This was supposed to be the original strip for today, but it had too many words, was more spiteful than your regular CUEK fare, and didn’t serve to advance the story arc at all. So I’ve included it here.

You can’t make this shit up, folks. Sometimes the comedy just writes itself.
For the sake of continuity, I’m going to wrap up this story arc as soon as possible and kill off Purple. She never really made enough of an impact on Zeke to deserve anything more. It would have been unfair to any readers interested in their story if I had just ended it because of real-life differences, so I’m going to continue it until I figure out how exactly she is going to be removed from the strip.
Once that has been dealt with, we need to establish a new colored-bow-girl for our tragic protagonist. Poll time!
Loading ...In regards to the previous post — thank you for all your feedback, both positive and otherwise. It helps in terms of me understanding people’s points of view and being insightful in how people viewed the strip. Extremely insightful.
That being said, if you ever have something to say to me, don’t be afraid to speak your mind because I will not take offense.

i like how you can blog with pictures
not many people can do that. keep up the good work.
Man, this stuff is hilarious, at times I’ve felt identified with some of the situations of your comic strip. Keep it up, thanks for all the great comics… they always make me laugh.
she’s all kinds of messed up… keep on keeping on, enzo!
DO BLACK
He can’t. Zeke is black. He may not have any articles of clothing, but his speech bubble is black.
Good comic, give Zeke a turtle for a pet (to help that emo kid cheer up)
So this might be insanely immature, but this means you’re single now yes?
And I never liked Jade. She was always wayyyyyyyyy to into her own self righteous opinions. Ugh no thank you, I don’t need to be lectured by an inexperienced teenage girl who thinks she has all the answers on love.
YOU FUCKING GOT DAT RIGHT!
I hated her, she thought she knew everything, stupid bitch.
Hey, now there’s no need to be unnecessarily harsh. And names like that are certainly not the right thing to do in this situation. Now, how she handled this situation, yes, it was very immature, but we’re all human, right? We all make mistakes. She has stated many times before that what she gave were merely her opinions, nothing more, and if I’m not mistaken, we are all entitled to this, are we not? I personally think she had some very good advice, whether she chose to follow all of it or not. And choosing to follow her advice and/or agree with her opinions yourself is your choice and your choice alone, but it should not matter from whom the message comes from, the message itself is what should matter, regardless of whether you get along with the person or not.
Dan you’re right, but as this is another opinion/advise be certain that most of them won’t take it granted (as I said before in some other comment “It’s certainly smart to do take advises as granted.”) But nice try
it makes 2 of us who think about it like this ^^. And if others don’t think like it like this it’s their choice, whatever makes them happy, as long as they don’t hurt others, right?
i think its stupid to manipulate like that, but you gotta admit when you gave your whole heart to someone and they totally brought you down you’re not even thinking rationally because all you can think about is how they hurt you.
while i do think you handled it alright and hers was pretty childish….there is some sense in the insanity.
its ok you’re a cool kid just gotta leard how to read someone’s personality before you totally give them your feelings you know?
OMG MAKE IT YELLOW OR I KILLZ U ALLLLLLLL!!!
I feel the need to explain exactly why nobody should, and nobody will, take you seriously. 1) All caps. 2) The use of OMG. 3) The fact that you threaten to kill us all, which is the most ridiculous part of the comment. 4) The Z at the end of kill. There shouldn’t even be an S and the end of kill here. 5) The eight Ls in all. 6) The lack of any other reason to use yellow than a death threat to all of us. 7) All of the previous reasons indicate that you are an idiot.
Dude, Its the interent. Just because one idiot discovered that there are more sites than *Shudder* Newgrounds doesn’t mean that the freakin’ world. Calm the fuck down.
Newgrounds is quite awesome :/ On the other hand, that guy, Illumi is right.
Those were more than a few reasons for him being an idiot.
Oh and Pfft, that was some serious spam post there, it would be ok if you would keep that away form this site. Write normally and you’re good.
Seeing that Jade and you are finished I feel like singing this song from Wizard of Oz. “The Witch is Gone”
It deffinatly needs be be the most envious shade of green, or the most virgin white….
Though virgin white is a good idea, how would her speech bubble work? I suppose there are a few possibilities that could actually work pretty well. She could only communicate through emoticons. Or her speech bubbles could be blank, and her speech could work like Kenny’s from South Park: the characters can all understand her perfectly, but the audience can only guess as to what she said. Or she could be mute. I think the emoticon and mute ideas could make sense. After Red and Purple, Zeke would probably like a girlfriend that doesn’t talk.
i’ve changed my mind, i want ‘freedom blue’….the irony of a girlfriend representing freedom…ha!
How mature of you.
Zeke should date cupcake ninja, and become best friends with doctor desert… Yeah…
Lol am I right or haven’t I seen you in ages? P.S. Is cupcake ninja still alive too?
He should date cupcake ninja and become best friends with doctor desert 
But I think DOCTOR… DESERT!!! is right
BABY BLUE FTW ! (:
I hope you realize that the “other” votes are only going to convince Enzo of a color if poster gives a compelling argument for the color. “FTW” is not a compelling argument.
I hope you realize that baby blue and light blue are the same thing. So this, therefore is not an “other color” persuasive argument.
Jesus, I hope you realise that nobody really will cry or jump in joy when Enzo picks a colour. So please, go train argumentation and nitpicking somewhere else, you sad, sad person.
or perhaps you’re just pretending. then you just fail
^
machete, you’re trolling on a troll.
But than again I’M trolling on a troll that’s trolling on a troll.
At least I’m a happy about what I do.
I will jump in joy!
Oooh, ooh, make it Frank’s sister. Or Frank’s ex.
omg i like frank sis tha most u should so do that
Okay, so not like purple. But yeah, I second the Frank’s ex. Not sister, with family like Frank’s I’d hate to see what the girl was like…..
someone has probably already said something like this… but i’m way too lazy to read all the comments.
you should definitely break Red back… but not as Zeke’s love interest! as… perhaps, Frank’s! xD
zeke should fall for a prep name gold that just want all his money and he to blind to see it and frank try telling him but zeke will does what he always does and act like it not true.
anyway i think we should have more frank and funny mini game with frank cuz he kickass man
Bring back the Crabs!
I think said is always easier then done.
She knew the right way to deal with relationships, but dealing with it actually was way harder then she thought it would be.
Its like, when your friend goes throught hell with their bf/gf, you know exactly what he/she should do to get over it, but when you’re in it, its always harder.
::Difference of inside & outside of the box::
Don’t be too harsh on the girl, I think she just really really likes you. So much she couldn’t see right no more. Breakup was never meant to be easy.
On the bright side – she is losing self-control over you – this is how much effect you have on her ;D good no?
Erm… sorry to ask what maybe an obvious question, but is this comic even still running?
Yes, there is a hidden link that you have to find to see the next three comics!!
(Or you can click the word, Kaplowitz, i hear thats coolio too)
I think its cool how this guy is making comics to deal with how upset he is about relationships with girls and life in general. But the reason he is having so many problems is because he does not know how to treat women. I wholeheatedly believe that women are less than men and deserve to be treated as such. In my experience women actually liked to be treated like they were not equals with me and they did not bother me with drama bullsh*t because they knew I would not have it. If everyone would act like I do to women, this world would not have so many upset men crying about their women cheating on them or whatnot. You may think my advice is sexist. That’s because it is.
you must have been with some weak women..
no all women are weak
not all men are cunts like you
Uh, I’m a chick, and I’d probably kick your ass for being a moron.
I’m a guy, and I would too. People like this who think that treating women like shit, using the n-word, and being an all-around douchebag makes them gangster, and therefore cool, need to be castrated as painfully as possible and thrown into a dumpster to bleed to death. These arrogant, ignorant, ignoble pieces of garbage must be wrapped in toilet paper, shoved into small cardboard boxes, and set on fire.
Wow…you haven’t posted in like 2 weeks…might as well give up on this.
God… I read two posts on that bittersweetirony site and I already want to strangle her with her own sense of self-importance. Kudos for putting up with that for ANY amount of time. Blech. Anyways keep up the good work!
Hey a wanna ask you something Enzo. Is Frank someone you know or just the asshole side of your imagination?
I really want to know if Frank, the pervy love-booth guy that hates everyone,
really is real. In real life. Or just a fiction with a grey scarf.
i think in one of the older posts it said frank was a real person
Two sides of the same person it would seem.
When you refuse to give women respect, they can do nothing. Remember, women can fake an orgasm, men can fake an entire relationship.
Uh, they can leave you or beat your sorry ass. Seriously, I think you’re Frank.
I don’t get what your trying to say here, if you already fucked them what does it matter if they leave. And with the exception of huge nigger women, no woman is beating my ass
With all due respect, sir, please kindly dispose of yourself and others like you. Women are no less human than you are.
But, seeing what you act like, maybe this is a bad thing.
that’s a big pile of Bull
don’t be a fuckin philosophy asshole.
he is just making reference to her ex… (again)
that doesn’t mean he is saying girls are less human…
nono that is what im saying
Wow, you are a complete and total moron.
Hey ENzoooo!!! i saw the comics of no spring chicken,booger and broccoli and real life they were actually good!!!! why won’t u keep doin dem????
I said pink, because fuck yes. It is pink.
Enzo, you haven’t stopped making comics, have you?
enzooo update please??
I NEED MY CUEK FIX!!
ENZO! YOU ARE MY HEROIN!!!!
Uhm…whenever I come here, I can’t seem to get Attention Whore 4 to come up at all. It’s just not there…Is it just me? And I know it isn’t my computer though, because I have a fully-updated Mac, with no parental controls. So….I don’t know…?
Enzo has officially announced he is going to stop making Cheer Up Emo Kid due to how the webcomic is effecting his personal life with his ex-girlfriend and other friends. I am sorry.
Oh my god! That’s terrible! Whatever shall we do?
…lots of people here supported you, no doubt financially, if indirectly
life goes on of course, but it is worth stating that unreliability is not a nice trait
if the comic doesn’t continue that would suck, but if you are taking all this time and making all of us worry just to make the new comic then it had be PRETTY FRIGGIN EPIC!!!!
Enzo is alive? I was proceeding under the assumption that Jade had killed you for dragging out your rants about her in the comic. Enzo, please either confirm yourself that CUEK is dead and buried or that “:D” is a shithead pretending to have some kind of authority on the site whose words can be blanket ignored as trolling.
“affecting” his personal life
p.s. figures, but shame
wait, enzo POSTED? O_O
I step out for a second, and THIS is what has occured?!
Enzo, did you get my email?
Am the only one who thinks it would be funny if Zeke dated a guy?
When are you going to updateeee
Update, please. ; _ ;
He stopped the comic
No, he doesn’t
OKAI
so pretty much
my boyfriend’s ex randomly jumped on his back and tried to beat him up today
it did absolutely nothing to him
and she looked like a crazzzyyy bitch.
totally reminded me of this
thanks for making my day
We all roll around to a point in our lives where we just don’t care.
In all amazement hats off to you mate. Few people handle things maturely now a days. I blame media and such for drama people seem to generate. Jr. High gets your ready for drama by throwing petty issues at you. High School you get a nice refreshing dip in the drama pool. Than College, and than you can totally fuck your life >.>
But I digress, sure, dealing with crazy people and their attention greedy perks, in such a manor where it doesn’t spiral fast in to a flaming ball of oh shit what did I just do, is an accomplishment.
People will always be like this. No matter how much we want to believe there’s something about them to make them no so wrong, everything always dictates back to human nature. Some of us may rise above this and show what men are meant to be as you have done, others sink and keep this arc of deception and mistrust.
I wouldn’t worry to much about what may come next. The best you can always do is remove your hat, bow, and good day to you sir.
