Hello everyone, welcome to a new Las Lindas page. So Miles aint going down that easily, it seems. I bet he developed an endurance for it after a whole life of punishment! Anyways! We’ll have to wait and see what Rach will do on next page, which is the last one before the next arc start!
  • Spanky

    And thus begins the count down to the mother of all flame wars.

    • Caboose

      I can smell the shit storm of long winded “this character is better than Mora” and ” this character is so much better that Rachael” speeches already xD

      • Spanky

        well good thing they are on a fram right?

    • RandomRedneck

      I’m already prepping the popcorn.

    • Krocialblack

      It’s a shame really. It takes the fun out of reading the comic. Seeing a bunch of people have bitch fits over the internet. There should be a feature where you can disable comments, so you don’t have to see the mindless BS and gibberish people decides to spew out their asses each and every weel. Seriously, Las Lindas/Katbox is starting to become another Youtube community. And that is NOT a good thing.

      smh -__-

      • Kanashe

        Oh yes, perish the thought of people not liking the characters, the writing, or hell even voicing their dislike for something. Nope, we can’t have that, instead let’s just have everyone praise and kiss asses, and worship this comic like it’s next best thing to sliced bread.

        • Marq FJA

          Bitch fits =/= dislike. Likewise, not wanting bitch fits =/= brownosing.

          That is all I have to say about this.

          • Kanashe

            Why yes, yes it does equal brownosing. Because then all we’ll have are tools who will just praise this damn comic from the high heavens. They can’t say anything negative bout it, because they are scared of hurting Chalo’s feelings. Since he’s SUCH a special lil’ snowflake, that nobody must say anything about about.

          • Jarin

            Because readers are somehow physically incapable of expressing criticism without resorting to absurd levels and volume of immature complaint? Or do you have a very different definition of the phrase “bitch fits” than I do?

          • Kanashe

            No,because it seems majority of people here only have enough braincells to just praise this comic, and nothing else. An whenever someone comes out and say’s something negative, they are labelled as a hater.

          • Random

            Here’s a lil advice a friend gave me when I went on a rant about a comic.
            ” it’s a webcomic. It cant hurt you. Just sit, relax and enjoy the shiny”

          • Kanashe

            Oh yeah? Well this is what you can tell your friend: I’ll rant on any webcomic if it’s badly written, and the audience act like a bunch of brainless sheep. Just because it’s ‘free’ doesn’t mean it shouldn’t be ignored for fair criticism and review. So drink down that burn sauce.

          • RoaKaun

            *jumps up and down, pointing at Kanashe* TROLL!! I sees ‘em, Mah! It’sa TROLL! Jus like ya said they do… Yup, ahah.. sees all the folks gatherin’ around it, givin’ it attention.. just look at it Preen… yup.. a TROLL in full plumage..

          • ravor9933

            oh thanks I needed that for my tacos

          • EOTW

            You’re acting like we need a negatively constructive voice to be heard, but you aren’t actually providing one. All you’re saying is that the comic sucks and the people who like it are stupid. You have provided no worthy evidence to support your claims, and your argument is neither sound nor valid. Oh, and I think you may have trolled in your pants. Might wanna clean that up…

          • Solidus

            Really? The guy pretty much said why the comic is bad, i.e. the story writing is shit and that’s not enough proof for you? What do ya need, a frickin’ two page essay with details on why every story arc/plot point is nothing more than one tired cliche after another?

          • Idders

            That user has been blacklisted. I believe that we give ample room for criticism but I don’t have the patience for rudeness.

          • EOTW

            Remind me to never piss you guys off. XD

          • MadHatter

            Doesn’t look to me that you give room for criticism, since people usually get lambasted for calling out the bad story writing. But I will say you have ample room for ass kissing and praising.

          • Idders

            “people usually get lambasted for calling out the bad story writing.”

            I don’t ban people for discussing. I ban people when they cross a line of rudeness that I dont feel like tolerating. If you don’t like it, don’t comment here. Instead, go here: http://tgfb.net/com/res/8824.html#8824

            Then TURN OFF THE ABILITY TO POST COMMENTS THEN IF YOU CAN’T HANDLE IT!!! Message/Comment boards will ALWAYS attract unwanted vermin, so you either turn it off or you take the vermin like a man or else you can wallow in your own self pity! Your call.

          • Marq FJA

            Uh, might be a silly question, but… Any particular reason why my comment above was deleted along with the one I was responding to?

          • The Science of Deduction

            Thats the thing though. It’s not fair criticism. It’s just plain insults. “Like a bunch of brainless sheep”. That’s what you said, word for word. That’s insulting. If you just said, “I can complain about any comic I chose, whether its badly written, or the audience acts like it could be the new bible.”

            Look, do what you choose, but I only request you at least do it a little more respectfully.

          • Random

            I dunno, I find the concept just I lil’ amusing. Mental image anyway.

          • Random

            Uhm… Ol’ Chalodillo’s been at this fer a while, I’m sure that if he’s made it this far he’s got a fairly thick skin.but what is needed is CONSTRUCTIVE technical criticism. Sure, love and hate the characters, that’s what they’re there for. And of course, love or hate the story arc, that’s your prerogative. but unless you have suggestions that actually HELP the artist develop their skillset, griping about the end product is really just blowing smoke.( digitally of course) I for one am enjoying the comic even if the plot is a little predictable. It makes me laugh, and I like Chalos technique. I’ve read the comic from the beginning and I admire the amount of refinement he’s put into his art over the course of the story. I also envy his talent…. A lot. Now it probably sounds like I’m trying to brownnose, gods I’ve just reread this and that’s what it sounds like to me. But I’m sure that if everyone here has been reading the comic this far, it can’t really be all that awful.

          • Kanashe

            I think it has been said many times before, the story in this comic is horrible, it is just one tired cliche after ‘nother. Hell, the “mah daddy is an evil super Sajan” was pretty much the worst of all. Not only was it just dumb and came out of nowhere, but it was nothing more than a cheap gimmick to make us feel sorry for a character who was nothing but a massive bag of bitch. An people were actually stupid enough to fall for it. I’m not attacking Chalo’s art, hell not at any point was I even saying the art was bad. An frankly, whenever people critiqued the story, they got beaten down and said that they are just jealous haters. Finally, let’s face it, people are just reading this comic for one reason: Tits and ass.

          • DarkGuyver2020

            Clearly you haven’t read Rascals then? It takes everything bad about Las Lindas and cranks it up to eleven. It’s just blatant fanservice.

          • Solidus

            I think Rascals is kinda on a different level. An yeah, it’s bad, REALLY bad. But that comic and ther author least know they are making just fanservice (or well,cheescake for sake of chees cake), and kinda at times feels tongue and cheek (almost like a cheesie B-movie.) But the issue with Las Lindas is that is takes every bad cliche, rolls with and tracks to act all serious and dramatic. An it just ends up being laughable at best.

          • ravor9933

            I have many things to say but I won’t because I don’t want to give you the satisfaction

        • The Person Who Speaks Truth

          At first I thought you where an idiot. Now it turns out, you’re an idiotic troll. Seriously, I’ve been watching you, and every week you come to the comic, never with anything good to say. Just petty insults and rants about how you think the comic is so “cliche” and “terrible”. Maybe you should right your own web comic? And see how far you go?

          Meh. Like people is going to care about the opinions of people who sit on their fat asses and bitch all day. Go back to Youtube or 4Chan or what ever deep depths of darkness you come from.

          And oh by the way. Your idea of criticism =/= Constructive criticism. Just food for thought.

          • Aaron

            “If you don’t like it, let’s see you do better!” is the worst argument anywhere ever. You don’t have to be a high class chef to know when food sucks.

            you don’t have to eat food that sucks, though. ^^

          You are a gentleman and a scholar

        • Dragonlrod354

          no no no, i don’t think you got the meaning here. hes talking about youtube style comments, its less voicing opinion and more bitching because they can, opinions have structure. Most negatives on on this sight rant bitch in such a long winded form they hope nobody will have the patience to reed the entire thing and then when someone states the opposite of that opinion, the negative goes on to bitch about the new contender being wrong. were talking about those people, not the people who state they’re opinions Negative or positive intelligently posing what he thinks on the plot and characters in a comment that is readable in one lifetime (exaggeration) without setting a tone that would imply that everyone else of different opinion is wrong.

        • Krocialblack

          Are you going to troll me everywhere I go? Because honestly it’s getting old. Really old. And if you don’t like the comic? Don’t read it. Simple. You’re just complaining because you can. And I’m sure it’s getting on everyone else nerves. And just so you know. Thumbing up your comments doesn’t make you look smarter than you really are.

          • Solidus

            See, this is why fanboys like you always get smacked around. Because you can only go “Don’t like it, well don’t read it.” Which just shows you can’t make a good counter argument, and instead result to these pathetic arguments.

            He has a point though. If this wasn’t a free webcomic, I doubt that anyone without an interest in it would read it.

    I hope they become friends but dot get together

    This can either go really good… or really bad. Either way… Dammit!!!!! I just realised I have to wait a whole week to see what happens next.

  • Brootn4cer

    Well, It does seem that Miles is a masochist on some level. Nice that he did say the he liked Rachel. She so did not want to hear that!

  • Thief

    My guess is he wants to win some money by her fighting in the ring.

  • Chessrook44

    • Gourry Gabrief

      nah! That would be an immature reason, and Miles would teach her that love overcomes age and origin. If you don’t want Rach to fall for Miles, don’t give her more weaknesses.

  • antcow

    Aww come on, he could have given back just as much, there is no reason she could not have been treated equally after all. :P

  • http://rishi-chan.deviantart.com/ rishi_chan

    I had a feeling something like this would happen. Honestly, I find this page to be pretty cute, even with Rachael still beating his ass. The way this page ties into an older conversation they had, but now ending on a softer note, brought a smile to my face. I like now we can see Rachael starting to cool down now that her anger has been let out. Kudos to Miles here, I’m seeing some much needed character develoupment from him. Even if he still isn’t my favourite character and I don’t want to see these two hook up, I really want them to become friends. People really love to hate Rachael because of her aggressiveness, but she isn’t an self-centered bitch or a bully or anything. Perhaps being protective of yourself and being selfish can been seen as going hand in hand. But Miles brought this upon himself and I’m really glad he’s one to not only handle her aggressive and stubborn behavior, but accepts it, too. +1up

    • León Manuel

      Actually, Rachel is protective for selfish reasons; she wants Sarah to stay with her. Hell, she’s even “protecting” her from the truth. What else would you call not letting Sarah know her family was going to get her from the orphabage?
      The only time Rachel acted selflessly was when she rescued Digit, not willing to let Sarah carry the guilt of murder.

      • http://rishi-chan.deviantart.com/ rishi_chan

        Don’t get me wrong, I’m not trying to say all of Rachael’s actions are justified because they aren’t. She’s a very flawed character and has her share of mistakes, but I still love her a lot. She was a child when she ran away with Sarah, she didn’t have the mind of an adult so she couldn’t comprehend the seriousness of what she had done. Rachael grew up with no responsible influences and has always had to make decisions for herself and for Sarah. This is why when she realized she had kidnapped Sarah she had the mindset that there was nothing to do but keep on running and never get caught. It’s not because she doesn’t want Sarah to be happy, she just can’t wrap her mind around staying in one place forever. Rachael does need to own up to her mistake of not telling Sarah the truth and I’m sure Sarah will eventually find out. Rachael loves Sarah more than anyone, so of course it makes her want to protect her more than anyone. This does make her selfish on some levels, but I would say that about any other person who cares for someone else the way she does. Rachael isn’t an angel, but I find it easier to understand why she acts the way she does if I put myself in her shoes. That’s just the way I try to analyze characters.

  • http://www.facebook.com/people/Albert-Belle/100001098777594 Albert Belle

    Okay I usually like Chalo’s stuff. But that was lame. I expected him to at least fight back and show that he saw her as an equal but instead he just came up with some corny ‘I like you the way you are’ line? He could at least have flipped her over or dodged and made her miss a punch or something. Instead he just came out looking like some masochist who just wants Rachael to hurt him.I mean come on. What just because they are the only people left who both still hate Mora they hook up? You could have at least made it a little less obvious. Racheal doesn’t need someone to enable her.She needs to get over herself.

    • Teendmax

      Agreed I honestly hope the dont get together. Because not only does it pedictable but no noticed the it kinda gets Minos out of fully rejecting Racheal. I mean sure Mora told her that she and Minos are working out their problems but look at comic where Ran and Taffy are leaving for their date she is clearly thinking about him which means he hasn’t told her how she feels and either way this would make Miles the rebound guy and he desereves better than that.

      • Gourry Gabrief

        You know, you can always write your fanfiction to set up your preferred couple. I prefer Chalo to follow his/her original script, whatever the outcome is.

        • Parry

          Chalo’s a boy. Just so you know.

          • Gourry Gabrief

            thanks

    • http://www.facebook.com/antwon.vazquez Antwon Vazquez

      Now why would he do that? As how they are, do you really think miles could outdo Rachel? She basically more fit than Moral is and Miles (at least I think) isn’t a fighter…. not much of one. And besides, by keeping his composure, Miles has a sort of, a mental win than a physical win. If he were to beat her physically, that would be like letting the coyote catch the road runner.

      • http://www.facebook.com/people/Albert-Belle/100001098777594 Albert Belle

        My point is this was done wrong. You see what this did is show that Miles doesn’t really think much of Rachael at all.If he really respected her he wouldn’t do do this whole take all her punches thing but instead fight her properly to show that she was worth a damn and he saw her as his equal. But instead he just made it seem that Rachael is just only worth joking around with and not to be taken seriously.To add insult to injury he made it seem that he was just doing all this to catch her off guard at her weakest moment so he could hit on her.He just made her look stupid. It would have been better if he got some hits in to knock some sense into her like what happened to Mora. Those fights and did wonders for her and made her realize that she needs to turn her life around. But now instead Miles is now her enabler trying to make what she is doing is alright.Mora’s friends and family made it clear that they didn’t like how she was behaving and would have no part in it unless she changed her ways. But now she has Miles like a devil on her shoulder telling her it is okay to only care about Sarah and no one else and shirk working and doing her job just because she doesn’t like Moria.He didn’t have to beat her.Just show that she was worth a damn instead of messing around with her as if she was a joke.And before you disagree that is how these types of scenarios usually go.You show the person you have respect for them and don’t try to take an opportunity to take advantage of their vulnerability .Respect would mean he thought of her as an equal and worth fighting But instead he basically just sat and made a fool of her the very thing that she was angry about in the first place and accused the others of doing. Feel free to disagree. And BTW any posts telling me to shut up, saying I am stupid to over analyze it or anything filled with profanity or calling me a troll will be ignored so don’t bother replying to me with it.You can disagree and still be civilized about it.

        • Random

          Or he could have actually been really trying and just no even got to set up for a strike let alone deliver one. Ever play Soul Calibur V online? I got eaten alive.

        • LordViking

          You seem to base your rant mostly on the fact that Miles isn’t hitting back. While I agree that he seems to be taking the hits with an cocky grin I think you’re wrong about him enabling her.

          Miles was expecting a rough sparring match, instead Rachel goes straight for the head, barely (if at all) holding back. He was caught off guard and the moment he gets up and tells her to go on she delivers another quick combo.
          Miles isn’t taking hits to catch her off guard or because he only wants to joke around with her. The reason why he didn’t hit her is because he is just severely outclassed by her and didn’t had the time or chance yet to even try hitting her.

          • http://www.facebook.com/people/Albert-Belle/100001098777594 Albert Belle

            I don’t doubt that. I am sure Rachael is probably a better fight then him. But he didn’t even look like he was trying .Even a bad fight or someone who is outmatched tries to dodge or block or fight back. Miles is not stupid and my guess is he did this to take advantage of her vulnerability almost the same way he took advantage of Taffy’s.He used the fact that she was feeling down and vulnerable to strike at her defenses.Now that may seem cute or smooth but it is very sneaky and some what cruel to take advantage of a woman when she is feeling her worst no matter what the reason. I understand why he did it but it seemed more for his advantage more then for hers seeing that it really served no purpose but to catch her off guard or to make a pass for her. If he truly was her friend or respected her he wouldn’t have done something like this just to her in her moment of despair. I will concede that this was probably not Chalo’s intention and he was probably trying to make a scenario where Miles was trying to say that he understood her and was her friend even if she thought no one else was. But it seemed to just turn out to be another cheap ploy to pick up girls.Of course maybe I could also be jumping the gun. In the next comic he might apologize or actually say something sincere to negate what this seems like or for all we know she could outright reject him or tell him off.We will just have to wait and see.

      Now THAT, however slightly insulting, is CONSTRUCTIVE criticism. Thank you for that. You even made suggestions, that puts you a cut above the usual critics around here. Seriously this place is almost as bad as 4-chan.

        Sorry about that. Sometime when I write I end up sounding a little too passionate. I realize I could have brought my point across without sounding like I was trying to insult anyone. I know I can get carried away and sometimes a little too intense in what I say but most of the time I am just trying to get a point across not destroy anyone else’s opinion or make them stop liking any character or to hurt their feelings.

        • ravor9933

    • http://s13.zetaboards.com/rockmanzerodeparture/index/ Worenx

      I rather like this pairing, because I see similarities (good and bad) in the two that just make them click to me, but I gotta agree with you as far as action and how things are presented. Miles is taking it like a chump, getting his ass totally whooped, elbow to the mastoid, Christ. Maybe the dude can’t fight, and it’s clear Rachael can, but he could at least bob and weave, maybe throw a few punches, or as you said, put her in a take down or something and then give the whole ‘I like you’ thing. I think she’d give him more respect if he gave her a good fight than if he just laid down and took it like a bitch.

  • radio

    Wow. I didn’t expect him to get through to her so fast. I thought he was going to get seriously messed up first.

  • Victor

    Geez, here’s hoping Miles doesn’t screw this up like he did with Taffy and obviously with Hope.

  • Edgecutter

    This is the moment where that dancing black guy from the KFC commercial does the same thing but with his middle fingers.

  • Draken

    Miles gets seduced into forced labor because of his sheer stupidity (hey look, free sex! WHAT WORK?! FUCK YOU LIFE, YOU’RE UNFAIR! DRAMA!!!)
    MIles complains about everything thats happening to him, claims life is unfair and shit (i.e. a worthless bastard who cant take any responsibility for himself and blames it on others, also DRAMA)
    MIles finds a rotted plane, WOAHMG THE DRAMA!!!
    Gets told hard by a college student he knew (and probably fucked in the most dramatic fashion) who’s in a better position than him, but still complains, claims he “wants” to be a pilot while still being dramatic about it
    Is now rebelling over the headleader of a farm despite being the one getting his ass screwed over in the first place because of his perverted attitude and how UNFAIR life is, also DRAMA
    Wants to plow the black cat (and probably her sister) because of her ass, much like how he wanted to plow the cow for having tits, did I forget to mention the DRAMA?!

    The writing couldnt get any stupider, seriously.

    • Kanashe

      Oh I don’t know. Let’s wait for that whole “Mah Daddy is an evil Super Sajan” plot point to return,and watch the writing go to the darkest part of Mars. You know it’s coming, and when it does, so prepare your cliche checklist.

      • Random

        Or… It could be completely left alone. And later there may be a bonus comic for anyone one wanting a little more context. Good business move.

        • Handsome K.

          Yeah, because nothing says good tidings to your fans like “Want answers, PAY UP SUCKERS!”

          Then you find out it’s midochorinians or something and you realize “They got 2 grand to tell us that?”

  • Dudeler

    I say Miles pretty much won this round.

    One, for actually developing some character and being straight up honest about his feelings for her.

    Two, the fact that Rachel tries so hard to push everyone away, and the one guy who doesn’t give in and confessed his feelings first instead of the other way around like she did with Minos, and got a serious backlash with some drama. Because of this, despite her response in the last panel, she has NO idea what to do in this situation, and is at a loss for words.

    Now I’m not sure what will happen in the next update, but if there’s one thing I’d actually hope for Rachel, is that she tries to open up little by little, and not feel like everyone is out to get her, or turned on her like she thinks Sarah has, because the one person who’s not like that, even though it was from an unexpected character is standing right there in the room who can relate to her.

    But that’s just my best-case scenario. I’m prepared for the complete opposite. XD

    if miles could take a gut punch from minos little rachael can’t keep him down that long im pretty sure no one hits harder than that guy

  • León Manuel

    I’m gonna say it, “not taking Mora’s shit”, that sounds like “you don’t like being disciplined”. If you disagree, explain to me why Rachel should be rewarded for trying to steal from Mora three times.

    Now Miles has a valid reason for hating Mora. Although it doesn’t excuse his lack of work ethics. Rachel however, she’s just petty.
    Sarah pointed it out a few pages ago, she and Rachel are very lucky to still have a job after nearly killing Digit and destroying half the farm. And Rachel does deserve punishment for that incident. If she had raised Sarah a little better, maybe she wouldn’t have been as naïve. So yeah, it’s high time for Rachel, and Miles, to grow up.

    • Kaskari

      Why does Rachael deserve punishment for saving digit again? Maybe I messed something up, but I’m pretty sure Rachael saved that digit-interface-thingy from sinking to the ground of the well because she didn’t want Sarah being expelled from the farm.
      Rach just misunderstood Minos kindness and has been rejected. Though I have to admit she was a little bit too offensive in that situation.

      Greetings :)

      • León Manuel

        Saving Digit did grant Rachel one more chance to redeem herself in Mora’s eyes (which she’s wasting). Rather, Rachel deserves punishment for allowing the whole disaster for happening in the first place. I’l explain.

        Let’s consider that Mora doesn’t know of Jin and Din’s existence (a fact I’d admittedly forgotten until now). As far as she knows, Sarah found something cool and decided to use it to play pretend. Now, Rachel has been the one in charge of Sarah’s upbringing, and as Ambar pointed out during her visit, she has been quite neglectful. Conclusion, Rachel is to blame for Sarah’s behavior, and therefore deserves the punishment she got.
        As spectators, we know that Sarah was tricked. Should Rachel still be punished? The way I see it, yes. As I’ve often said, Rachel didn’t allow Sarah to have the experiences that harden us and reduce our naivetë. Sarah remained a child too long, and had to learn the hard way that there are people out there willing to take advantage of the innocent.

    Who Thinks miles won this round? …. I actually think miles might be able to tame rach’s heart just maybe. Sure he might have to go through a couple more asswhoopins but I actually think he can pull this off, but I will suck if he ever breaks up with her cause he’ll have his pride handed to him

  • Ow

    Well, at least this time he stayed standing….

  • Fluffy

    Haters gonna hate. I think they can learn a lot from each other.

    • Gourry Gabrief

      who? the haters?

    • Softsful

      Heheh, it would sure help his case if Miles had one of his more reflective faces on here instead of “snide jerky know-it-all”. Honestly, he looks a bit evil right now.

      • Gourry Gabrief

        agreed. I don’t like his glare.

  • Person who likes Comics

    Not my preferred way of flirting, but if it increases the chances of my 2 favourite characters in this comic becoming a couple I’m more than ok with this.

    Now that I think about it, this probably is the best case scenario:

    - Rach could let off some steam, which she dearly needed for once,
    - Miles’ chances of hooking up with her have never been as good as they are now,
    - and on top of all Miles got beaten up pretty badly, which he dearly needed for once.

    So everybody wins I guess.

      “Which he dearly needed for once”
      … Err? He already got punched in the guy by Minos for a rather unjust reason if I may add.
      He seriously doesn’t need another beat up. <_<

      • SFF

        Punishment for emotionally manipulating Taffy is “unjust” now?

        • Teendmax

          He did not manipulate Taffy! He broke up with her because she wasn’t putting any effort into their relationship and was hit by a self-rightous jask ass that can maind his own business.

          • Handsome K.

            Take it away, Morpheus

          • PissedOff

            Also….She was kinda sucking him dry for money….So I’d say he did the right thing by dumping her. *flips you the middle finger*

          • Aaron

            I like how everyone is conveniently forgetting that Miles was the one who offered dosh and
            everything else to her, making his offers sound like they were just
            normal favors from one nice person to another, when really he only saw
            her as, ironically, a whore. And then called her one to her face when
            she refused to put out. She wasn’t sucking him dry for money, he was playing on her vulnerability and equated donated money for college as being a whore, which is why we hate Miles. Miles is like Scott Pilgrim, except Scott learned to stop being a dick.

          • PissedOff

            ……Your pretty much a dumbass.

          • Aaron

            *you’re
            and you can’t deal with the fact Miles isn’t perfect.

          • Handsome K.

            Excellent rebuttal!

            You know, if it wasn’t for the fact it was Taffy, a women so passive she can’t even bring herself to swear when her own boyfriend is breaking off with her as messily as possibly, this might have held a point. But it’s like accusing Mr. Rogers of being Jack the Ripper.

          • Handsome K.

            “What if I told you women aren’t sex vending machines who will have sex with you if you put enough kindness tokens in?”

          • Aaron

            mein sides

          • Teendmax

            To that i say it wasn’t just about sex it was about Taffy not showing her supposed love for Miles at all. When they finally broke up she went on about how she “adored and idolized” Miles but when did she ever show it. you know like made a piece of cake of hugged him and told him thank for all he was doing for her or that she loved him. When during their entire “relastionship” did she express these feeling. Therefore it wasn’t just a lack of intimacy but little to expression of love from Taffy is the reason they broke up. I would also like to point out that their are plenty of men and women who have ended relationship for this very reason so people need to get off Miles’s back!

          • Handsome K.

            So, Taffy needs to slave away for Miles while Miles doesn’t need to show a single drop of affection for her?

            Hmmm. I smell a “Men’s Rights” Activist in our midst.

          • Runic

            Not what he said…at all really. I’ll play translator even if I don’t fully agree with them, I think I still follow. Relationships require both people being willing to be with the other. In the Taffy/miles on, Miles didn’t feel he had enough affection to justify the relationship, so he broke it off. And there is nothing wrong with that, once you stop seeing it as relating to sex and gender issue bullshit and see it more as simply how relationships actually work. People have expectations and desires for their relationships and sometimes the one they are with doesn’t meet them. For miles, who probably equates sex with love and affection, and probably saw the withholding of it as a slow death of the relationship, it came to the point where he felt the relationship was either dead already or just not worth continuing so broke it off.

            You can try to make it seem like the character was after only sex, and is thus evil for breaking a relationship off for not getting it, but in doing so, think of what that implies. Should someone be in a relationship that doesn’t meet their expectations or desires to the point beyond where they are willing to compromise what they want from a relationship in the first place? Should he have stuck with Taffy and be unhappy and keep hoping for the affection he wanted? Doesn’t seem right to either of them.

            Merely writing it off as “sex vending machines blahblahblah” is just wrong. It dismisses any desires or wants from half the relationship as unimportant when a relationship requires at least some to be meet for them to be happy in the relationship and it presents a dishonest representation of the situation that actively shames any idea about sex having importance to relationships, when that idea is individualizes to each person and what they feel is important to them. For Miles, sex was. For Taffy, it wasn’t. Seeing that difference of values as a dead end and ending a relationship over that dead end was understandable in that regard.

          • Handsome K.

            Oh I think I see. SO Miles’ understanding of relationships mirrors that of a 13 year old boy? Gotcha. All makes perfect narrative sense now.

            Oh wait that still doesn’t make him sympathic. He still broke the relationship off like a tosser. Most people who walk away from bad relationships learn something about themselves. All Miles learned was getting punched in the gut hurts like a bitch.

            The point you made was Miles is, and always will be, a selfish asshole who can’t put the needs and desires of others above his own. Girlfriend’s not comfortable with sex? break off with her, make her cry. Walk off like it doesn’t matter, because it Miles, it doesn’t. Just find another girl who is willing to put out and put up with his monster ego.

            People are different but differences don’t excuse selfish assholes from being selfish assholes. The infamous mall arc proved all he gave a rat’s ass about was sex. No compromise. If all you honestly care about is sex, there’s a reason most women won’t give you the time of day, and if you can’t figure out why you’ll spend eternity wringing about why women don’t like “Nice Guys” while the rest of us mock people like Miles for never growing up.

          • PissedOff

            She was not interested in a full relationship He was so when she kept pushing him away he broke it off. so stop ranting about him being an asshole or some such bullshit, because it makes you sound like an an unintelligent one who has never been in a real partnership. And the mall arc….fuck you.

          • Handsome K.

            And implying that all relationships need and breath on sex makes you sound like–know what I’ll be better then you and spare the insults.

            As that f-bomb really implies you simply cannot debate. And you’re a rude– person. See? Didn’t resort to insults.

          • Animus

            lmao
            “He’s an asshole!” “She’s frigid!”
            what a discussion… it’s so unimportant that it made my day. XD

          • Teendmax

            “Slave away” my ass! All Taffy did was her job unless she gave extra helping of dinner or dessert she did absolutly NOTHING for him. While Miles was working a job he hates and living with and enduring people that treat him badly for their own past dramas so his ex can achieve her dream. BTW is she still even doing that cause chalo hasn’t shown her progress on that much.

          • Handsome K.

            So…why is he doing that?

            No seriously? What is the justification, why doesn’t anyone just….leave?

            Also I like your statement we should all “Get off Miles’ back”. Because making fun of a fictional character is such a horrible, unspeakable crime. Especially when you appear to be demonizing Taffy.

            “DON’T INSULT THE COMICS CHARACTER UNLESS I DON’T LIKE THEM~”

            Also, thanks for admitting the Taffy as a student storyline was dropped like a hot potato. I was just about to bring that up. How many set up and aborted storylines does that make? I lost count.

          • SFF

            Well excuse me for thinking that breaking up with someone just because you’re impatient for sex is incredibly petty and shallow.

          • SteelWings

            Here here!

        • Edgecutter

          1) There was no manipulation involved, you’re overdramatisizing things.
          2) Minos already punched him for that
          3) Before you’re going to bash on whom is in your eyes “the asshole”, try and see things from his/her perspective first and measure up their needs. Are they reasonable? In this case, yes.
          Here’s a quote that goes well with what you are doing.

            I second that motion and that sagely wisdom

      • Person who likes Comics

        Well uhmm…let’s just say I agree with you to the point of one single gut-punch not being the justified reward for his behavior towards Taffy.

      • Vocal Tune

        Minos didn’t need to punch him in the gut. Maybe a smack on the head or something would have done well, but i Guess Minos has a soft spot for Damsels who get hurt.

        • Terry

          1.- It wasn’t his business.

    There isn’t a middle finger big enough for the both of them. Seriously, Rachel keeps actin’ like a cunt like she always is, and MIles is actin’ like a brainless tool, who thinks with his other head.

  • Gargravarr

    I’m in two minds here. On the one hand I’ve felt for a while that these two could work well together (mainly because she REALLY needs to chill out and Miles could help her do so), but now that I think about it is it really a good idea for Rachel to hook up with someone who also hates (or at least dislikes) Mora? I’m concerned Miles is just going to end up encouraging her attitude and support her belief that Mora’s an unreasonable bitch who’s out to get her.

  • Dave Alexander Otow

    Fucking dumb Miles is trying to start something…. Mora is definetly gonna fire Rachel and Miles and sarah is gonna stay but something isn’t right! Man Rachel Being selfish and Miles is trying to Pull something and its gonna trigger anything.

    • whitedrake90

      Miles is just trying to mess with her mind because its miles

    I gotta say, I didn’t think Miles had that kind of endurance in him? Very impressive. Looks like it struck a good one on Rach there XD.

    • DarkGuyver2020

      He was shot out of a cannon and exploded in a mushroom cloud in the distance. Getting punched by that pussy is nothing.

    Pfft… At least someone likes that cunt.

    • SFF

      Believe it or not, she DOES have her fans.

  • Winterous

    Honestly I’m a bit disappointed that his reaction wasn’t more… Realistic.

    Most people in his situation would have been terrified, and traumatised; that would have been a far more interesting story arc than this, in my opinion.

    1. Miles is terrified of Rachel but he’s too ashamed to tell anyone what happened, Rachel slowly begins to feel overwhelming guilt for what she’s done, then one of two things happen.
    Rachel confesses what she did to Sarah, needing someone to talk to; Sarah is shocked and asks Miles whether it’s true, Miles begrudgingly confirms, and somehow he and Sarah end up in a relationship (whether or not it’s going to turn out well).

    2. Miles panickily avoids Rachel well enough that she doesn’t even realise the impact her actions had on Miles, and Sarah notices this behaviour and presses him to tell her; when he caves in and tells her what happened, Sarah cracks the ever-loving shits at Rachel for the first time, Rachel breaks down emotionally both due to the confrontation of her and Sarah’s vastly changed relationship, and the shocking realisation of how much harm she caused Miles, while also discovering she had completely misjudged his intent.
    Sarah helps Rachel make it up to Miles, and she slowly regains his trust, eventually beginning an extremely strong relationship due to the hardship they have already overcome.

    However, this is a feel-good sort of comic, so I’m not surprised you went with the feel-good plot.

  • Winterous

    I really hope my long comment actually worked.

  • Aruswrath

    Miles, brace yourself, here comes her finishing move !!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • Winston Churchill

    Been expecting these two to get together since Miles’ talk with Sarah (who at least brought out a shocking mature side in Miles), and at the same time hoping it wouldn’t happen. It’s too cliche’d, too predictable. Plus, I find Rachel to be a very unpleasant character. Generic overemotional tsundere. I shall be most disgruntled if they become a stable pair. Tootsie, on the other hand…

    Hmm…not bad Miles. You get a good bit of respect for doin this XD.

  • KeikakuKat

    Nice move, Miles. I’m glad I didn’t comment on the last two pages with my immediate reactions. I really do like this comic, and that’s all that matters.

  • Legate

    Well, either Miles can’t fight or he’s holding back, but he sure can take a beating. That or Rach isn’t hitting as hard as she thinks. Either way, they’re both kind of boneheads: one likes to take a beating, the other likes to dish out a beating. Whatever happened to sitting down and talking things out over a cup of coffee?

  • Gourry Gabrief

    only one more page? It would be either a fatality from Rach, either her admitting defeat. Or both.
    But at least, we’re sure he “likes” her.

  • Oasis

    done, i am up to date!! =D ah I like the new little sub plot for miles.. i guess bit by bit he will start to find him self again.

    the whole miles liking how she does her own thing is just like how he him self, I like the angle that your plot is going..i feel that you might being touch how they both will start grow and learning from each other , i bet they will be able to better express there Independence to people., so looking foward to how the story will go if they start get closer to each other..oh i cant wait when it touches their past.. since they both seem to have past they are trying to forget.

    i have a feeling something bad is going to happen to miles..when the people come after rach sister, he going to do something to show people..he grew up in his own way..

    any how wonderful story.. Now i need to find the donate button.

      that’s what we call the “I’m about to die of internal bleeding” grin.

  • Blue-Starr

    Miles, props to you for being a big man and finally approaching your feelings in a mature manner rather than looking simply for sex and your own pleasure. However, I’m just kind of disappointed that you’d let a woman beat you up. Physical abuse, be it against a man or woman, anybody really, is wrong. And furthermore, have you not noticed that Rachael, while she does take care of herself and look out for Sarah, does it purely out of SELFISH reasons?
    She takes care of Sarah not just because she loves her as a sister, but also because she was too selfish to let Sarah have a loving family and leave her alone in the first place. While I can understand not wanting to be alone, I would at LEAST let the other person be happy! I wouldn’t try to hold them back from getting what they want and need in life just because it’s not what will make me happy!
    Rachael’s idea of ‘looking out for herself’ is simply avoiding what makes her angry or upset, and when she can’t, she turns violent (punching Miles, fighting with Mora, beating up whatever happens to be within punching/kicking range, really). She says she prefers being free, but really what she’s saying is “I want things to go MY way and if they don’t then I’ll run away or give people hell for not giving me what I want.” That’s what we saw when she couldn’t have Minos, after all. Mora caught her going after her boyfriend and tried to put a stop to it, so instead of being a ‘big girl’ and simply moving on, what’s Rachael do? Automatically assume that Mora is a spoiled bitch and doesn’t deserve anything she has, and fights with her. All the wants is to be right 100% of the time and get EVERYTHING she wants.
    The real proof of that is Rachael pushing people away. She didn’t want Miles, and she wants to be right about his personality, so she punches, kicks, and verbally tries to shove him away. Heaven forbid that Miles can be a decent person, and honestly wants you, Rachael. Because, as we all know, that’d just be *terrible* if you were proven wrong and found love with someone who wasn’t already taken, wouldn’t it? Stop being such a stuck-up, self-centered CHILD and GROW UP. Miles is doing much better at that than you, and THAT says something!!!

  • Heliotroph

    I think she might kick him in the face to see if he’ll forget he said that….

    lol that was a interesting way to end a fight. Miles is one stubborn bastard to last as long as he did

  • Steelwings

    heh Miles has bad taste in women. First Mora who slept with him simply to have an excuse to fire him, then the bunny who took his paycheck and blueballed him… now the violent and psycotic cat girl… Ah well I wonder how they will hurt him then make him look like the bad guy this time ^^ I hope he eventully gets a happy ending, poor guy.

    • Edgecutter

      Saying it like that makes me think that the writer really wants to take it out on someone whom acted that way to him/her and is now seeking revenge through this comic. =P

      I know, I make very depressing assumptions.

  • Suom

    I don’t see this going anywhere but bad (IMO, neither character is at that level or have been redeemed enough to warrant a good outcome from this endeavor). HOWEVER, it is still too early to call or bash character/character development, so I will be anticipating more development and dredding the possibilities anyway.
    I just wish we got more Minos development…if any is in the near future

  • http://www.facebook.com/jack.winberry Jack Winberry

    miles got quite a beating there and he’s still standing, good for him. and what’s more, he got a nice blow in; sure it’s a verbal one, but words can affect a person as much as an uppercut to the solar plexis.

    Leave a message

    Has anyone noticed that whenever the comic focuses on Mora, Rach, Alej, or
    Miles it draws some of the most intense heat from the flamers? I mean come on
    people it’s a damn web comic. It’s not the best in the world but by far not the
    worst. And at least the art is a lot better than anything I could ever draw. I can’t
    even draw a stick man right or write a grand novel, so I can’t complain about
    anything in this comic.

    What I am trying to get at is that if you guys want to nitpick through every
    flaw that’s fine but don’t go about it like you’re the gold standard of web
    writing. Get over yourself! Now I do have some problems with the story arcs but
    not enough to result to insults and childish tactics to get my point across. You
    can make a statement, bow your head, and casually walk off into the sun set without
    having to resort to making yourself look like a total tool.

    To all those that read this comment and understand what I am
    trying to get at, thank you for your understanding. To the rest just leave the
    rest of us alone to enjoy this free web comic in peace, or at least I think it’s
    free.

    Thank you and Take care

    • Solidus

      This is why I enjoy when such tools like you crawl out to defend this tripe. Course it’s not the best in the world, but it’s def a top contender for being godawful. An frankly, stop defending the art, yes it’s nice. But nice art doesn’t make a comic, the story does. An the story here is a simple cliched soup. Also, nobody is gonna ‘bow their heads’ and leave like a cute yapping dog. People are gonna call out the bad writing, and they are gonna call out assclowns like you who defend the bad writing. Last, but not least. Just because it’s ‘free’ don’t expect it to get a free pass. So yeah, suck on that asshole.

      • Scourge626

        Or instead of insulting him, only proving his point, you could have not said anything at all, stopped reading the webcomic you hate so much, and find one that you enjoy and read that while forgetting this ever existed.

        • Furball of LeatherForever

          Says the guy who, on the IGN boards claims that Young Justice and Green Lantern are getting cancelled because of poor toy sales, never mind the fact that their was hardly any advertising and hype for them to begin with! Also, you clearly ignore the shows getting yanked (and at the last second too) after just two episodes back in October before being brought back in January! And you have the nerve to complain about Solidus’s criticisms to somebody you don’t even know! Please do the world a whole favor and go to Afghanistan and get your brains splattered all over the country by the terrorists (who would be doing something good for once in their miserable lives) so we won’t have to listen to your drivel again!

          • Scourge626

            Wow…what a hypocrite. If you would like to continue the discussion on the shows, do it on the IGN boards as what I said there and here are two different things entirely. As for the rest, you don’t know me and you are putting words in my mouth, misunderstanding my argument on the IGN boards, insulting me, and telling me to go die in Afghanistan. I don’t know if you are joking or not, but if you just contradicted yourself.

  • StrangeBones

    Liked how Rachel blew off steam, Miles got his ass whooped but was sincere, and like where this is going =3
    Hoping Miles is becoming more wise due to his past mistakes and then uses his new found knowledge to apply it to Rachel’s way of livin’.
    Maybe Miles will be what changes Rachel’s opinion about stayin’ on the farm?

  • MykelTDT

    YES. I thought that was going to be the end of it, and I was pretty let down. Now that I see Miles still has some left in him, I am so pumped. This is his crowning moment of awesome.

  • Blu Mist the Potato

    They becoming a couple is something I’ve wanted to see for a while, problem is, I can’t see Rach liking him back. I, for one, believe that Rach does not like him… Yet… I believe that Rach just has a slight… Let’s call it appreciation, for Miles, so he needs to do things right here, this isn’t just a quickie.

  • R-Mac

    I wonder if I’m the only one that gets the feeling that Miles sees a bit of Hope in Rachel. Not sure if Learning Curves is cannon with this comic but if it is, I kinda get that vibe.

    FINISH HIM

    Okay who let go of that inflated balloon

  • ReyJJJ

    Miles vs. Keitaro. Like to see that sometime.

  • mike3569

    HAHAH ITS MY LIFE IN A NUTSHELL XD

  • Nobody

    I think Miles is going for broke. The fact he’s still conscious after that instead of being out cold is rather impressive.

  • mamibunny

    I don’t think these two will actually hook up. Miles sees a ‘kindred spirit’ of sorts w/ Rachel. I think she’s over analyzing his behavior. But who knows, it IS Miles after all. I might be wrong. I hope the end is good and the next story arc is better.

  • BioHunter

    While I would like the two to bond over something other than their mutual dislike for Mora, I must admit that this is one of my favorite pairings for this comic.

    However, I do think that Miles is a bit too much of a hothead to actually understand what a romantic relationship entails, and it would be better if he somehow learned exactly what it means to ‘be in love’ before attemtping something like this. In fact, putting in some competition on both sides (a girl gets a crush on Miles, a guy falls for Rachael) would prove beneficial for making them realize whether they actually do care for each other in a romantic sense, or was it all just the fact that neither of them got laid lately.

    Also, I can’t buy that Miles doesn’t know anything about basic self-defense. He already knows what Rachael is like when it comes to fighting (he went to a pro match with her, for God’s sake!) and, like many other readers already noted, he should at the very least attempt to dodge and/or block, or even fight back, instead of taking it all like a masochist.

    Although, I must admit I half-expected him to say “I love you” in his last speech bubble. Seeing him say “I *like* you” implies that he isn’t sure of his own feelings for her, but defnitely thinks of her as more than a mere coworker. Also, he straight-out says that he respects her independence – or hardheadedness, depending on personal preference – which may imply that he’s actually starting to be more mature about relationships. This is much closer to the slow build-up we can see everyday instead of ‘bang, I love you’ approach.

    In the end, I’d say that I’m looking forward to see how this – and many more situations – play out. Cheers!

    PS. I’m thinking about writing a crossover fanfic, with main character being Miles (not an asshole, of course). I already have several ideas, but suggestions are appreciated.

    • Gourry Gabrief

      You know, some people are actually learning only with practice and real experience. And Miles is definitely one of them. He learns as he makes mistakes. So, to learn love, he has to screw up a few times with girls. I don’t see any issue with that, except the fact that the girls did lose time with him. But any experience is valuable.

    • SmilingAhab

      “Also, I can’t buy that Miles doesn’t know anything about basic self-defense.”

      He probably does – but letting her use him in place of his punching bag helped defuse her. Anger only feeds itself, and tends to lead to isolation. To get to her, he must first open the gates of the fortress that is her self-defense mechanisms.

      He may not be as wise as Rannie or Minos, but I don’t immediately take Miles for a fool – lecher yes, but no fool.

  • Thanh-the-Mousegirl

    Um… Rach…? He said it.

  • LordJaguar

    He dead….

  • LostGryphon

    Miles really needs a haircut.

  • Durriken

    Favorite female character and favorite male character possibly getting together? I am all for this.

  • Mr. Al

    “you don’t take any of mora’s shit, i respect that”? way to go miles, ruining your chance of redemption in the eyes of readers like me, yeah mora didn’t start as a good leading figure, but so far she and alej are the only ones willing to work for turning thigns around. you don’t like it here miles, hit the road, we don’t need you and we certainly won’t miss you either!

    • SmilingAhab

      Look past what he’s saying to why he’s saying it – he successfully defused the bomb.

  • Nimh

    Grraaah! Put your dirty paws away from her, Miles! He´s playing with her head, that bastard >:(

    • Gourry Gabrief

      Would he try to comfort her that you would say the same. Admit you just hate him.

  • Dark At Hearts

  • Adam Bussey

    Can’t wait to see where this is going!

  • Vincey

    All I have to say is that Miles takes alot a shit from people and that makes him a “shitty character” because of that influence… I also think some of the other characters like Mora have it to easy now

  • Darkverose

    I find it funny how everyone is just kinda freaking over the fact that Miles DESERVES THIS due to the Taffy incident. He got his payback for that when Milos hit him, and that was even a little over the top. But if you look at it now, with Miles being Miles, it shows that he really cares for Rachel. He knows she’s pissed, so to help her, he lets Rach beat him up. And in his own way, he tried to make her feel better by telling her he likes her.

    AND COME ON GUYS.
    IT’S MILES.
    HE WOULDN’T LET HER BEAT HIM UP IF HE DIDNT ACTUALLY CARE FOR HER.
    Case closed.

    • Gourry Gabrief

      I know guys who go in a fight by themselves without knowing how to fight and not for some love interest. Kamina for instance.

  • The Name is Quack

    I feel like he’s going to get a serious beat-down.

  • Long Time LL Fan

    Uuuuppppppdaaaattteeee :’(

  • DBA

    ………………Seriously the guy wants a real companionship and not to keep wasting time and money on a woman who isnt interested in having a real relationship with him and that makes him an asshole for ending it? You guys really need to understand that if its just not going anywhere it does not succeed, Have personally been there and I gotta say I wish I had never bothered.

  • That_Other_Guy

    So… aside from all the lovely chatter regarding this main page here… anyone else really like the cocoa coding spotlight? :D .

    • Gourry Gabrief

      What in tarnation are you talking about?

  • Animus

    HA! Knew it! And they are both messed up enough to be an actually nice couple. ^^

  • CPD

    O.O jeez bit of a flame war going on…can’t we just agree to disagree?

    • BlackWind

      sadly not possible as people here have some big expectations of characters interacting in specific ways so some want Miles to hook up with Rachael others dislike the idea and others rant about their personalities and motives ETC so there really is almost no pleasing people here IMO

      • CPD

        Damn…thats too bad :(

    • Trombley

      Fraid not. You either like Miles or hate him, but if you like him you’re a perverted misogynist. Same arguments going back to the Taffy/Miles civil war. It all boils down to “stop liking what I don’t like”.

      • CPD

        …….This is why america is such a mess…

  • DarkStar

    Miles is still an ass. He calls Taffy a “ho” and tries to break up with her. And now he’s talking about how cool Rachel is for “standing up” to Mora. Man, both of these two really need to spend more time working on their attitude problems and less time b*tching.

    • Trombley

      Whatever.

    • Lumaria

      Seems weird you are complaining about something that happened how long ago? Next you will be like. “Sarah took a child’s toy when she was 3, crucify her!”

    • Trombley

      Y’know this hating on Miles arc is getting real old, so from now on whenever there’s any other arc I’m going to chime in about how much I hate that person. When we cut back to Taffy and Ran being cute I’m going to go on and on about how much money Miles spent on her, or the next time we see Mora I’m going to rub in every bad decision she’s made and all the people she hurt. Just to piss you off. Fair game, right?

  • Brit

    Mile’s looks like he’s about to collapse, Rachel looks like she’s been beaten by a potential friendship.

    • Angel sanders

      I couldn’t of said it any better

        i could’ve :3
