Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for June 04, 2023

I wonder what he has to be stressed about

When was the last time Nate ever bonked his head with a bottle?

This is not the way a good teacher should react to this, do better Mrs. Godfrey

Mrs. Godfrey is so mean lol, like let him do what he has to do to deal with his stress

B+

New headcanon just dropped: Nate has ADHD

Moving to a school district where teachers knew how to deal with fidgety (ADHD) kids was one of the best decisions we ever made. “Nate, go outside and walk around for five minutes,” is a much better solution than sending him to the Principal’s office.

I recommend taking six-second deep breaths, Nate.

I realize this is just a joke, but I genuinely feel bad for kids who get stuck with teachers like this who cause and worsen stress for their students

He just like me fr

How is bouncing leg unacceptable..? It’s not like it makes much noise..

haha, not a bad joke at all! Its actually Godfrey and Nate yelling at eachother! I like that!

9/10, funny joke, made me smile!

I never heard that tapping a pencil in Big Nate deals with stress.

I wish nate fights back and punches godfrey in the face

Perhaps a fidget spinner

my sophomore high school English teacher signed my yearbook – “To My Little Drummer Boy —May You Improve!”

Geez, Mrs. G, take a chill pill.

Dude Godfrey went from zero to a hundred real quick.

Actually SHE is the one with the problem. He’s just a young guy that doesn’t need any drugs, though it looks like she might need some…..

“Teat how you want to be treated”

That is unacceptable teacher behaviour. Can we please get a “Mrs. Godfrey gets fired” storyline, even if it results in her coming back by the end?

Forgot to review!

As someone with ADHD, it kind of insults me that Peirce keeps playing it off as ‘not how I intended it’ and ’it’s funny when Nate gets into trouble for it’. To me, if he wants to avoid it, don’t give Nate clearly neurodivergent characteristics? This strip is Nate stimming and getting into trouble for it!

0\10. I just can’t like this one, sorry.

Bruh, I bounce my legs ALL THE TIME and nobody cares!

Strip rating: 2/10 I hate when Mrs. Godfrey acts like this. It just ruins any semblance of funniness here.

Give the kid a fidget spinner or something and let him self soothe. No wonder he acts out all the time.

A+ !One of my favourite comics so far, maybe even the favourite. I fidget a lot too and often get told to stop moving my leg. Rare Nate W!

Nate needs meds or the meds he has need adjustment.

I have ADHD and I had it before it was cool. I did all the things (though it was something smaller than a coke bottle that I hit against my head) Nate is doing in class to try to help me focus. She needs to let Nate have a fidget spinner or something similar.

I don’t think sending him to the principal’s office is going to fix anything.

rawr

F-. Mrs. Godfrey always yells at Nate, but when Nate yells back his answer he always get in trouble. I hate Mrs. Godzilla so much!

meh cool ig 2/5 not much to say yk

Okay, NOW I’m starting to think that “I can’t believe she’s not butter.” TRULY has it out for him.

ADHD gang

As an autistic person, this is offensive. (joking)

first to reply to this will earn $20 venmo

Why is Mrs. Godfrey mad at Nate when she just let lose on him for no reason?

“Nate, you are not allowed to bonk yourself with a plastic bottle in class.” If I were I teacher, I’d never expect those words to be uttered out of my mouth EVER LOL
