Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for October 16, 2015

And the plot thickens!

Nate, you can’t be afraid of cats if you want it

what’s so scary about cats anyway?

Aaand there is the catch … Please let him get over his fear of cats now, since she wont get rid of it due to him – even if she still is into him.

There had to be something…

Nates eyes…

Sorry to go off topic, but have we ever seen Artur Pashkov actually speak Belarusian? And if so, when? If not, maybe there should be a storyline about that…

I have to confess, I did not see this coming.

Ok, so Nate’s afraid of cats but the cat’s not being that much friendly either. Poor Nate.

Francis has a cat, I think Nate’s fine.

You are just too cruel, Peirce!

This could be a deal breaker!

YOU MONSTER!

Considering this is a friday strip I could imagine that tomorrow will end with him running away screaming, or just fainting from trying not being scared – him getting over his fear of cats will take a bit longer I´d assume.

But it makes me wonder just how far ahead these stories are made, or if there are improvisations in between? Since at least this story seems more detailed compared to anything I have seen in this comic so far – not that I can say I followed it that long, relatively speaking. :)

*forgot – and way too many ways this can turn out, even without Nate actively screwing it up himself. But still just can´t see this as ending with her getting rid of the cat.

Things are not looking good for Nate!

Hats off, Lincoln— that’s a great plot twist!

There had to be a catch!

I knew there was going to be something like this

She doesn’t know that Nate hates cat.

Look at the cat’s face in the third panel. Cats usually don’t act like that. My cat runs away when I approach her

This is an opportunity, not a threat. Trudy can help Nate get over his fear of cats. (PS: Poco can’t be the best kitty in the whole world, because my little Cody is the best kitty in the whole world! :) )

I think this will be a perfect transition to Nate getting over his fear of cats. if not that, he just opens up and tells her, and that’s how they break up

Run Nate! Didn’t pops ever tell you to stay away from women with cats?

Ah. “Poco”………..good band, too!! Ohh, ya betta think twice, about leavin’ me bee-hy- yiiiinnnnd: Make up yer mind, a-bout watcha gonna dooooooo, etc. etc. YEAH!!

I was just reading through my feed—and the Freshly Squeezed Nate also seems to have a girlfriend. It’s almost like it should be spring!

As the cat goes, so goes the girl’s heart…

Poco is still more of a dog than Spitrzy is.

That cat can smell the ailurophobia in Nate.

Ah Hah!!.The fly… er… cat… in the ointment!

Did you know that phobias can be cured

same rhing happened with Kelly and it worked out though so i’m hoping for that

PEIRCE!

Named for Port Coquitlam?

ahhh srsly trudy!

nope she doesn’t like him

I’m a little concerned if a cat owner thinks hissing means the cat likes someone.

_

Kelly had a cat too!

…and he breaks out into cold sweats.

And the sound of hissing is definintly saying he likes them

I don’t think her hissing means she likes Nate, Trudy.

Who remembers Kelly and her cat?

it sort of looks cute. also, love her smile on the second panel while she hugs Poco

This cannot already be the end

Uh oh

How come all of nates girlfriends have cats?

ayyyyy poco from brawl stars

kelly had a cat to lol

How come all of Nate’s girlfriends love cats???

Trudy: I live here.Nate: Ok.Trudy: OH LOOK WHO’S ALIVE… MY CAT. SHE’S LOOKING FOR ME!Trudy: HEY NATE I HAVE A CAT! COOL, RIGHT? YEAH.Nate: Alright, it’s been 3 days, 7 hours, 45 minutes, and 10 seconds. Time to break up!

He’s showing fear.
