Bcb - Bittersweet Candy Bowl

More of this.

It's hard to have a reaction when it makes so little sense given what's come before now.

Why is Paulo saying Augustus' lines?

Finally, a pretty good ships ahoy this week.

He's a homo Augustus now while Augustus is now a homeless Polo.

Jeez get with the program already.

>Emma
Who?

Who's this mattress actress?

>It's literally nobody
JUST LET MIKE FUCK HIS SISTER ALREADY

the movie theater girl

Setting aside how trash this ship is it's pretty clumsy and awkward how it's hurtling Paulo into that fat pussy RIGHT AFTER Lucy rejected him.

>movie theater girl

The supposed tranny that made tumblr go thermonuclear in the comments section so cargoboy closed the pool?

It hasn't even been 24 hours since Lucy rejected him!

Vero joined in on a old fashioned social media witchburning due to implied lewds of Molly, so you really think incest is gonna fly?

I'm afraid you're preaching to the choir.
Are the normies still funding this shit even capable of noticing the plot hypocrisy?

I don't think there's even a reason they thought she was a tranny; they just insisted on it because Paulo becoming homo wasn't enough for their minority fetish.

That image is a reminder that the bobble-heads were, at one point, somehow worse than they are now.
If going through the archives is any indication, then Teashi never seems to be happy with sticking with one style for a long period of time, so there might dice roll of hope that the character designs will change again. Probably for worse than for better.

Well, Paulo was definetely a 100% homo, so the only way he could have been flirting for that girl(male) is for her to be a boy(female).
That way internal coherence is reached.

And she wants to indulginpg them on said fetish instead of being a moderator keeping sanity alive.

It'll always find a way to turn to shit, that's the only certainty now.

I remember when Taeshi announced she was going to change the art style with this page

So Lucy blew him out by revealing how much of a bitch she is and this chapter is insisting on a "everyone haets polo" thing (even if it's demonstrably untrue)...so is Paulo supposed to be rebounding? Interested in Daisy because no one else is?

That's a really bad way to get the audience to care about this. It seems shallow.

>patient zero

I knew it was gonna become a steamy turd the moment I saw that.

And yet the "yes" posters could only compliment despite other people pointing out the very visible flaws.

I feel like the creator of this comic gets more shit than she really needs. For instance there was a comic I saw here awhile ago about her being verbally abusive only to find out after reading through her dairy comic things someone basically cropped it and completely ignored the message at the end were she doesn't think her behaviour is healthy and feels guilt whenever she catches herself doing it. Like wew I agree the comic isn't great but it's also a shitty webcomic. I can at least respect the fact she has stuck with it and is going to finish it most people don't have that kind of dedication so at least she's got that. I just feel like you guys are going so far out of your way to exaggerate her behaviours. Fuck I can guarantee that I'll be called bag boy because I dare have a different opinion here..

How is it possible to maintain an ongoing series on just people being unable to have an open conversation? Is like taking the worst of anime and the worst of telenovelas and making it the main point of a comic.

Thaaaats webcomics. How old was she when she started this anyways? If she started as a teen it explains why everything is like a generic anime from the beginning.

Making sense isn't something Taeshi believes in anymore, and even a chunk of the suckers thought the carnival chapter's point was bad.

If one is incapable of noticing they're just making bad worse with every attempt, then they should just flat out STOP.

Also holy shit, paragraphing and line breaks please.
That's no doubt a huge TL:DR worthy wall of text on small mobile devices.

Why should they stop if they make money anyways? Honestly if you think this is about making a great webcomic it clearly is not. It's one part dedication to finish what one started and two parts money money money. If you're a filthy phone poster I don't need to cater to you especially if that small paragraph was difficult for you to read lmfao

Worst part is that she *used to* distance herself from common anime, manga and garbage webcomic shortcuts.

That's essentially why we're all saltier than the dead sea.

Wasted talent and story is something that makes everyone striving for better a bitter and foulposting asshole out of apathy.

I kinda of agree but it's amazing how everything has been going downhill really fast since Lucy's return.
Before that it wasn't great and it was worse than parts like Acapulco and December but damn, the degradation rate right now is too fast

So you're ok with them being like EA of webcomics? Because that's what I'm reading.

Yeah I can definitely see why this would upset people who enjoyed it before the art change. But I mean, let's be honest and agree her art was never good and she never really showed any artistic talent since she had distance herself from realism since the beginning. I think her anatomy is still really bad, the chiba art style hides it better which is probably why she switch as it was also easier

I agree that it's ridiculous that he's already being thrown at Daisy but chapter 45 "Intervention" was basically all about David getting Paulo to admit some sort of feelings for Daisy. Basically Lucy is Paulo's Mike and Daisy is his Abbey. She's his second choice because he can't be with who he really wants to be with it.

Plus they're all shitty people with crap writing so I'm not too surprised that this is the direction it's going.

Well, I'd say dobson and Buckley hold that title. If anything she is bioware. Made a game that people liked, completely changed and fucked it up afterwards

Is Paulo supposed to want a nurturing girl who'll always be on his side?

Then why didn't he take any interest in Rachel? She has those qualities more strongly than Daisy who acts like a childish brat half the time.

t b h I haven't got many complaints about the art. As you said, never good
I liked old Daisy tho

All the actual Paulo x Daisy shipping was in volume 1. It's not very convincing and seems irrelevant given Paulo's active love life since then. He's spent two years (and hundreds of pages) with or wanting other girls and not thinking about Daisy in that way at all. It's silly to say the clock is turning back this much.

The implication is supposed to be that Paulo and Daisy always feelings for each other but kept repressed due to keeping each other on pedestals.
Daisy sees herself as worthless compared to Paulo's confidence and charisma; Paulo sees himself as worthless compared to Daisy's book-smarts and being a social butterfly. So they both push it to the back of their heads and deny it could ever work, making this weird tension between them whenever intimate subjects come up.

On paper it makes sense, hints have been dropped throughout the whole comic's run. But like you said, it's being executed terribly as fuck here.

Yeah she was thinner back then. But I also feel like it's because vero, especially back then, had a hard time coming up with different shapes and body types for the characters and of course the same face is still really awful today.

>Is Paulo supposed to want a nurturing girl who'll always be on his side?
He's gonna become a MILF hunter If the homogay retcon doesn't make him a DILF hunter
Also slutpuppy best puppy.

'least that showed that attempts were made lessons were learned, now she's clearly given up and gone lazy.

>lessons were learned
No.
And going back to the old art style will not help her grow in the slightest either. She really needs to learn realism because if she doesn't she will never be good. Sticking to chibi and generic anime art and never learning higher skilled techniques is the worst thing an artist could do to themselves

>The implication is supposed to be that Paulo and Daisy always feelings for each other but kept repressed due to keeping each other on pedestals.
I suspect you could not show me this in the comic itself. Establishing important character traits and relationships in ancillary material is unacceptable.

Did you know that Jasmine is a devout Christian and is opposed to premarital sex?

she's a dog

Oh I'm not saying it's totally getting set back or anything. All I'm saying is that we've known that they've had feelings for each other for awhile.

That and we know Daisy is desperate for a dicking and a boyfriend.

Dogs are so rare you can't really say if the "races" tend to keep to themselves, sexually.

I mean, I guess they do since they can't breed together.

But the world-building shows no signs of two distinct non-interbreeding populations. It's just a cartoon version of suburban America.

Daisy is a stupid fat loser

You have to admit he makes a good arguement.

Daisy is a mess. A loser. A big fat loser.

...

there's like 1 dog for every 3 cats

>Establishing important character traits and relationships in ancillary material is unacceptable.

It's lazy shit, but that's the norm now.

PAULO was shown to have a crush on Daisy when he was a 14-year-old virgin who'd never had a girlfriend. Given that it hasn't come up in the past TWO YEARS (in-context; more than 10 in real-time!) and he has had such an active love life it's hard to believe it's really been lurking in the back of his mind all this time.

As for Daisy, when did she EVER show interest in Paulo? Did I forget something from volume 1?

Vol 1 was when it was pushed the hardest not counting the current chapter. Go reread it.

Simple, Polo was nice to Daisy, and since she's a female NEET she came to the conclusion that "he's been nice to me, I WANNA RIDE HIS DICK SORE!!"

>ancillary material is unacceptable
I agree. And beyond the first volume, the whole thread seem to have dropped after the Acapulco arc.

The closest i could find would be pic related from Feline Filibuster. Paulo starts the chapter helping Jasmine campaign for student treasurer. But as soon as Daisy enters for student body president, Paulo campaign's for Daisy with no provocation beyond "Don't make her cry", note Jasmine in the bottom panel next to him as he doesn't even give a fuck about how it looks.

Beyond there, there's the lunch scene during "Guest of Honor" but that's more recent and more closely tied with happening right now.

>Fuck I can guarantee that I'll be called bag boy
nah, you'll be called a suitshill. Bagboy's modus operandi is to be passive aggressive towards those who disagree with him on "forums" he doesn't control

I don't give a fuck who these webcomic artist are or become and neither should you.

Also people are sick of seeing you guys have threads three days a week for a furry webcomic you dont even like and can't even have original conversations about because everything that could possibly be said has been said.

The problem being a lot of this behavior is explicable by the "Paulo sees Daisy as a little sister" thing.

It is (again) like a bad anime where people only do favors for someone of the opposite sex if they're in love with them.

and I give a shit?
faggot

Why the fuck would I be seen as a shill just because I don't think you guys give fair or accurate judgments to her character? Like these are some really spiteful threads towards the artist over a shitty weeaboo webcomic. I mean not everyone obviously but you guys are pretty fucking petty. This comic was literally never good ever. Not even once. It showed no signs of any promise or potential ever. I don't blame the artist for making as much money as she can off her shitty art honestly. If I had a shitty webcomic suddenly start making me money I'd milk the fuck out of it while I could.

Didn't they commission a comic of her giving Abbey teh succ once? Times sure have changed.

"Critical Hit" is good. "Carry Me" and "At Loose Ends" have clever aspects. The interaction between Lucy and Augustus across multiple chapters is one of the best things in the series. Playing the anime tsundere thing straight across of all volume 1 and then turning it on its head at the end of that volume was pretty daring.

There WAS some potential here. It's gone now.

Because some of us started reading this as teenagers, reeled in by the drama, when we didn't know any better, and are embittered by a feeling of broken promises and missed oppportunities

Nah, all that was handled sloppily and the art was fucking generic and anatomy was wonky as fuck. And the character are way to generic to ever get emotionally invested in it. You haven't watched a lot of anime if this tsundere surprised and entertained you. I mean, I guess her trying to kill herself was shocking, but the change in artsy just made it hilarious

>If I had a shitty webcomic suddenly start making me money I'd milk the fuck out of it while I could.
Hope you like being shat on at every given opportunity too.

Just look at handstab threads on here, or other similarly shitty comics only existing for circlejerking with "correct" people and moneyfarming.

Sure you'd wanna live that life with everything that entails?

>but the change in artsy just made it hilarious
I'm glad I'm not the only one who couldn't take the drama seriously because of the baby bobblehead art. Seriously ruined it.

Don't forget the condiments

Yeah, the Mike x Lucy thing until Lucy's gone is pretty good. Especially because Lucy gets what she deserves

ignoring internet flame is not hard, and the fact that you get thousands of dollars a month for no effort would be ideal unless you have a very strong moral code and don't want you name of bad things in which case thats fine too.

>ARE YOU INJURED? DO YOU NEED HELP? SHOULD I CALL AN ADULT?

>Hope you like being shat on at every given opportunity too.
By who? The twitter feed? The fucking horror. How will vero ever live with her thousands of dollars a month when people are saying mean things on the internet to her?

...

Forgotten how server stooge has to be her "spam filter"?

And that he had to minimize their social media footprint so his fat ass could manage it.

thanks, i was meaning to save this pic for awhile now.

Wow how awful surely their life is a catastrophe

>thread haunted by shill

>if someone disagrees with me they are a shill

>if someone won't shut up about the threads roasting this comic shouldn't exist, they're a shill
Could be.

"Shill" makes a good point. Why do these threads keep getting made if nobody likes them or the creators? Why did people like this shitty webcomic in the first place, then keep talking about previous chapters as if they were ever good? There's really no reason to keep talking about this; Stockholm syndrome is a myth and the only excitement that ever happens is when a porn artist jumps ship out of his own volition and people get into conspiracy mode. All for a comic everyone agrees is shit?

Seriously? He's a spam filter? Thats it? And they are making a shitload of money to boot? wew lad must be awful having all that criticism to match your huge piles of money.
Who has been pushing that? There was like one user like there always is. Probably the same person from the last time too.

It's like you don't even know what shitposting is.

Exactly. The threads are also really vacant and often have a handful of posters bumping it with repeated opinions from the last thread. I understood making a thread if something actually happens in the comic like during december but right now there is literally nothing to do but parrot.

Nope, I'm a different person from the other user you are thinking about. Believe it or not other people on Sup Forums see these and eventually get curious only to be horrified that people are actually trying to talk about such a shitshow and the threads being a dead horse beating contest. Its a fucking trainwreck.

>This comic was literally never good ever. Not even once. It showed no signs of any promise or potential ever.
Not sure if you're being sincere or if you're trying to bait us into saying something positive about the comic in an attempt to prove you wrong.
Either way, whether it's "objectively good" or not, I still enjoy reading "December" for how savage it gets. It's fucking cathartic.

No, I'm being sincere. There is nothing special about the comic, the dialog was always corny and generic along with the characters themselves. It was always bad, it will remain bad. Just because you were thrown for a loop in some of the drama doesn't mean the vast vast VAST majority of the comic isn't unreadable weeaboo garbage.

She takes life drawing classes now.

Thats great to hear actually. Hope she gets better as an artist and can make something she can actually be proud of and not milk her shitty work anymore.

having a thread on here is better than giving them clicks on their website

He repeadetly said that the comic has always been shit without a glinter of hope for getting better. Doesn't sound much like a shill, to me.

What if you just ignored it entirely instead of advertising it for free on a popular website?

Dunno about the rest of them, but I want more people to suffer through false hopes and shattered dreams like I did, while having a good time in the middle

All you do is give them more advertisement and more clicks to their website or people not knowing wtf bcb is in the first place now being exposed to it. You are helping them.

The goal wouldn't be to promote the comic but shut down uncontrolled reaction to it. Suit wants to "curate" all reception of the comic.

meant for

Suit wouldn't encourage "this comic was always shit and will only ever be shit" narrative user

I bet they will kiss in the next 2 pages!

Being complete honest here...I kinda like the comic. Yes, it's not perfect. Yes, there's a lot wrong with it. Yes, the character development is shit and everyone is a schizo. Yes, the art sucks and keeps changing but it's still far better than anything I can draw. Yes, the story is crap. I refer to this comic as the stupid, shitty cat comic but I'm invested into the characters - as shallow and generic as they may be. So I stick around. After all, I've seen and read way worse web comics.

I stay around because I want to see how bad it gets
and for Amaya

jeez, why does comic inspires me to do a crappier one?
I said that I'm done with the author's bs, however I was done defending her or believing her.

paulo's face looks fucked up as fuck

you're doing god's work, user.
Keep it up, keep us entertained

so is it happening or what?

>Hey, are you listening me?
