Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for September 13, 2024

First?

Love a good novel!

NFL moment in the last panel.

how many kids do you think said “my friends!!!”

is this comic late or something?

that poor teacher… :j

Creative writing!!!!

She cannot be serious

Feels like something I’d pull back in school

I’m surprised he wrote “School is fun.” Eh, it works for Nate.

School is fun because it gives a lot of reasons to poke fun at it.

Shoot. It’s the 13th of Friday. and this arc is very strange.

This deserves an A.

What the heck

Hello. I am new to this comic, because my friend says it’s a good comic. Can someone give me a background of the characters? Thanks.

yeah thought today was still the same as yesterdays

This is cool! The first vampire sports story! I’d like to see Stephanie Meyer do that!

Not for nothing, but I don’t think “intentional grounding” would be the call. “Unnecessary roughness” would be my guess.

Eh… At this point, refs call Roughing the passer on half the times a player TOUCHES a QB. look up Clay Matthews horrible Roughing calls if you want to see more.

Lol!

Nate (and kids like him) has an incredible imagination that needs to be nurtured, not uprooted.

What did she expect?

“A” all the way!

Nate fulfilled the letter of the assignment, not the spirit.

smarrt

juice wrld wya cuz

Well played, Nate.

Nate a good writer fr tho

This is really funny

The defensive tackle should be happy the ref threw a flag for intentional grounding

Hey, he technically answered the prompt!

Happy Friday the 13th

I should think that might fall under either “Roughing the passer” (if Lance is the QB), or at least “unnecessary roughness” [with the referee including two fingers pointing down, fang-like, from the mouth, á là “Monty Python and the Holy Grail” ’s vicious rabbit at the Cave of Caer Banor].

“School is fun!” Top ten biggest lies

Is it time yet??

strip is R18+

There we go!

should’ve called for unnecessary roughness

Trey Lance being mentioned is extremely random

Relatable. School writing prompts suck

“School is fun because of teachers that clearly do not understand that I would rather be anywhere else but here at any time. I have never thought those first three words in that order outside of this essay prompt. If you choose to fail this assignment, it had better be over grammar and structure rather than because you don’t like the topic. After all, that would defeat the idea that you have instilled in us that there are no wrong answers in creative writing.”

… And Lance wins it!!!
