Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for January 22, 2023

Obviously, Vern will win

Like grandfather, like son, trying to make things interesting with a contest. Also, 10000 steps seems like a lot of walking.

Actually not really if you walk about an hour and a half thats 10,000 steps

Is he that old that he still uses ear horns? Hearing aids do exist, you know.

5.5/10 This Sunday was OK, I guess. The joke was kind of weak, though.

This strip is like an amalgamation of two or three different strips I’ve seen, with Marge and Vern at the mall, Vern not wanting to walk or eat healthy, and then the punchline.

Punchline: 6/10

Character Variety: 7/10

Arc Concept: 5/10

6/10

That last panel was pretty ironic, considering that he does not like to exercise.

Strip rating: 4/10 We’ve seen strips like this before.

How about, “Whoever finishes first gets to drive home. The other walks.”

Whoever came up with 10,000 steps, I want them to try it and see how much pain they are in afterwards.

Loser says ‘What?’

My kind of getting exercise. Go gramps….

I bet Gramps could beat Marty in that 10K marathon.

I dunno about about anyone else, but i like Nate suffering when he deserves it (i dont like nate that much)

I thought Gramps would be running back and forth in front of Victoria’s Secret.
