Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for January 26, 2014

That literal rattling may get the job done, though. At cost of a foul? Might be worth it.

Those uniforms look stretchy

thats funny

Nate takes everything to literal

why did nate say ten-four?

sometimes it has. more so in the past though

This is a lot like that one comic I remember seeing when Coach told Nate to do whatever it takes to shut down one of their opponents, so Nate gave him a wedgie! I also remember the ref saying “Number 8:Flagrant Wedgie!”. That line makes me laugh so hard! It’s one of my favourite comics.

Nice job drawing the shake Mr. Peirce. Happy Sunday all.

Next, go with a wedgie and hang him somewhere!

I expected Nate to wedgie him!

Coach, no big problem, as I see it: Nate gave him a great “Popeye-eye”, just then!! Laugh! LAUGH!!

Oops!

Deep down, coach knew exactly what he was doing. ;-)

Nate’s so stupid

yeah

bpshand, orbenjawell: Hams had it even shorter .-. R for received, or in the voice version “Roger”. Now hams don’t have to know Morse and the International Phonetic Alphabet’s “Romeo” brings other associations.

About 30 years ago I learned about “vocal D.” It involved screaming at your opponent when he was about to take a shot or something. Guy did it to me in a pickup game. Later in the game he got a wild rebound and broke for the other end. Just as he planted his foot to go up for a shot, I yelled, “HEY!!!!!” at the top of my lungs. He collapsed in a heap and crashed into the chain link fence surrounding the court. We all ran to see if he was OK. He uncoiled himself and said weakly, “OK, you got me.” We decided to lay off the vocal D after that.

bpshand: Two related associations: Shakespeare and a relationship that turned out badly; and a somewhat pejorative term for someone obsessed with trying to get into a similar problem. Roger can refer to any number of people, but was rejected because of the many ways different languages pronounce the g (or even terminal r). I like the International Phonetic Alphabet and wish more people would use it instead of mumbling letter names rapidly when giving the spelling of names. Finally, I think I should have used di-dah-dit for the R instead of dots and dash.

Hmmmmm…

Nate is NOT that strong!

49-45 FOUL ON ILLINOIS

Isn’t that the point guard from 2 days ago?!

ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA ORA!

Sorry, Star Platinum got riled up by Nate shaking him…

I suppose now he is less confident? idk
