mike cyber bullied because someone put the lucy shit online and it went viral.

Mike literally cannot escape. Even if he tried to kill himself, he'd just live through it, albeit permanently injured in some way, and everyone would shit talk him for trying to get attention by doing a suicide attempt and how it's offensive to Lucy because "She had actual mental issues!"
