Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for October 14, 2011

Seriously, I’d ditch Jenny and go for Gina. Jenny’s completely stuck on herself and has never given Nate a reason to think there’s a chance.

Gina might be Nate’s future or reality of you might call it though right now such things do not exist.

awesome poem

Is Nate going to flame Artur on FB?

“Artur”? That’s a weird way to spell “Arthur” (LOL!)

As for Gina and Nate, when my sister and her husband first met, they didn’t think much of each other. They’ve been married over 50 years.

Mind you, it’s been pointed out that these two are only 11 and a lot can happen in the next 10 years. Han and Leia didn’t like each other at first. Neither did Ron and Hermione or MIchael and Deanna (For Better or For Worse).

“As for what rhymes with Artur…I have no idea. Any ideas, anybody?”

Darfur? THAT would make for an interesting poem.

As regards the comparative niceness of Gina and Jenny, I wouldn’t hazard a guess. My knowledge of Nate’s history with each is incomplete, but in both cases we see them almost exclusively in relation with Nate. Does Gina get along with Francis, if Nate isn’t around? Does Jenny get along with Marcus? We KNOW that Jenny and Artur get along, and Artur is the nicest guy in town so perhaps Jenny has many fine qualities, and is abrasive towards Nate because he gives her no choice: he WON’T TAKE A HINT.

Maybe Jenny will respond with a poem of her own, which expresses HER true feelings.

Hmmmmm…. What emotion rhymes with “Nate”?

Free verse poetry. Been there.

this is like buni, sad.

lincoln likes hockey and is a bruin fan JP

Nate no matter what you do Jenny will never like you Nate. All she cares about is beating the snot-nose out of you!

It was Nate choice and he let Artur date Jenny then again if Jenny knew Nate was the reason she wasn’t dating Artur Jenny would kill Nate

Nate needs to give up on Jenny shes all about artur and needs to try to get another girl better than Jenny and Nate could at least give artur a chance he seems lke a nice person with bad english i would want to be friends with artur nate and francis and the otherboy btw i forgot his name

Is fleeceball a real American game? Oh, and Mr Pierce, please go on tour in Perth, Western Australia! I am a massive fan of your books!

Jenny and Gina are both horrible, I remember in one strip jenny goes to the dance with Nate and she talks to sheila about him and she calls him an insect and acts really full of herself.

hi

hello

Free verses exist, Francis.
