Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for January 22, 2024

Never mind, new arc. Not sure what the point of last week’s was outside of showing Gina still in love with Chad.

A whole arc about Nate’s stinky shoes. Sure.

4\10.

It’s gotta be the shoes.

Of course…. Nate’s stinky feet. If he takes off his shoes, he would unleash an explosion of smell that can cause the school to be closed for decontamination

another arc about Nate’s feet?WERE used to it.

Nate’s “Odor Eaters” died.

You should always rotate your shoes!

I am once again hoping Doodlebug Is okay, and knows that I care for her

I was hoping for a continuation of last week’s arc, now I’m disappointed & from the look of this strip, this isn’t gonna be a interesting arc.

Is it the lucky socks kicking back at it again?

Chicken pox is the worst thing to ever have, EVER.

? The last arc seemed like a waste of time if it’s going to be left unfinished like that.

this never gets old, always love the reactions to Nate’s feet.

Guess we’re lucky it’s ONLY his feet!

When will Nate take off those socks

“oolp”

“Oh THAT”

“We’re used to it.”

It would be funny if Daphne and Nate get a pedicure and no one can come near the foot. It’ll be like the pulling of the sword out of the stone to see who is the brave one to encounter the “stench” lol

How is Dee Dee not used to it?

Oh jeez… Is Pierce running out of ideas?

Dang Nate clean your feet by the way where is Daphne

….so he’s topped his best for a Monday, and…..pooped in his shoes?

Nate’s lucky socks are well worn out

Oh no, is this gonna be another arc of Nate being the butt of the joke? Not only have we seen the “Nate’s shoes smell like death” joke many times, but it doesn’t even make sense. Why are the other characters only acknowledging it now? Why haven’t they acknowledged it before? What even caused Nate’s shoes to be so terribly foul in the first place?

The world (and the strip) appears not to know!!!

3/10 yeah…

Boring. Hope they build some good jokes from this.

I’m surprised Dee Dee hasn’t gotten used to the smell of Nate’s feet after 8 years.

I find it weird that we hear about Nate’s feet smelling terrible, but we never hear about HOW they obtained their stench.

Does anybody remember the Married With Children episode where Al took off his shoes on a porch step and knocked a bird, which happened to be flying over, right out of the air?

Something like this happened to me when I was a Senior in high school. A girl setting next to me told me that her slip on shoes were too tight, but she was afraid to remove them for the rest of the class period because she had a foot odor problem. The class we were in was right after lunch. I told her to go ahead and slip them off. After all, how bad could it be? Whew! I almost lost my lunch.

I’m sorry but I’m not that interested by this arc

Put your shoes in a plastic bag and leave them in the freezer for a couple of days. While they are in there, soak your feet for a couple of hours in hydrogen peroxide. Bleach works too, but hurts if there are any sores. Problem solved for now, repeat as needed.

Odor! Odor! Odor in the court!

Oh…ok guess thats it for Gina’s love for Chad. We’ve had this joke before but maybe its a bit different. Overall Rating: 3/10

nice ig

Wait until Nate hits puberty!

How will Peirce stretch this idea out for a week without making it incredibly boring?

4/10, old joke, but hopefully new twist! Maybe he uses it as a football cheat?

Just gotta saw it… it’s already not a good start.

I have one problems with today’s strip. It’s a joke Lincoln Pierce has used 70 times already. I only have one reason why I don’t like this strip, which is coincidentally my rating for today’s strip. 1/5

More of Nate’s smelly shoes? Let’s bring back Arthur or bring back Nate and Chess. Or gets some strips with Chester! We haven’t seen him in a long time.

Oh no… This is something that might make Daphne leave him.
