    Like the pitcher would allow a homerun!

    You’d think Nate would learn after the first time

    We have seen this before, like literally very similar wording.

    A nearly perfect copy of a Sunday with Angie. Which I don’t like.

    BUT. It’s still kinda cute, the other pitcher is so justified for his reaction, the final line works, and the drawing of Daphne is adorable, nice to see a Nate drawing of one of his girlfriends, shockingly rare.

    7\10

    At least he got on base from being hit! (and didn’t strike out.)

    Romance and baseball have a lot in common, do they? https://www.gocomics.com/bignate/2009/10/11

    Well played. You’re on base and nursing a ‘boo-boo’ that Daphne will want to tend.

    If you walk to first base, it’s a good day at the plate. Take it! :D

    A “getting to first base” gag?

    I suspect the opposing pitcher did that on purpose.

    Mare totally deserves that. But his portrait of Daphne is very nice.

    No riptide arc, but it’s always good to revisit baseball

    And I hope he eventually got a run out of all that!

    Worthwhile tactic. He took the hit with grace, and she’ll likely be worried about him accordingly. Just don’t flinch when she hugs you after the game and you’ll be golden.

    Reusing gags for newer readers doesn’t actually work when anybody can find the original gags on this site and in the previous book collections.

    Perfect sound effect for Nate. (Look up the translation of doof from German)

    Was that the hurler’s “doofus” pitch? d;o)

    (A play on the term “eephus pitch,” also known as the “lollipop curve”.)

    Pearce clones his past strips way more than is justifiable

    Technically, he still got his good day at the plate.

    This is literally a copy of an older strip (but I know the guys been doing this for 30+ years so I’ll cut him some slack) 7/10

    Nate, you’ve tried this before with… I think Kelly? Maybe Angie… the point is, it never works. And I’ll always be here to remind you of that.
