Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for December 27, 2013

“…a woodchuck died…” In the part of the country where I live, we also call them groundhogs. My family combined the two names into “groundchucks”. Once when my youngest brother was 6 or so, we were parked in front of a grocery store while my dad ran in for milk or something… Youngest brother read the big sign in the store window “Ground Chuck 79 c/lb”. The story has lasted for generations.

Interesting background thing in panel three.

I love the facial expressions. So much for Howie’s cologne. lol

Howie why?

“60% of the Time, It Works Every Time”

Burn on Howie! lol

wow Nate why would you give him that bad cologne I can smell it from her. oh wait its my breakfest

How nice nate, give him a terrable colonge

LOL!

Yuck

I love Dad’s face in the last 2 panels!

Trollbridge: So did Walt Kelly, the best known was Grundoon, who spoke only in consonants. I have found speaking Grundoonese an excellent way to quiet an infant. It is though they instinctively know something isn’t right, but don’t know what.

MUST be: something that crawled up . . . . . .and died: gave Ellen a mini popeye eye for a second there!!

This Christmas, I got my dad Homer Simpson slippers. They are in the shape of Homer’s head and you put your feet in the mouth. Man, he keeps calling it the best gift he’s ever gotten, he keeps parading around the house with them, and my brothers are envious because 1) they didn’t think of something that that first and 2) they don’t have something as cool as that. So, yeah. Can’t relate to this situation!

See? You DO need an environmental impact statement for that stuff.

The cologne must be “Dead Woodchuck”.

Wonder why “That Smell” is suddenly stuck in my head … ?

Agreed Marty.

Oh my gosh, Ellen’s face on panel 2 has me dying

OH boy

That’s just cruel

Ellen’s face in the first two panels are absolutely PRICELESS!

Wasn’t that Howie Mandell? I think Lincoln Pierce is insulting him.
