A page from the webcomic Bittersweet Candy Bowl. It’s page 51 from the chapter “Eternal Flame.”

Mike and Lucy are having a conversation at night in a park while it’s snowing.

Panel 1
Lucy: __Sure__ you don’t wanna smack it up a bit?
Mike, rubbing his eye after crying: Ugh.. I’m too drained to be angry right now.

Panel 2
Mike, cricking his back: I feel like.. I was carrying something really heavy, and now.. it’s just gone.
Lucy, smiling: Breakups can do that.

Panel 3
Lucy, feeling the snow fall onto her hand: It’s getting pretty late, you know.

Panel 4
Lucy: Do you think you’ll be okay?
Mike: I dunno..

Panel 5
Mike, touching his chest with his hands, face off-sceen: It hurts..

Panel 6
Lucy, smiling: You’ve dealt with worse.

Panel 7
Lucy, continuing to talk while the panel focuses on Mike staring at her as he continues to rub his eye and clean away his tears: Might feel like crap now, but one day you’re gonna look back on this and cringe.

Panel 8
Lucy: “Why was I such a bitch?” “Why’d I even shed a tear for this girl!” Y’know.
Mike, nervously: Heh.

A page from the webcomic Bittersweet Candy Bowl. It’s page 29 from the chapter “Back and Forth.”

Panel 1
Paulo stands in the hallway holding a soda can. He grins at Mike, laughing and scratching his ear.
Paulo: Hahahaha! The MAIN ROLE?! How'd a shrimp like you manage THAT?!

Panel 2
Paulo: Hahahaha!
Mike glares over his shoulder at Paulo from his open locker.

Panel 3
Mike crosses his arms and scowls at Paulo.
Mike: I could stop paying for the Blasto, you know.
Paulo grins and points his thumb at his chest, still holding the soda.
Paulo: You want the bike, I stomach the soda. You NEED me.

Panel 4
Mike stands by his locker, frowning at Paulo. Behind him, two shadowy shapes approach.
Mike: I'll save up for one instead! It's better than having to deal with your crap.

Panel 5
Paulo: Oh, you're so mad.
Mike looks away, frowning. Behind him, the two shadowy shapes face away from Mike. Exclamation points appear over their heads.
Mike: Shut up. None of you guys take me seriously..

Panel 6
Paulo: Oh, I'm sorry, dude. Wanna talk about it?
Mike smiles, looking surprised. He puts his hand back in his locker. Behind him, a shadowed figure runs away.
Mike: What, really?

Panel 7
Paulo: Actually, I don't give a rat's ass HAHAHAHAH
Mike frowns, staring at Paulo with a hurt expression. He pulls a "MATH WORK BOOK FOR DUMMIES" from his locker. Behind Mike, dark figures approach.

Panel 8
*Mike scowls and slams his locker shut. His outstretched arm inadvertently blocks Tess and Lucy as they run up behind him.*
Mike: Why do I BOTHER with you, Paulo?!

Panel 9
Mike looks startled as Tess and Lucy run up, looking furious. The panel darkens behind them.

Panel 10
Mike stands in front of Paulo, cringing with his fur and tail puffed out. Lucy and Tess lean toward Paulo with furious expressions, their tails bristling in irritation and arms straight at their sides. Paulo stares at them without reaction, still holding his soda.
Lucy and Tess: PAULO YOU MAN WHORE!!

A page from the webcomic Bittersweet Candy Bowl. It’s page 28 from the chapter “Link Play.”

Mike is having a phone call with his girlfriend Sandy in his room. He’s lying on his bed.

Panel 1
Sandy is talking to Mike on the phone, he sits on his bed listening carefully
Sandy: Honestly, I was gonna try to keep it as a surprise, but..

Panel 2
Sandy: The way this break is turning out, I might be able to visit Roseville sometime in February?
Sandy: I thought we could spend ~Valentine’s Day~ together!

Panel 3 shows Mike sitting there, thinking it over, with a small surprise. But not necessarily joy.

Panel 4
Mike leans back into the pillow of his bed, with a smile on his face
Mike: That sounds pretty nice!
Sandy: Well, don’t get TOO excited!

A page from the webcomic Bittersweet Candy Bowl. It’s page 33 from the chapter “Double Down.”

Mike and Daisy are having a conversation in the school library. This is after Mike kissed Daisy on the cheek.

Panel 1
Daisy stares at Mike with shock in her eyes, her face blushing brightly. Mike is looking away from her, ashamed.
Daisy: What?
Mike: Sorry.

Panel 2
Daisy, touching her face: No, seriously, WHAT?

Panel 3
Mike, turned away from Daisy, his expression not visible: I thought.. this’d make me and Sandy even now, right? If she’s gonna keep secrets, might as well have one of my own.

Panel 4
Mike, looking annoyed and defeated: Ugh, that’s so dumb. Why do I want to make things fair? None of this is fair. LIFE isn’t fair. None of this matters.

Panel 5
Mike, burying his face into his blue scarf: Maybe Paulo knew what he was talking about. I could have let all those girls do whatever they wanted to me. Why not if I’m just gonna get cheated on anyway.

Panel 6
Mike, turning to look at Daisy: Why’d I never give you a chance? We should have dated. We could’ve—

Panel 7
Daisy suddenly kisses Mike passionately on the lips, there are swirls in her eyes to show how crazy she’s being. Mike is in utter shock and blushes brightly.

Panel 8
The make-out continues, as Mike wraps his arms around Daisy and they continue this absurd affair.

Omg same hat…..

A comic about how I misplace items all the time and sometimes they end up in areas I did not expect.

Panel 1, me looking around my desk, including next to my keyboard, behind my elevated wacom tablet, and near my reference books: Where the hell is my tablet pen?!
Panel 2, as I walk past another room, something on the floor catches my attention.
Panel 3, it turns out the tablet pen is on the floor right outside the bathroom
Panel 4, I stare at the tablet with frustrated confusion, question marks appearing all around me. How the hell did it end up there? Did I carry it with me to the bathroom? And if i did, how did I not notice it before I left? What is up with my brain

Everytime I watch Perfect Blue and especially this time in the theater, I truly lament Satoshi Kon’s early departure from this world. Like on a shoestring budget he made every single shot count. And there’s truly nothing like it.

Revenge for @echofrage.bsky.social on #Artfight!

Neither snow nor rain nor heat nor gloom of night stays these couriers from the swift completion of their appointed rounds…… be nice to them!!!

A drawing of the character Rich for echofrage on Artfight!

Rich is a tall delivery man with dirty blonde hair and blue eyes, and a scar on the bridge of his nose. He’s wearing a green and grey and black uniform as he carries an awkwardly big and heavy package to its destination, it has a giant “FRAGILE” label on it. A little dog yaps at him in the background.
