Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for April 26, 2020

Nate must have wrote that comic because he’s not allowed to have a dog.

Also Dad in the 7th/8th Panel

Reminds me of a couple Big Nate comics from like 20 years ago when Gordie was teaching Nate more about comics. It’s the comic student’s turn to be the comic teacher!

Wait, didn’t Peirce already do this idea?

Where in the world did all those monkeys and ducks come from?

Ok, where did all of those monkeys come from?

Why

Hasn’t he done this joke a half a dozen times before?

BOI they don’t realize that they missed on of the funniest things that could happen. also, RIP Martin Wright

This strip is a lot like the time when chad first joined the doodlers and nate was teaching him how to cartoon

I think this is good!!!

Ducks are NOT funny!

Still not funny with the duck.

Despite this being a recycled joke, I think that this is better than the original. I had a laugh at this one.

This is pretty funny, even though it’s pretty much a copy but slightly different.

Marty must’ve said something derisive about a “Meany, Miney, and Moe” cartoon (look it up!!) cartoon at some point in hs much younger life….vengeance was long in coming, but now, alas, the chick…er…..monkeys come home to roost……..

Similar to the writing process. The duck is a good tip. “He climbed to the top and was met by a horde of viscous mercenaries. Then, a duck climbed up behind him and he escaped while the mercenaries played with the quacker.”

This is why making comics is so fun, guys!

Nate, you are teaching Chad how to come up with something random and you don’t notice your Dad getting attacked by monkeys. Selfish moron, how does that even work…?

… or a penguin.

Hello I am Dave

what a coincidence.

Knock knock!

Notice how none of the monkeys have tails.

CAN SOMEONE DELETE MY WIKI PAGE ALREADY??

ok

Bill watterson in the making…

Epic fourth wall break (I know someone might have mentioned it, but I’m not reading all the comments)

He was even kind off drawing Chad! GENIUS!

Ah… I see that the Random Chimp Event happened in the Big Nate Universe as well.

Reminds me of another comic strip! Nate was talking to Chad about punchlines and there was a random monkey in the 2nd to last panel

Mo Willems always adds a pigeon to the story with Pig and Gerald (Elephant).

I used to work with someone who claimed, facetiously obviously, that no matter what it is in the world, anything can be made better by the addition of monkeys.

Honestly, though…

When you don’t pay your taxes and the IRS sends out it’s enforcers

Look behind you.

i wonder if thats real, chad didn’t notice

It is I, henry stickman, and i am distracting you.

at panel 7 6 or 8 dads face is gOoFy LOL

haha

where’d the monkeys come from?!

The duck is in “Max and the Midnights” (Also by Lincoln Pierce) :0

!! FOURTH WALL BREAKAGE ALERT !! FOURTH WALL BREAKAGE ALERT !!

ps. i like it

dad in the background be like

The fourth wall fell

Marty: gets murdered in the background by monkeys

It looks like a bunch of monleys (and a duck) invaded the Wright household!

The power of monke for ya

4th wall break

Random Chimp week

“The Chad in the Box”

XDXDXDXDXDXD

Fourth wall break! Fourth wall break! TOTAL FOURTH WALL BREAK! :D

Nice catchphrase “add a duck”

Hahaha

The duck in the last panel looks like uncle budrick from max and the midknights

Who, what, where, when and why?

I think many people forget that they are reading a comic and look into the realism too much

Panel 7, Marty´s face be like

D

Nate is the creator, in the lore of course

Marty do be the punching bag in these kinds of strips.

Anybody else notice that Nate’s head is flatter in panel 6?
