Hey, I’ll take it
Sometimes I think about the views and discussions on Lucy being physically aggressive via Mike being physically aggressive, and just find it really interesting.
Something that came to mind which I think about sometimes is the way both of them get physical when lashing out, and how that might be a factor in the way they’re perceived.
We know both these kids took martial arts classes. Lucy’s behaviors usually (not always, but usually) defaults to punches and kicks, basic stuff most people can do and probably the first things you’ll be taught in any self defense class. Knowing Lucy’s insecurities and history, it’s easy to see how her punching someone is her responding to uncomfortable situations impulsively by trying to defend herself. A punch when someone’s doing something you don’t like can easily scream “stop it and get away from me.” It’s not good behavior by any means, as we’ve long since established, but still.
Mike on the other hand responds in, honestly, what seem to be really inefficient ways when he gets physical. Grabbing Paulo’s head and smashing his face into a table, or grabbing Augustus by the face and throwing/slamming him to the ground, possibly head-first depending on that impact? Those seem like a lot more effort to pull off, especially on people who are taller than Mike, vs just punching them. Which we know Mike knows how to do perfectly well. So when Mike does this stuff, it’s in ways that feel like they take more deliberate effort to do, and read more as “I am angry and want to hurt you” than it does as defense.
… but anyway that’s my two cents on really specific observations I make in regards to the drama cats, thank you for your time.

Since David has vanished off the face of the earth during the Great Cat Confrontation of 2025, I want to make it clear
As the comic relief character, David 1000% has the ability to dissipate at will when the plot gets serious, much like a vampire turning into mist to escape to their coffin when cornered.
in light of recent events
Hot damn rereading Burnt Bridges after the current pages is eye-opening.
Augustus was, like… actually really good to Mike in that chapter. He was legitimately as supportive and understanding as I could expect someone to reasonably be considering who he was talking to in that moment. Sure, Auggie’s pissed, but he even fucking asks Mike if he’s okay and has a tiny tidbit of banter with him in the end.
Literally the last time these two spoke, Mike was remorseful about what he did, cried about how he couldn’t apologize to Lucy or comfort her or do anything for her, said he’d leave her alone from now on, and asked Augustus to take care of her.
So then when Mike shows up on the track field and seems to be a problem for Lucy, Augustus asks Mike to give Lucy space. He’s asking Mike for what should on paper be a minor inconvenience. And. Not only can Mike not do that, it’s because he’s trying to cling to someone else to fill the Lucy or otherwise “romantic stand-in” role.
In hindsight, while I still wouldn’t call Augustus justified for going about things this way, damn it’s no wonder he’s so extra about it.
Well I sure have a lot of thoughts on recent pages, let’s see if I can summarize.
1. I think this scenario pretty much confirms that Mike doesn’t have any understanding of what a healthy platonic relationship looks like. Every important and impactful connection he’s had - Lucy, Sandy, Daisy, Paulo, James - has had some sort of romantic hangup involved. Every other friendship seems to just be casual or a side effect of being in the same social circle. Let’s be honest, I don’t think you can really say Mike and David are friends with each other, they just share mutual connections. It makes me think that, to Mike, platonic friendship is just… some minor detail that isn’t important.
2. Very well could be thinking too hard about this but I legitimately think Mike has not even LOOKED in Lucy’s direction so far in this entire scene. Going back to every panel where we can see his gaze or at least his general facing, he seems to be focused on either Augustus or James only, even when Lucy first makes her entrance. Really continues the trend of Lucy being an afterthought when someone else is in the picture.
3. Lmao Mike you have an amazing ability to stand your ground when doing so is more problematic, and then absolutely choosing the worst way to defend yourself when you have so many reasonable responses available to you.
4. Augustus has chosen a terrible route to go about this, but alas, we all know it’s kind of the only way this can happen. If approached in any reasonable way, Mike will always pick the path of least resistance and continue to dodge the issue.
5…
Hey Mike, I’m not saying violence is the answer, it is definitely not the answer. But if this is the route you’re going, that’d better be a punch you’re about to throw so that you can at least say you’ve done worse to Auggie than to Paulo
LMAOOOO
Honestly living for how divided the sides are on this conflict.
*dusts off blog*
I’m about to talk about cats in high school
Mainly that I think it’s really interesting how Mike has already categorized Paulo and Daisy as having moved on and therefore leaving him behind. I could be forgetting some details so correct me if I’m wrong here but…
Let’s Go to The Mall!!! 🛍
OOOHHHOHOHOHO I SEE
Legit I honestly have been so enthralled by seeing the descent in how Sandy's dialogue has gone from "Uhh honey I don't think you meant for that to sound selfish but..." to "GUUURRRL WHAT YOU DOIN" throughout this whole conversation lmao
"It just seems so mean"
Dayum what a game changer in one panel lmao
Hmm, I find Sandy's response in this page to be... interesting. And I'm about to go into a whole tangent over-analyzing tiny things.
Mike picks up the phone and we immediately find out that Sandy has been terrified Mike "did something bad." And I... find it odd that Sandy immediately jumped to that possibility? I'm not gonna fault her for being worried about Mike's well-being by any means, don't get me wrong. It more just strikes me as noteworthy that this seems to have been the first thought that popped into her head.
It's me hahaha
In all seriousness though, Daisy potentially has a point. Not that getting a hobby is an instant fix-all for his relationship problems and the absolute decimation between him and Lucy, but like... Has Mike touched that game console of his aside from with Paulo? Just saying, it's hard to get a read on what he's doing in his life outside of schoolwork and his chats with Sandy these days.
This most recent page: *exists* Me: *SCREAMING INTERNALLY*
Notice how all hell broke loose the moment Sue disappeared from the comic
So aside from all of the other escalation on this page
Lucy implying Paulo can't care about her if he doesn't have romantic feelings for her, huh
