Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for April 28, 2013

Nate is alot more happy now

Ah…perspective can change everything.

haha this is a great strip what movie is that soung nates listening to

That’s the theme from Sesame Street.

What a drag it is getting old.

YOYOYou’re Only Young Once

Pshh,who watches Sesame Street?switches channel to DoraDora:Say map!Me:map.Dora:Louder!Me:censored map!

1) THAT reality check hit home in a flash!!

2)Re: Frontispiece, today’s strip (e.i., Nate’s drawing on looseleaf paper that opens each sunday strip):At adulthood, won’t Nate, not unlike his dad, also be bald??

3) Oh!! Not to worry, God-willin’, he remains “forever young!”Whoo-WHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

He has been 12 since 1991. Hes really not getting older.

youth is wasted on the young…

He’s 11? Dang.

Nate will probably be a cartoonist and not have to work 60 hours a week

Sorry you had to hear that Nate.

Male pattern baldness is passed down through the mother.

Good old Gramps for a reality check. Yup, you don’t have to go to school 30 hours a week. When you are an adult, you can work 60 hours a week, especially if you have no education. Or, better yet, work TWO jobs.

wow — never expected to read the story of my life in 10 panels today…

@coraryanThat’s what my dad use to say. He had arthritis and Parkinson’s.

The Itis family has moved in with me. Art, Burse and Tendon. They are a real pain.

You tell ’em Grandpa, you tell ’em.

Mr. Lincoln Peirce, how did you come up with Nate, Francis and Teddy’s NAME?Sorry if this is a stupid question. I’ve been told I don’t have common sense.@bignate

That’s the theme song of “Sesame Street”. Guess Nate doesn’t want to grow up anymore.

Haha! Me too Nate me too.Actually this comic strip made me relize that i shouldent want to get older! :)

why is nate watching elmo

tell it like it is….that’s what Grandpa’s are there for!

I wish I was older to Nate!:-(

I’m a year younger than nate

#sesame sti hate that thing!!!!!

lol gramps is funny

Man I’m gonna hate being older!

A little bit extra info there.

Thats strange, it says that in the US the average work is actually 33 hours, but i think its just a matter of perspective

Nate will never grow up because he is a cartoon character

Enjoy it while it lasts kids.

Ok Nate watch something more your age, like Gaming videos or Spongebob

Imagine not being able to watch r rated movies at 11

Yes, very true, although I will admit, a bit of an exaggeration

It took me 5 years to realize that Nate was watching Sesame Street

normal → slightly negative → salty → sarcastic

Now I’m depressed :(

this is the first comic in big Nate: What’s a good old fashioned weggie.

Nate’s watching sesame street?

My son (Nate’s age) asked me “Why do I have to go to school?” I answered “so you can get a good job and work every day for the rest of your life until you’re too old to enjoy life.” He didn’t really like that answer.

Me: 10 I wanna be older to watch scary movies, eat junk food, get new fancy toys every day, and go to bed at 2!

Me now: Working 6-9 hour shifts / double shifts 4-5 days a week as a struggling med student with a deteriorating heart condition and chronic insomnia, I eat whatever junk I can get my hand onto just to get through the day where I have but few lossy hours to do whatever I want after a long day’s work before bed at 1:30 if I’m lucky to even get 6 hours.

But no, my ten-year-old self is happy! I got all the crap I wanted and it’s killing me. Literally!

He went overboard
