Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for October 13, 1999

tickling girls unexpectedly is creepy

I’ve done that. Not tickled a girl, but elbowed someone in the stomach. It helps for when some moron is annoying me.

Hes never gonna learn

if the boys of my class want attention from a girl they just get into a normal conversation like say hi then just suddenly start blurting out a random song!! it’s sooo funny!!!

no sexual consent

A little lower ouch

…..Just WHY Nate

Jenny’s notebook disappeared.

Third panel looks like Nate’s kissing her.

Why in the third panel does it look like Nate is kissing Jenny?

Heartpuncher!

That is weird

That’s weird, but still a bit harsh

That very, very, very, very, very, very, very wrong.

tickle, tickle, tickle! lol

Technically, Nate’s sexually assaulting Jenny

A 6th grader should not have to be told that digging their fingers into someone else from behind without warning is insanely creepy and wrong.

One time a guy kept doing something like this to me, I told a teacher and he was suspended for a few days. Maybe I should have taken a leaf out of Jenny’s book.

Why is everyone so hard on Nate? I agree that tickling a girl without her consent is really creepy and could result in a talk with the principal, it certainly doesn’t deserve an ELBOW TO THE STOMACH! This is the problem with the characters in these comics. All of them are either narcissists, psychopaths, know-it-alls, weirdos, show-offs, oblivious, hate-filled, boring, hypocritical, or constantly assault others. Basically every single character in this comic should be in prison.

thats friggin sexual assault

that is the perfect way for someone to never talk to u again.

I do not get why people antagonize Jenny so much. Nate does stuff like this to her all the time, so of COURSE she’s going to be belligerent towards him.

JENNY GET THE RAPE WHISTLE!

for a girl, she isn’t ticklish
