I gotta re read that chapter cuz o don't think that's the whole story

Alec

Rip Mike.

Red Miso

He killed him!

Fiver

Absolutely love the new coloring style

Zambies

Im so shook

PAM

I mean… sort of right. Paulo’s face at the end is a very appropriate expression considering.

Zambies

Lowkey is David wrong tho 🤔

Nev Ravenoak

Besides the point, but I really like the shapes of David's legs on this page. Loving the fresh art direction for this chapter!

Zambies

I LOVE LUCY GETTING ANOTHER FRIEND WITH NO ROMANTIC INTEREST IN HER

Relathain

David giving the usual David response. It is why we love him.

PAM

What do y'all think Paulo’s more put off by — what David said or how he said it?

Elizabeth Hunter

Wow, I'm amazed that the most accurate analysis of Mike's behavior would come from David??? But also, thank god Paulo is being given a deeper look into the issues Mike is going through; he can't help if Mike doesn't admit his issues. Also: I love the new art style!! <3

M.L. Scotland

Straight to the point and clear minus the ending. Good job David.

SomeColourMage

ummm something seems off about this explanation like the murder part, that's a bit off but also something else tbh

Fiver

David, master of being right and wrong at the same time

Antares

He did kill him though, that did happen.

AlienSpawn

Yeah David and Paulo aren’t gonna be friends anymore I can feel it, David is omitting how he said everyone prefers Lucy over Mike and that he’s half responsible along with Augustus for Mike being all alone now.

Friends of the Wildcat Library

Seeing this sort of sudden group "realization" about Mike's needy behavior from Augustus, David, James, and it feels very final season. It's not like Lucy didn't say it often but that she came off the same way (Paulo is the main example, plus her clinging *back* to Mike), so this is new from others. Is it accurate? I think it's complicated! Is this the explanation the narrative resolves on? Maybe, but that would be reducing Mike down to one explanation imo; he is built of contradictions and that's what makes him so interesting as a character.

Insomni-act

He's not lying. He definitely killed him

Salmon

Loving this new style !!

Mandy Seley

The new style looks lovely! <3

Ah, I would guess this is playing into the "Mike spiraling" arc - his friends might end up misinterpreting this as Mike engaging in his signature behavior of being weird around people who have moved on after crushing on him... Not realizing that he's withdrawing this time because of depression instead. Kind of giving a narrative reason for his friends, who do care about him, to not be as aware of his mental health decline.

Arctic

Praying this is not going to just be a dream chapter for someone because of the name...

SCD

David will soon be on the America's Most Wanted list.

Comacoma

Yessss, David, good read! I don’t think this is a bad take, just a very simplified one, haha, but very David. I’d be so quietly mad at Mike for trying to take my cute spunky cat boy from me when all he wanted James for was to keep him pining after him. :Y Mike you always get all the attention stop being a baby jeez (EDIT: still love u mike hope u grow and get better you beautiful mess)

Machias

A pretty accurate summation all things considered. He even did Mike a favor by leaving out the part where Mike threw a tantrum, screamed at Lucy, & assaulted Augustus 👍

Tyzel

I mean it's technical not wrong, Mike is a ghost right now after getting murdered by 4 people. My question is that why did Paulo go to David for a straight, unbiased answer? Btw I am loving the new style! It's gives a emotional vibe.

Candyboi6576

The new style reminds me of the earlier Volume 2 colouring and its so pleasing to the eye 😩😩

Steven Pope

He’s not technically wrong but he’s leaving out a LOT. God, did he never really like Mike?

Russell Nils

The new style is looking good, not sure about teal David though.

Amione

Pretty sure that David doesnt know that Mike craved death earlier and thinks that Mike is going to try to kill himself... EVERYBODY knows that Mike seriously does not understand how friendships work and thinks that he cannot be an inconvenience or people will leave him.

Kirk Findlay

He's not exactly wrong, but there's alot he left out. Both things Mike might want not told and things that add alot of context. There's hardly anyone else he can ask though. But if he asked Lucy and she invoked the promise he should tell her to fuck off and times have changed.
