Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for August 16, 1995
Transcript:
everlovin' ELLEN! the cheesy adventures of a H.S. sophomore! Ellen visits a chic beauty parlor... woman: Ellen, this is Pierre, our fashion consultant! Pierre: Bonjour. Now...how will Pierre turn this ugly duckling into a lovely swan? ...Hmm...I see bangs...yes...longer bangs. Yes, I think you should grow out your bangs...The longer, the better. Ellen: So I can comb it back? Pierre: So you can comb it forward. Kind of a "Cousin Itt" look.
In Nate’s comic he degraded Ellen with the fashion consultant and she didn’t even acknowledge it which is unrealistic. If he ever said this to Ellen or if she ever saw this comic, Nate would likely be pounded into the ground and would be enduring a lot of obloquy from Ellen.
