Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for December 09, 2012
Transcript:
FRANCIS: This book about evolution is fascinating! CHAD: What is evolution? FRANCIS: It's the way species change in response to their environment! All species are evolving all the time! CHAD: Even us? FRANCIS: Sure! Let's say that tomorrow there's another ice age! People would probably become hairier to protect themselves from the cold! CHAD: Ha! That's funny! NATE: So...we'd all just start growing more hair? FRANCIS: No, no...It would happen gradually! It would take thousands of years! NATE: Tough luck, Dad! DAD: Thanks so much.

The cartoonist colours the Sunday strips so his colours are the proper ones.

Nate’s taking notes in the 3rd pannel because his friend is teaching him but if an actual teacher taught him then his notes would become comics and his comics would become ripped pieces.

Now, why would humans evolve baldness?Global warming?
martymac almost 12 years ago
evolution is a fable. Darwin was a grade a fruitcake.

But people known if we let up on the pollution it would get colder

so, in hot climates, men are bald? and, in cold climates, men are hairy? but, what about men who are thinning, but are hairy everywhere else?

It’s just a little harmless fun. More people care than you think. Just skip it then and please ckeck the negativity!

Sorry Marty.

I read years ago that the baldness gene comes through the mother…if her father died with a goodly amount of hair, her sons would have that too. My mom-in-laws’s father had a full head of white hair when he died, and all five of her sons have kept theirs, and are in their late 60’s to early 70’s.

The world is getting warmer. Period. Nothing we can do will speed it up or slow it down. It will do what it will do. We are still coming out of the last Ice Age and the average temperature for our planet is subtropical.
Pollution is another matter entirely and is controlable by humans. In the Atlantic and Pacific oceans there are huge islands of floating plastic garbage. The currents have caused them to drift together and gather. Check out the following site:

Quit bugging your dad about that, Nate! He had hair up there once, but it…….sorta left! Besides, you’re liable to look like that one day….if this strip allows you the luxury of aging, O heaven forbid!!

@garfieldfanclubpresident and ComicParakeets I couldn’t even go out to play, because it only snowed for five minutes, and then it started raining! : (

A really funny Big Nate Sunday strip from years ago: Marty’s out shopping (alone) in the supermarket, and sees a woman he knew back in college……he introduces himself and remarks: Hey, you changed your hair! With a straight face, she replies: So did you. Marty’s then off on his own again, cringing under that ubiquitous “Wright’s black cloud” of defeat.

I don’t believe in evolution but I like how Lincoln talks about it here. He doesn’t talk about it in a “Oh, this is a fact and you have to believe it” kind of way. He introduces the theory, discusses it a little, and makes a light-hearted joke at the end. Nice job, Peirce.
