Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for April 18, 2021

Charcoal grill dad: “I cook with mesquite. Gives meat nice taste of wood.” Gas grill dad: “I cook with propane. Gives meat nice taste of meat.”

Some old men playing baseball

NOTED

And that turns into failure

Never underestimate the power of grandpas!

Grampas are cooler than you think

YESS IM EARLY! but anyways how can Old Man Jenkins play baseball?

Old people can throw things?

Probably the best baseball player to ever live /s.

Dancin with myself :(

Why did he call Francis “Specs”?

Specs?

is this the first time someone actually played with nate when he did the raffle tickets?

8/10

ooof, tough position Nate

its like that meme i think it was called the final boss of chess or something like that

OLD GUY VS NATE WRIGHT!!!!!! (Replay if you think old guy will win like if you think Nate will win)

He’ll get beaten

On my old company softball team we had a 70-year-old. I remember him getting for the third time one game and someone on the opposing team yelling, “Don’t let the old guy fool you! He can hit!” He could too. He couldn’t run – he’d hit a double and only make it to first base – but he could hit.

Hmm… that old man looks a lot like the man from the July 7, 2002 comic…

I would say “Watch him mess up on the third one and Nate hit it”, but this is a Sunday, so………

12 of you wanted it to continue… here you go.

DUMB BIG NATE AND GINA’S CURSE: PART 2

Nate, Teddy bear, & Francis walk to the Mrs. Godfrey room aka “Devil’s Room”. She is busy toturing a student.

Student: hey why did I get a 89 on the test

Mrs. Godzilla I mean Godfrey: BEACIUSE YOU DIDNT’T STUDY NOW TO GO MARS!!!!!!!!

Mrs Godfrey kicks Student really high into the sky and the Student is scremaing as she goes up to mars

Student: WAAAAAKFJLAJDGJSGJSDGJKJSDFHGSH

Nate goes to his desk and is in front of Gina, as usual. All the desks are now full except for the Student who is going up to mars

Mrs. Godfrey: EVERYONE! LOOK AT ME RIGHT NOW! breathes fire

Godfrey pretends to breahte fire. Everyone else except Gina is having no reaaction at all. This is part of their daily baisis.

Everyone except Gina: kk

Gina: yay

Mrs. Godfrey: so uh everyone. We will bee having a pop quiz tomorow!

Nate: bruh why did u tell us there wil be a pop quiz tomorow a poop quiz according to the dicitionary is “a short test given to students without prior warning.”

Mrs. Godfrey: no 1 cares dweeb

PART 2 CONTINUED IN REPLIES

ARMYWAYS PART 2: I stood there, stunned. Then Speedster bounded across the yard, and to the beach. “Speedster!” I said. I ran as fast as I could. Speedster was the fastest dog in the world. I was running so fast, I was sweating from my feet. “SPEEDSTER!” I cried. I finally came to the beach. Speedster was near the water. Speedster couldn’t swim. But he dived into the water. “SPEEDSETERRRRRRRR!” I jumped into the water and swam into the water. I grabbed Speedster and swam up. I crawled onto the beach and laid down. Speedster was still active. Francis and the others came with Speedster’s leash. I put on Speedster, who ran into a tree. He licked the tree. A tunnel opened, and we slid down a slide… into a military base. MY dad stood in front of me. “Yo, dad,” I chuckled nervously. My dad was GODFREY MAD. Then… boom! The lair shook. A soldier came up to dad. “We’re under attack!” The guy said. My dad left. Me and my friends followed them and a plane took off. I jumped on the plane wing. I grabbed on… then I lost my grip. 100 feet into the air. “AAAAAAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!” I screamed. PART 3 TOMORROW

This should be funny.

That sounds like a fun person for his age.

Daily Poll: What’s your favorite movie?

If Nate’s hoping for more than 3 strikes, this guy’s not giving him a pass! Oh well, there’s always the next house

Daily Quote:

-Joseph Campbell

Can anyone explain to me what the poll wars was?

What are specs?

Careful there, Nate. Old age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill.

Lol

…..like the Fran-Man’s ‘lil smirk back there……..he’s got his mitt up-n-at-em…….he obviously sees what’s coming……“probably three”…..ha ha…ha Ha HA!!

Watch out for the chin music Nate. He looks like a nice old man but I detect the heart of Bob Gibson beating in him.

old man will win

Go Gramps…..

This isn’t gonna end well…

Nate’s gonna miss and the old man isn’t buying the tickets

I wish someone would call me Specs. That would be funny.

Nate can’t catch one W XD

Wait, we don’t get to see how this ends???? NOOOO!!

sorry, I wasn’t online since the 16th. I was moving so I had to pack the computer and just got it today. anyway today, my question is: are you afraid of anything. what is it? this is very embarrassing but I am afraid of the dark.

I am now mildly concerned

I have seen that old man before. Heres the strip: https://www.gocomics.com/bignate/2002/07/07

He probably has a slow ball, Nate. Just don’t swing too early.

Old man skills prediction: 10.1/10

Bit tough not gonna lie

I DID IT I read all the way from the first strip and read all of the big nate strips all the way to this one and I will continue to read

Nate: “WAIT, wait, those three were IMPOSSIBLE to hit! I deserve more chances.”

2000 years later.

“Now class, here we have a baseball player Nate Wright. Died when he was 87 years old, and when he was twelve, he spent the rest of his life swinging a bat at a ball. Legend says that he claims an old man was throwing it at him, but I think he was producing alcohol in his body.”

Hi

Start the puzzle of a lifetime by going to November 19th 2008

I saw commenters calmed down with spamming and polls.

I think it should be an arc to

This Sunday’s comic could be an arc next week. Hope Nate can beat him!

This is not going to go well

It’s Babe Ruth as a old man

this should be an arc

IT’S MY BIRTHDAY WHEN THIS COMIC STRIP CAME OUT

where did he get the bat
