Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for April 24, 2023

I like where this is going. A tier

GOOD SIGN!!!

Also: did Craig change his shirt color? Lol

Okay! Here’s something! If there weren’t so many filler strips, this would be a great arc.

This is promising…

Awwww.

And suddenly the monkey in his head stops banging the cymbals and makes him pay attention.

Your conversation is going well Nate, you made a good point!

Hmm, I wonder if Teddy and Francis are seeing this.

play it safe Nate, all is good so far…

Nate, don’t do something stupid, DONT DO ANYTHING STUPID….

This is the week everyone. I’m telling ya

okay this is a long arc but its actually getting interesting

To be honest this is good, even though normally they’re not good awkward silences are probably a vital part of Nate getting a girlfriend lol

Dude…

Kind of liked Craig . . . :(

what is she not telling him…

Huh. Okay. I’m wondering about that last panel…

Strip rating: 5/10 Not really much is happening here, so I’m not giving it such a high rating…

Even if that’s all there is to it, that’s quite the compliment for Nate to get from a girl

So… you like him…?

:)

if i was daphne, i would probably choose craig

9/20

Little does Nate know that he’s sitting next to the girl who likes him

Told you it was simply a “he’s right there, a perfect excuse” thing. Hoping Nate makes a move, though.

Nate, you’re entering a minefield, be very careful.

That’s a surprisingly sweet last panel, for a Big Nate strip. I like it. How will Nate screw it up?

when you’ve been burned as many times – you’re always fearful of someone “setting you up” (love hurts – even IF it is ‘true love’)

Wonderful smile from Daphne.

She couldn’t have been more explicit! Also, Craig’s angry expression in panel 1 makes me think that avoid him was a very smart thing to do.

Good for you Nate!

Good comic, though Daphne looks kinda goofy in the last panel

I can see where Pierce went in the wrong direction in this strip. He changed Craig’s shirt color from purple to green.

Yes, you heard her correctly….

Finally a potential gf arc

Nate thinks: Uhhhh, this is all happening pretty fast….now I forget: Is the ball in her court, or mine?………

I think this is the most thoughtful I’ve ever seen Nate.

This arc has been going on for more than a month. That’s a good sign

just wondering. Do you think teddy will ever have a new gf?

Will Craig beat up Nate after school?

I love this comic!

this is nate’s move and than……checkmate 8/10

I really really really hope this works out, and lasts.

Aaaaaw.

this is the third week for this arc maaaybe this could be paced faster

i knew it i knew it i knew it i knew it i knew it i knew it i knew it i knew it i knew it i knew it i knew it i knew it i knew it i knew it i knew it i knew it

And the nickel drops.

Well done Nate!

You know, he probably won’t, but I think it would be really interesting if he made her not be romantically interested in boys at all. She only sees Nate as a good friend. Again, probably won’t happen, but it would be cool if it did.

She might be too nice for Nate…

Have you ever ate something you didn’t like but then all of the sudden liked it

here it comes…

Lol

How in the heck did she rotate the top part of her face (the eyes) in P3 without moving her mouth or hair? She must be an alien!

Plot twist: as a friend

Nate: Cautiously Optimistic!

i sense chemistryyyy

So many likes today :0

Awww

Nate’s eyes in panel 4, though! I love it!!!

That ending is one of the cutest I’ve seen in Big Nate, ngl!

It’s not funny, but it’s sweet, and that last panel is just, I can’t explain it, it’s oddly thoughtful, it’s interesting, it’s actually dramatic! Daphne’s face is so cute too, what a bby!

9/10, it’s not funny but god it’s cute!

I feel a relationship coalescing…

Nate needs to take a hint.

ay yo AY YO WAIT A MINUTE

Daphne looks funny from that angle in panel 4

What the- A+
