Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for March 16, 2013

What does stymied mean?

I guess we can be thankful that Nate cut the doodle rather than cutting the cheese.

Well. I guess everyone does not have to know about Pope Francis the First.

Ok, how did we get to the pope? Oh well. Hey, at least it’s Pope Francis. Wait…….I smell something ironic here….ain’t Francis’s last name Pope?!

You know what’s strange? The new Pope is named Francis. Francis in this comic strip is named Francis Pope. Weird.

I’m using an iPod to read these strips and comments, but occasionally when I scroll down, I tap something on the left side accidentally. It takes me to the app store, so I think I just tapped a game ad (when I tap it, before it takes me to the app store, it takes me to a website called ad track). But when I check what I tapped, there is nothing there. I even try tapping there on purpose, but nothing happens. Is any other iPod users having the same problem? Any idea how to avoid/figure out the problem?

And don’t say avoid the left side, because I already heard it.

Nate, you IDIOT!

Or we could eat cheez doodles and have a damp cloth beside us. I’m going to be calling our Cheezies cheez doodles and no one wil know what I’m talking about. lol

haven’t been very funny lately

Guys…this is a comics website, not a Catholic message board.

So he invents something that’s already been invented, like Clyde Crashcup used to do on the old (early 1960’s) The Alvin Show!! And C.C. said “voila” a lot, like “VOO-Wah’LAAA!!”Snickers! SNICKERS!! I just LOVE this place!!!

BTW, kudos to the late Ross Bagdasarian (Sr.) aka “David Seville” for that one!! Glee! GLEE!!

It was worth a try Nate.

I like Nate’s halo in the 2nd panel. St. Nate.

I thought it was amazing that a middle schooler not only knows the word “stymie” but how to use it in a sentence!

…cheese?!

You had no idea about how they invented cheez doodles

why cant he just replicate the powder and inject itinto the cheez doodle (like a reverse cheeez doodle

Wooooooooooaaaaaaaaaaaah! (‘0’)

i think cheese is already invented nate

Why not use a syringe and inject some spray cheese in.

the way he invented it, is different

Why can’t he just scrape the powder off, and put that inside the doodle?
