Lucy is the worst girl

gettin' real fucking tired of paulo's shit
being awful shitty to the girl he "loves"

Make was right

Wait, the page after Paulo spouting absurd bullshit is it hitting home? lolwut

fuck, wrong gif

Do not read this comic.

"This is so fucking hurtful?" Is Suitcase writing dialogue again?

AHA

AHAHAHAHA

Am I supposed to feel pity for the philanderer?

On one hand, can't see Paulo saying "hurtful" in-character (if such a thing even truly exists in this comic). On the other, it's actually really nice to see Taeshi isn't trying to make Lucy out to be this suddenly wise and enlightened Mary Sue type that can do no wrong. If her retarded push-everyone-away plan implodes in spectacular fashion then maybe the author isn't so hopeless after all.

>I got the point last time
Then why the fuck did you make such a fuss now? Fucking kek

I can't!
Help!

Paulo has reason to be very upset the way Lucy is trying to cut him completely off but the way the dialogue has him express it is very weird.

>if i can't have you no one can

The comic reads better with the last two speech bubbles completely omitted. The dialogue tells us nothing that the images don't.

...

Paulo seriously needs a hug from David or maybe Amaya. He has the worst luck to love a socially stunted heartless bitch.

Honestly, these last few pages were "tolerable" even with the cringey dialogue, but this one just... doesn't work. Too much Paulo being a crying (fountain) pussy.

>Lucy and Augustus watch Paulo leave the area and then go back to making out

This would be good if Paulo expressed his emotions in a way that felt in character and not blubbering like a woman. Its not about "guys feel emotions too!", the only men I've ever seen express their feelings that way are those with effeminate gay personas.

Fuck my opinion, this would work much better:
>The comic reads better with the last two speech bubbles completely omitted. The dialogue tells us nothing that the images don't.

This fucking thread again? What ever happened to the enforcement of Global Rule 3?
>You will not post any of the following outside of Sup Forums: Trolls, flames, racism, off-topic replies, uncalled for catchphrases, macro image replies, indecipherable text (example: "lol u tk him 2da bar|?"), anthropomorphic ("furry") or grotesque ("guro") images, post number GETs ("dubs"), or loli/shota pornography.
>FURRY

>Bloobloo you still won't fuck me, you suck
Paulo is such a whiny little bitch boy.

Why is she crying? Is she watching an add for McDonalds?

ive never really read this comic but i just catch glimpses of the Sup Forums threads and it seems like this is the premise of every single strip???
>hey it looks like you are going through social drama im here to cheer you up
>shut up i'm angry and sad
>wow nevermind fuck you too

I want to fuck them all.

Oh boy, out of character sure is great.

>the only men I've ever seen express their feelings that way are those with effeminate gay personas.
So, those neck deep in Tumblr and twitter that Veronica "follows"?

Yes. It's a high school melodrama.

Basically. I still think its taeshi projecting her own emotional reactions.

Yeah it's really weird but maybe they're trying to get across that Paulo's really broken by this that he can't even act like his usual self.

this, Paulo should be fucking pissed as fuck
Then he should attack Sephiroth

Paulo's sexuality is already suspect

Or he's actually growing up and expressing himself with words more than usual

i picked the wrong gif because i'm a dumb shit

>anything Paulo just said
>grown up
I guess in the sense that a temper tantrum is slightly less immature than punching someone in the face

I mean, yeah, basically. It's hard to go anywhere but up when you start so low.

He looks good in pink.

When it wrecks chapter 2 and 3 worth of Polo show by both making him a wimpy blubbering mess about everything, and wrecks orange x white pairing just like that, then that's no longer the case.

Then it's a case of either pushing a agenda or having a axe to grind, damned be previous character and plot buildup.

Paulo cried when Tess rejected him and attempted to guilt trip her with
>guess I'm not hardcore enough to be with you poor meeeee
So no, this is in character for him. He's always been a bit of a bitch baby.

>69
Nice

There's a difference between tearing up and ugly blubbering while saying "Why would you do this to me??? This is like so fucking hurtful!". Its the difference between a pussy of a guy and a literal woman.

he isnt crying like a fuck though
sure he's teary eyed but it isnt exaggerated n that manor

>it's actually really nice to see Taeshi isn't trying to make Lucy out to be this suddenly wise
Agreed. I never bought the "Lucy is suddenly supposed to be wise" message people thought was being pushed. The whole carnival chapter has her repeatedly having moments of weakness and enjoying the attention only for her to clam up again each time, she denying herself and making up excuses .
There's nothing healthy about making a self-fulfilling prophecy that you're a worthless piece of shit and then intentionally BEING a piece of shit so everyone believes it. Like "I don't want to accidentally hurt the people I love anymore, so I'll do it intentionally instead so they'll leave me alone" is just wallowing in your shit, not improving it. Both her and Mike have a long way to go before either could be considered right.

Shit's been turned up to 11 in Taeshi's recent'ish trend of anime overexaggerating everything.
So it's still out of character by default of the dreadful return of Mangacrap.

After the last page I was sure we were headed to the scene bending backwards to put Lucy in the right but instead it's the final word that Lucy has no retort for? Weird.

The only reason anyone thought she was supposed to be "wise" was because on the surface she looks better next to Mike's Sandy-induced spiral into madness

Why are the white cats semen colored?

Wiseacre Lucy appears whenever she has commentary on other people's relationships.

Yellow? What, semen isn't yellow?

We get two kinds of scene in this comic these days; scenes that feel like they're part of another series because they don't fit with what went before, like Paulo acting like everyone at Daisy's part hates him or the reader being expected to think Mike yelling at Sue is obviously beyond the pale, and scenes where the basic concept works but the dialogue and other aspects of execution distort it almost beyond recognition, like Lucy finally coming clean to Paulo about her feelings about him or here where Lucy's "cut 'em off" strategy backfires by hurting people who love her.

Some kind editanon wipe out that terrible dialogue for us.

I think this is a good candidate for a silent page.

Would have actually been an okay page with no dialogue

People on Facebook seem to believe she's mature though.

Normies are dumb reeeeee

It was a step up for her to stop taking advantage of Paulo as a ready source of affection because she knew he wanted something she didn't actually care to give. The problem comes with the "you'll feel better by Monday" stuff.

Why do you care what people on Facebook think

Due to the clunk-fuck wannabe-anime-tier writing it was pretty easy to see this as Lucy wanting to be with her friends but making a "noble" sacrifice and the comic agreeing. Lucy still probably feels this way and it's relieving to see her being clearly made out to be a dumbass. I say this because Taeshi is shit at being subtle. She either doesn't leave enough clues and compensates by bitching out at her readers for not being psychic or otherwise mis-telegraphs her intent and then yells some more.

If you do you might have a warped view of reality.

It's always a combination of "Character A is right, but just being an asshole about it" or "Character B is wrong, but their viewpoint is understandable", or C "Character is just retarded which leads to endless arguments here about who's the worst person for it. As another user pointed out, it's probably just sunken cost fallacy at this point.

One character usually embodies A, B and C all at the same time.

>1. To have a sexual affair with someone who is not one's spouse or partner. Used especially of a man.
>2. To have many casual sexual affairs. Used especially of a man.
>3. Archaic To flirt. Used especially of a man.
You've got sense 3 at best and not all the time.

It's looking more likely that Lucy's hypocrisy in dealing with Paulo (compared to how Mike dealt with her) is deliberate.

Best I could do

Pretty good

I think Lucy's guilty face works a lot better if he just walks away crying like that.

>You suck
Well, he's not wrong

>98799828
That's fine. The effect in the background makes it pretty easy to blend together I imagine

What kind of emotionally fucked up women are you hanging out with that you think this is normal behaviour for one?

>Mike will never ahegao on your dick
Why even go on, lads?

Yeah, this and Sue's "You're so unpleasant" were kind of awkward. I'm not sure if it's the wording or just that the statements are so direct.

What is goth cat's expression in the last panel supposed to convey?

Daily reminder that Mike is always right

"bad news for my only bud"

Sue line would make sense if Sue was a mild-mannered, genteel person who doesn't like to agitate people...but she's actually a pompous judgmental grump so it sounds really weird coming from her.

Pity/sympathy with maybe a dash of worrying that she could do something stupid/destructive because of this, probably to herself. Maybe he'll say something next page and we'll get a brief intermission from The Goddamn Paulo Crying Program.

Bet he's using people's reaction to his own behavior as content if that's true.

Either way, it's clear they want to change character personalities to something simpler.

"You're such an asshole"

Probably would have flowed better

With so few pages left I thought this scene would go clear to the end of the chapter. I'm glad it's ended now.

This should be his catchphrase from now on.

She's either one depending on who's she's talking to. In this case, she just watched Mike slam a dude's face into a table, so mincing her words makes sense. That said, it's still a clunky line.

...

>Not this shit again

I'm kinda of interested on what his final verdict is on all of this. He doesn't really give a shit about any of Lucy's friends and is probably happier that way, but at some point he's gotta admit how fucked up it is the way she's acting.

autism

Paulo deserves someone who appreciates him

That he does :^)

Paulo deserves someone who appreciates him and isn't fat

lmfao some of these lines seem more calculated than from genuine emotion

Even Taeshi can only write so much of Paulo crying before she just isn't feeling it anymore.

>or maybe I'll just be one of those guys who won't amount to anything.

Paulo is for Mike

Paulo's dad is a saint!

Don't be mean to fa- I mean fluffy kitty.

Mike go be salty about your play pretend GF getting reamed by a producer somewhere else

polo more like polio amirite guys

...

Did anyone catch a glimpse of the spoiler page during last drawstream?

She better be crying lard, 'cause she sure ain't needing more of it.

>i saved myself just for you! All those other girls and fucking rachel doesn't count

I figure he meant he didn't romantically commit to another girl.
