Funny part is that we probably don’t even need to see the name to guess how bad it is. We just have to know how many people Nate goes bananas on within the next 5 minutes.
The name of the team HAD to be the sump pumps if Nate yelled NO to the top of his lungs. If I was him I would just quit because literally every season of baseball he played, he always has a name that makes his team look bad. But it does make the topic more entertaining so I wouldn’t stop drawing about it if I was Lincoln Peirce.
I’ve read all the comments and I don’t think anyone has guessed the name yet. A lot of haters. I don’t spend a lot of time reading comments, but I’ve noticed there are a lot of people, both here and in Luann, that complain over and over that an arc is sub par. And, hurry and get it over and start another so they can complain that it is lame and taking too long to get over. Get over it. Move on to the next comic!
All you idiots are complaining about how “oh, this is dumb” or “oh, Pierce needs better ideas” dont realize he’s been doing this FOR 40 YEARS. OF COURSE IT SEEMS DUMB, HE’S PROBABLY TIRED OF IT.
Hmm, could one of the papers running the strip be having a contest now? BTW I’d love to read what the Comics Curmudgeon’s response to the whole thing would be, assuming he was actually reading it.

Can’t Lincoln just tell the name? This arc is so slow. 5.9/10 this one doesn’t even have a pun.
Spring Fever Nate over 2 years ago
Nate didn’t have this bad a reaction to his other names. Must be a doozy of a name.
Hopefully this arc doesn’t go to waste, because i’m liking it so far.
7/10
Meme Dee Dee (king of the comic reviewers) over 2 years ago
I should have known it was something bad.
6.13/10 Usually how arcs like these begin. But, even though it’s something bad, I still want to know the name.
