Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for December 22, 2014
Transcript:
Nate: Dad, I'm not asking for a dog for Christmas. Dad: You're NOT? Nate: Nope. It wouldn't be fair to leave a dog at home alone while I'm at school! A dog needs companionship pretty much around the clock! Dad: I agree. Nate: ...Which is why I'm asking for TWO dogs! Dad: Cripes.

I’ve always said you have to get cats or dogs in pairs so they will keep each other company.

What happened to the dog with the plastic cone over it’s head?

Once I was thinking of getting a cat and one animal shelter that I visited told me that since I was single and employed, I would have to adopt two cats instead of one, so they wouldn’t be bored when I was working. Fortunately, saner heads prevailed and they later did away with that idiotic policy, finally realizing that it is better for a cat to have a home and be a little bored some of the time than not have a home at all. Besides pets appreciate you more if you’re not around all the time.

Hey guys, I am new on GoComics, and I predict that Nate will get a 1 in a million chance of getting 2 dogs. I’ve seen him over the years, but I think this week will be much more interesting than the other years.
