Quite possibly the [[Up to Eleven|ultimate]] [[Will They or Won't They?]], ''[http://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/ Bittersweet Candy Bowl]'' is a webcomic by [http://taeshilh.deviantart.com/ Taeshi]. It follows a group of [[Funny Animal|feline friends]] through middle and high school, focusing primarily on a [[White-Haired Pretty Girl|pretty, white-colored]] [[Tsundere]] called Lucy, and her ongoing crush/rivalry with [[Nice Guy]] Mike. Also featured are [[Love Triangle|Love Triangles]]s (actually, a developing [[Love Dodecahedron]]) among the resident [[Jerk with a Heart of Gold]] Paulo, [[Moe|cheery]] [[Teen Genius]] Daisy, Token Older Girl Tessa, [[Cloudcuckoolander]] David, and Abbey, Daisy's [[Sickeningly Sweethearts|now boyfriend]] with a [[Dark and Troubled Past|troubled past]]. And now there are three new girls added to the cast. They are Jessica, a strong-willed cheerleader who [[Bi the Way|has a fancy for Lucy]] and hates/dislikes Tess, Rachel, a cheerful girl who's also a cheerleader and also holds a grudge against Tess, and Jasmine, Paulo's [[Third Option Love Interest|new girlfriend]].
 
A deep sufferer of [[Cerebus Syndrome]], ''Bittersweet Candy Bowl'' started off almost entirely lighthearted but delved into heavy drama as the characters moved to high school — there are still jokes, though they are [[True Art Is Angsty|incr]][[Green-Eyed Epiphany|eas]][[Love Hurts|ingly]] [[Dark and Troubled Past|ra]][[Long-Distance Relationship|re.]]
 
The series makes use of anthropomorphic cats, dogs, and birds, but these are derived more from the [[Funny Animal|Funny Animals]]s trope than any serious links to whatever classifies as a true [[Furry Comic]]. The characters were developed when the author was young and presumably unaware of the [[Furry Fandom]]. The comic is an ongoing serial, and is published three times a week.
 
Often in a [http://topwebcomics.com/vote/10137/default.aspx Top Webcomics] vote drive. The comics used as incentives can be seen in their entirety by joining BCI (Bittersweet Club International).
Line 37:
* [[A Date with Rosie Palms]]: [http://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c33.1/p5.html Carter at the end of Box of Tricks.]
* [[Barbie Doll Anatomy]]: Half of the cast walk around in the nude!
** ...and then for some reason seem embarrassed by [[Wardrobe Malfunction|Wardrobe Malfunctions]]s.
*** Early on, Paulo was shown to be cheating with pockets. Taeshi doesn't have confidence in drawing clothes much.
*** It's pretty clear that those wearing clothes and showing things they shouldn't is a [[Conveniently-Common Kink|turn-on]].
Line 104:
** See the example for [[Breaking the Fourth Wall]] above.
* [[Can't Live with Them, Can't Live Without Them]]: Mike and Lucy. {{spoiler|Originally, at least. As of "Pillow Talk", Michael acts like he can't stand Lucy, while Lucy seems to not be able to live without him.}}
** The comic is like this for [[Fan Dumb|some]]. <ref>Particularly a guy called Thanatos, who wants Paulo to die painfully.</ref>
* [[Cannot Spit It Out]]: [http://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c53/p2.html "Maybe I should just dance around the subject and give everyone headaches. There, problem solved, the Lucy way."]
** And then she did. {{spoiler|[[Failure Is the Only Option|It didn't help.]]}}
Line 368:
{{quote|[http://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c14/p2.html Ovaries]}}
* [[Nosebleed]]: [http://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c63/p19.html Not a comedic one,] like the other examples were.
* [[No Yay]]: In-Universe. David trying to ship Paulo with Daisy consistently [[squickSquick|squicked]]ed him. Probably the [[Incest Subtext]]. Though, as David brought up, they're [[Not Blood Siblings]]. Jasmine [http://www.bittersweetcandybowl.com/c62/p18.html agrees] with the ship. At least teasingly.
* [[Not So Different]]: [[A Date with Rosie Palms|Lucy and Paulo]] in "Magic Tricks".
* [[Only Known by Their Nickname]]: Alec,<ref>McCain</ref>, Augustus,<ref>Final Fantasy Cat</ref>, and Alejandro<ref>Rapecat</ref> are not often referred to by name.
* [[Only Sane Man]]: Sue
** McCain thinks of himself as this, but his general lack of tact says otherwise.
Line 415:
* [[Scars Are Forever]]:
** Final Fantasy Cat has a scar he tries to cover up with his hair.
** Kizuna has one on her left arm. She begins to explain, but then David cuts her off and we never hear how she got it. <ref>It's been explained on the forums that she got it from a [[Yakuza]] hitman attempting to kill her after offing her parents.</ref>
** [[Out of Focus]], but Alejandro got a scar from his old girlfriend. It's one of his defining appearance details.
* [[Senseless Sacrifice]]: Mike ended up drunk and multiple others ''and'' Mike took a beating over the money Mike won, which the main cast believed they'd need to get a ride home. Then Sue's mom drove them home.
Line 441:
* [[Significant Birth Date]]: The Flower Girl was born on March 27, when Yukio Ozaki donated cherry trees to Washington D.C.
** Molly was born on Children's Day in Japan.
** Augustus was born on October 11st, which is the day [[Image Boards|4chan]] was founded.
*** RULES ONE AND TWO
*** Which, of course, haven't actually been broken yet.
