Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for February 15, 2022

first

Does anyone ever wonder how he even refills his locker in time to attend the next class?

A legend in his own mine.

I hope that in his picture of Mrs Godfrey, she is wearing more than the typical Sumo Wrestler wears.

I think it’s kinda sweet that Nate keeps a picture of his friends, or at least one of them, in his locker.

Wow, I’m impressed. The set up to the punchline drags due to the long description of Nate’s locker, and the punchline is hardly even a joke.

This is a great example of how to break the guidelines of telling a good joke, and I guess I should at least give it some brownie points for its demonstration.

If Big Nate is “so bad” then why read it and comment about it? Its not worth your precious time, right?

Did this comic reveal where Nate lives? WMPG is a radio station in Maine

How……

where is the joke?

Ah, Nate and his delusions

Nate lives in Maine.

Peirce drops a couple of local Portland, Maine references into the strip

At lunch, Nate and Randy meet in the bathroom

Randy: Nate, get away from under the-

Raw eggs land on Nate

Randy: Vent.

Nate washes the eggs out of his hair in the sink

Nate: Isn’t having to suffer through social studies punishment enough for whatever I did?!

Randy: I wish I was sick like Dee Dee so I didn’t have to come here.

Nate: I brought a computer so we can look at what’s going on with the cameras.

With the camera outside the locker, nobody opens it except Nate. With the secret passage camera, two people dressed in black, one with long dark hair and one with shoulder-length blonde hair snuck down the passage. They had masks, but Nate thought they were familiar. They used dog treats to distract Nate’s guard dog, and snuck in. Just before they went in, the blonde figure turned, and kicked the camera, breaking it. Before the camera shut down, the dark-hair figure was seen coming out with more eggs, whipped cream, and soap.

Nate: I know who has been pranking us.

And yet, he also decorates his locker with all that stuff he keeps in there. I wonder if I could get Luigi’s Mansion 3 from there.

That he likes hockey, is from Maine, is friends with Francis and is very superstitious.

of course he’s awesome.

Nate’s awesome for having a mess in his locker

I think it says that you like hockey more than me, Nate.

I wanna see that Mrs. Godfrey drawing!

yay, hockey!

It tells me he had ADHD just like I do. Nate reminds me so much of myself I cringe sometimes.

I think Nate would hate Wallace in Wallace the Brave because he IS awesome.

Nate is a legend in his own mind. Whereas, Charlie Brown has an inferiority complex, Nate has a superiority complex.

END IT ALL READY, I know you want the longest running strip, but you will be dead by the time you get it, 0/10 not funny humor

They’re just standing in a pile of trash. :-D

It tells me that Nate has the characteristics of a hoarder and has some weird fantasy about Mrs. Godfrey as a sumo wrestler.

As a sumo wrestler is priceless!

Another way to decorate it is to clean ur locker

THAT, we already know….

Today’s the time to say this. We are still exposed to sensitive content in comments. This strip is likely the most targeted for this. Although GoComics included a Comment Policy, WHICH PEOPLE NEGLECT READING!!! They should improve the comment section by censoring sensitive content in some way, like including a filtering system that filters out sensitive content listed in the Comment Policy (it should occur before it gets posted), or replacing it with a symbol, like an asterisk or something. Young people are using this website and viewing the comments too, and they shouldn’t be exposed to this. This is supposed to be a suggestion to GoComics, and you shouldn’t take this down. You can spread the word, if you want. I hope you understand.

where’s the joke?

1/10 for nothing funny at all

Nate is confirmed to live in Portland.

6/10

There is no real joke really

Yikes…

Hey y’all! I do not know if you remember me, but I used to comment here, but had to leave because my former account was with the school email, so it got deleted when I entered high school :)

2 things:

1) Who is this “Sonic” everyone talks about?

2) Is the Timber Scouts the thing that people say are a pic of Nate’s friends (does not matter is this question is answered yes/no, I still think that’s cute =D

This arc is not looking into a good direction.

5/10

Guys, Sonic has apologized multiple times and you guys have never been satisfied by it. He has made everything he needs to say and thats final. You guy’s have made it clear that you are just trying to hold a grudge. He has made every apology and done everything he can to get it out of the way. He can’t go into the past and change things. Whats over is over. Don’t be a baby about it.

THERE IS A JOKE YOU JUST HAVE TO LOOK CLOSER

boring and done before 3/10

4/10 not a great one

If you hate it so much, why do you read it, ash6862? I mean, this is HIS job. This is who he is.

Exterminating spam and offensive stuff in progress…

I’ve been reading big Nate for 9 out of my 13 years in this world and it never gets old!
