Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for February 22, 2014

It’s my birthday!!!YayI am going to see the Lego movie on my birth day partyToday!! Actually it’s 11:33 pm so in 27 min it’s my birthday

And BTW, thanks Mr Peirce!

The inside joke of this is priceless.

isn’t that what happens in the big nate universe

Inside joke

I’ve realized in the years and years of comics, nobody moves to 7th grad.

Really playing with this one, aren’t we, Mr. Peirce? Chuckles! CHUCKLES!!……AND all that half-priced candy left over from Valentine’s Day in the stores!!

………’course, going from 6th grade to 6th grade “on an endless loop” without all the sojourns in summer school in between is kinda nice, too!! Glee! GLEE!!

That’s called “Breaking the Fourth Wall”

are they kidding?when will they ever notice it WAS happening!over and over!

NCLBthanx, W!

sorry for the glitch. did not mean to say it twice

THis is like the strip in Big nate genius mode!

Well teady it DOES!!!!

Also happy bday

…and thank you, Mr. Pierce. Looks like somebody took a wrecking ball to the fourth wall. (Ooh, poetic…)

Oh, the irony…

Agreed Teddy.

I have read over 1000 big Nate comics but he never gets older. But if he did he wouldn’t be the same

Oh my god this is hillarious!

Doesn’t Nate already stay in sixth grade? Ha ha ha!

Hmm, gee, I wonder what hasn’t happened…

Unfortunately, it’s pretty much a given that Nate will be promoted to 7th grade, regardless of his grades. That’s just what happens in government schools these days: Can’t fail a kid; it’ll destroy his fragile ego!

First comment ever!!!! Fav strip!!!!!

@Sonicx79

Happy belated B-Day, also, Nate, DON’T DO IT!

How ironic.

The irony, and fourth wall breaking, is so thick you can carve it with a knife.

Deja vu. This looks familiar.

Oh, the irony…

francis said “hello, 4th wall” and vapourised it

Didn’t something like this happen and Francis made the same arguement but Nate asked him if the teachers would really pass up the chance to move him up to 7th grade?

Wouldn’t it be funny if there was a comic about some kids in 6th grade, and even though they never realised it, they’d been around for 24 years?

yet it is.

Hey, didn’t there used to be a fourth wall there?

it already does happen

Poor, naive, little sixth graders. So oblivious. XD

Did Teddy ACTUALLY break the Fourth Wall?

why has nate been in 6th forever?

And that comic is ironic

Maybe not in real life…

this comic my friends is pure irony

hmmm… What is this déjà vu

he arleady stays in sixth grade forever. niether are the smart kids like gina or francis . he is not even an adult, but if he did age, then his dad would soon die, he’ll be married, and do whatever adults do. in other words, the comic would be ruined and boring

THIS COMIC EXPLAINS EVERYTHING. This is why Nate never goes on to 7th grade! But why is Francis still in 6th grade?

I love the awareness.

I cant tell if nate is breaking the 4th wall.

speaking of forever this people nate francis and teddy are supposed to be 23 at least and are still in 7th

Can’t decide if 4th wall break or dramatic irony. Either way, this is some mind bending humor here. Love it!

so that is why he cant get to 7th grade

to bad ur not in real life teddy

The three boys drop themselves off at their homes. Nate walks upstairs to his messy room, about to create another priceless edition of Ultra Nate.

Whilst sketching the comic, Nate inserts in some dialogue for Godzilla, Mrs. Godfrey’s alternative form. The dialogue reads:

“Years will pass, and you will still be in 6th Grade, Ultra Nate! Mwhahahahaha!”

Nate double-checks this piece of writing, going into a deep thought of curiosity as he reads it. Then, he realizes the dark truth:

He is in a comic. And years pass without him moving on to the 7th Grade, or aging whatsoever.

He swiftly dashes out of his house, worrying about his future and what lies ahead of it. He runs into P.S. 38, but instead of entering the school, he sets foot in a floating white void. The door to the outside world disappears, and Nate is now floating in the white void. He hears the voice of Lincoln Peirce, his ultimate creator.

“Well well well, you have figured out who you are, where you are, and what you are doing with your little life,” Peirce says with a smug on his face.

“Oh creator, you made my life a lie, but then again, I was created for this life!” Nate shouts.

“We shall go face-to-face in a duel against you and me, to determine your fate. If you lose, you shall go back to your surroundings, with no knowledge of this. If I lose, I release you and everyone into the real world,” Peirce promises.

“That is a deal I cannot decline, so I shall accept it,” Nate agrees.

They all get ready for their duel, the biggest duel ever of mankind. They rub the shiny, yet menacing blade of their swords. They sharpen the painful tip of them. They take their places. They meet eye-to-eye. Both prepared, they run at each other, thus starting the duel.

CONTINUE THIS FOR ME

Got that right, although the fact that your eyes look like tally marks is just not right…

Ha! Irony alert!

francis, you don’t seem to understand that you already are stuck in a loop and you have been for years.

But… that’s their whole existence.
