Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for August 22, 2014
Transcript:
Isn't this great, Peter? Doesn't it give you a sense of accomplishment? Oh, shure. Earlier today, I was frittering away my time reading Mody Dick by Herman Melville! But now I'm shpending the afternoon making a wall of dead branchesh and calling it a fort! Yesh, what a shtaggering accomplishment! Peter, your attitude kind of blows.

The choice is this either the body muscles get flabby while the mind gets a work out or the mind gets flabby while the body muscles get the work out. These kids have not yet learned the art of balance.

Peter got a one track mind. Reading books might be nice, but it is rather foolish to snopping being outside.

Its funny how Peter explains a fort.

I take it that Peter finds the travails of Cap’n Ahab And His Gang to be…..somewhat more engaging!!

Yup. Peter’s attitude sucks. One of my boys reads all the time too, but he camps, helped me build a picnic table and fire pit…. he loves working outside.

I’m sure Nate wouldn’t complain about spending the afternoon reading Moby Dick with Peter.

Am I the only one who thinks Nate should Already have a job now, based on how many back to schools they had?

A fort can be a nice setting for reading, though
