Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for April 09, 2022

What original arc ideas do you have?

Predicting that this arc will continue next week.

Well, that was a slight disappointment.

Arc rating: 5/10Strip Rating: 4/10

Yeah, they usually make fun of the team for about a week, but then they stop, until they get another dumb name. I hope that one day, they’ll get a good name.

3.14/10 This joke is poor, and the arc will just be Nate and his team being made fun of with lame insults. If Pierce is going to recycle arcs, he should at least recycle entertaining ones.

Nate in the fourth panel looks more terrifying than sarcastic.

It could be a long arc…

if only Nate could just deal with sissy-sounding team sponsors

Hi! I’m new here.

I hope this arc is not just about the name, but about playing the sport

4/10, i want to see them play

After being his coach for so long, Calhoun still don’t know how to talk to Nate.

7/10 daily rating

10/10 weekly rating

Due to a couple of reasons, I’ll be taking a break from the comment section sun-thu. The reasons for departure include that:1. I feel like I should be doing more activities than just hangin’ in the comment section, and 2. i’m starting to get a bit sick with the trolls and just feel its time I take my first break from here. To all my friends like sonic, AE, smug Nate, Meme DeeDee, Cookies, and many more, See ya on friday. Peace out.

Maybe a long time for the other teams to stop laughing

Hello everyone. I hope you are all doing well. Enjoy today’s Big Nate, shame he can’t get one cool team name.

Stay safe and have a fantastic day.

Oh it will be

Nate’s irony is really good.

5.5/10

40 years gets you tired, guys. No wonder his arcs are “lame”. Big Nate is probably older than most of you guys, because I highly doubt 50 year olds would be reading this.

…they’ll stop laughing at THAT name when the guys get yet another sponsor next year who’ll dish up yet another dumb name…….then the laughing will begin anew……….

No one is forcing anyone to view the strip. This isn’t texas.

Come up with another ridiculous team name. String it along for a week. Have Big Jerk twitch and make faces. Pretend it’s funny.

No. This name shall be laughed at for all eternity.

Sarcastic Nate is back. I would rate this strip 9/10 for Coach being supportive but Nate was complaining so much in this arc! If this arc continues on the 11th, I would rate this whole thing 9.5/10 but Mr. Peirce did a great job on this strip. I wonder when we’ll have another girlfriend arc because I know Lincoln Peirce is trying to express that Nate is a failure with girls, but I would love to have another arc where Nate gets a girlfriend.

Wait. If Coach Calhoun knows that the name sucks, why doesn’t he change the name?

Okay, Pierce, you finally gave the team a great name, and I would be more understanding if you gave an actual REASON why Nate and Coach think it sucks. I mean, Cheez Linda, The Doormats, Joe’s Tacos, they all make sense why they suck. But Cellar Dwellers? That name is far better than the others. 3/5.

Time is on my side, yes it is.

Let it be known I predicted “Cellar Dwellers” on April 6. No great feat, I know.

Great job, coach.

POOR NATE! HE ALWAYS GETS BAD LUCK

Hey, Nate — if you guys end up in first place (long shot, I know, folks), they could call you the “Best Cellars”!

Already starting out that way…..

They made fun of the team all season last time, why would they stop now?

yikes nate that last panel yeesh

5.5/10.

I hope this arc goes on for another week! I like the baseball arcs!

Really? It could coach? wow never thought that

Yohoo!

I hope they get revenge, it does take time. (If no way it could happen)

When you’re eleven, time seems to stretch on forever.

Nate, STOP BEING SARCASTIC AND JUST EMBRACE THE NAME!!!

a im late

7/10

Meh. I don’t feel like doing an RL’s Cuss Counter (or The Cuss Counter) update today.

Ironic

Time IS on your side, Nate…noooo…not really…

yeah, this is late but I just found out about what could be the worst name in professional baseball : The Savannah Bananas. count your blessings, Nate.
