Paolo got those "fuck me" eyes

She needs to stop doing that shadow / missing eyes shit, it does not look good with chibi trash.

Paulo just drama'd the soul out of Mike

Why the fuck did Mike get all gloomy and stressed out? It's not clear but it feels like the author wanted it to be

the shadow eyes thing doesnt work when the characters have no hair to actually cover their faces and you show enough of their heads for the eyes missing to be noticeable.

Other than that, meh page. Nothing horrible but nothing great either.

These two should stop giving a fuck about the bitches that keep messing with them and just play some video games together.

I think(?) that what Paulo said caused Mike to apply the "pain in the ass who can't say their feelings" label to himself and then get self deprecating. But it's not clear and doesn't narratively fit current events all that well, so it just seems like Mike is taking any thin excuse to feel bad about him, logic be damned

Yup

Guess the bishit Paulo comes back every now and again doesn’t he?

I just assumed it made him think of Lucy and he knows that whole thing is a massive mess.

threadly reminder that Mike did nothing wrong

>Paulo realizes he's being a hypocrite
>changes his behavior
If only Lucy was around to watch and learn.

It feels like he'd react differently if he connected the dogs about Lucy, but it doesn't convey well regardless

Don't read this shit, but from what I got, those two cats should ditch the women around them and fuck each other. Is that it?

Yeah I thought it meant he realized Paulo was getting shit from Lucy and implying he didn't deal with it well when it was him getting it.

>OP picrel is lower res
how do you fuck THAT up?

No, they all suck and should be put in isolation units to keep the toxic waste contained before it spreads further

literal good ending, let Lucy fester in self pity, and leave that cheater Sandy, just become smash bros

Taeshi doesn't want to be clear because Suitcase meme'd to her that ambiguity = art, but at the same time she'll scream at people for not understanding whatever the hell she's getting at. It's the worst of both worlds

Maybe we could convince Taeshi that the ultimate art is to just stop the comic and leave the rest completely ambiguous

>Lucy gets replaced as friend by Paulo
GOOD

I see.

nah they should ditch Lucy. Both of them get worse when she comes around and she's a pain in the ass to deal with

It makes more sense for Mike to be blaming himself over Lucy, so your scenario is almost certainly closer to the truth. Mike was certainly open about his feelings, and aggressively so at that.

It's strange how this chapter got better once Lucy was gone.

Mike's either thinking about Sandy or Lucy now, because both of them are a major pain in the ass to him. But he has very complicated feelings for both of them

>Taeshi's comic ruined by SC
>James Rolfie's career ruined by April
This is your brain on marriage

Mike wouldn't even need to realize what Paulo's referring to. The Lucy fiasco should be first and foremost in Mike's own mind but I'm sure this will be more Sandy shit because that's all he is allowed to think about anymore.

Marriage is fine or even great if your partner isn't a self-serving egoist or a perma-buttmad lunatic

He wasn't open about his feelings of frustration with Sandy and took it out on his friends. Regarding Paulo he should actually feel bad about it because he tried to help him (Sue is a cunt).

>James Rolfie's career ruined by April
The fat man's name is April?

Toward Sandy, Mike wasn't so much failing to his own feelings as seething in personal denial.

In 10 days it'll be May

>they keep bringing up bi Paulo
Since when? The last time was that awful bowling alley chapter.

Paulo being bi has been poorly handled in almost every conceivable way, yes

Next page: Paulo comforts Mike, they stare into each other's eyes for a moment, and Mike asks if Paulo is going to tell him what happened and Paulo playfully shoves him away

That sounds reasonable

It's all so tiresome

Why the hell would they not both be talking about your dysfunctional Mary Sue fursona you absolute twit?

Heh sad cat

Mike is supposed to be self deprecating because he hates himself, despite how little this label applies to him

KISS FUCKING KISS ALREADY!!!!!!

Anybody else read this but isn't really into furry outside of this comic?

Is this movie an allegory for being on your first period

Why would Mike not self-deprecate over how poorly he handled things with Lucy? I can certainly see it working from that angle. Hell, this would even work as a joke about how so many characters suffer from this exact problem if Lucy wasn't the biggest, most overwhelming example by far.

He and Paulo are officially hitting it off again so that's it

Frankly this comic is so poorly drawn that any spank bank material is sourced almost exclusively from superior fan art. Therefore I hesitate to call it furry save for the fact that it makes its closeted furry creators seethe

It makes sense but most of the Patreon comics definitely took it as Mike talking about himself. They're braindead but the
>n-noy easily, I guess
From Mike doesn't really make any sense if he's talking about Lucy, unless he's just autistically reminiscing on what a sad little tsundere Lucy is

Kind of, the parents THINK that it's her period kek
but then it's just muh magical transformation.
Nothing new or exciting except by the end the Character decides to keep her panda powers instead of being a normie human.
after that she says "My panda my choice!" which is extremely cringe.
And that's pretty much it. The animation is really cartoony which is the only enjoyable thing about the movie if you're older than 14.

Despite the art being bad I really don't like most BCB drawn porn, doesn't capture the uwu anime cat look well enough for me. I prefer reading fics and just imagining the characters the way they're drawn, but better

That line sounds like something a thoroughly regretful Mike would say. And you're absolutely right about the patreons, which is another reason I tend to disregard the possibility Mike's talking about himself.

Furry and don't even read this shit or know what's going on just fap to the visuals

desu the line is just so vague I have trouble guessing what it would actually apply to. Bravo on the ambiguity Taeshi

>What the fuck? Why are some of them naked, but the others wear clothes? Is society made up of mostly nudists in this universe?
>Why the fuck did the blue cat come crawling back to her?

There's not much to fap to with how shit the art is

The stuff I'm talking about isn't pornographic. The point is that some fan artists draw the cats well enough that attraction becomes possible.

Never has been

>the line is just so vague I have trouble guessing what it would actually apply to
Seems pretty straightforward to me. Paulo asks Mike how he handles those types of people. Mike thinks back to how he started treating Lucy, what he said to her, where that ended up going, how he kept flipping out after she came back, then their most recent interaction. Plenty reason for Mike to decide he's not good at handling such people. And of course he could also be thinking about Sandy as well since it sort of applies to how he handled her too. Failures all around on his part, at least in Mike's mind.

Paulo is such a two faced little slut, I hate him.

Nah

It'd because he's bi, one face for his gay side, one face for his normal side

On one hand, I'm glad he's not officially so mature as the discord cult loves to insist. On the other, his obvious character flaws will not serve as the basis for any interesting character arc as this is BCB. Even before the post-Return nosedive, Paulo got hit with the reset button every other week.

Paulos behavior now makes me want to believe him asking Lucy if she wants him to ditch Mike forever was just rhetorical but his insistence means I know that's bullshit
If anything I hope he's just done with Lucy for a while, just like Mike

>one face for his normal side

It's an allegory for being a furry

You just know by the next chapter Paulo is gonna drag his sorry ass back to Lucy

What the fuck were they thinking?!

Paulo reflexively shits on Mike and chases after Lucy. Both are habits he's developed over years and so given how Mike's been ooc insufferable as of late, I understand why Paulo needs a reminder that Mike's a far better friend

Mike and Paulo need to touch each other's barbs already. There's so much tension between the two, every interaction they have feels like they're an inch away from making out.
