Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for February 28, 2023

nate boutta put this blake dude in his place bruh

Blake is taking Nate’s detention throne!

Haaaa ! Nate’s been de-throned !

Ooh I hope this arc is about Nate trying to get into as much trouble as possible to take his throne back

A new challenger appears!

I don’t know when glorifying bad behavior became a thing, but I don’t think it’s a good thing.

5.5/10 OK, things are getting a little better. Could be an OK, or maybe a decent arc.

But he’s only been here for a week!

I feel like he’s cappin’. We’ve never even HEARD of this guy until now. And if he really was the king of detention, I think Nate would have known this already, since Nate always likes to 1-up popular people.

Strip rating: 7/10 I was also very shocked when I read that last panel.

That’s odd, most comics we’ve seen show that everyone knows Nate for getting detention and bad grades but everyone he’s forgot about that in just a couple weeks.

anyone else bored of this storyline already?

Yay! Looks like my prediction from yesterday is gonna be true!

oh it’s on

Nate is going to actively get thrown into detention just to 1-up Blake, I’m calling it now.

THIS IS UNACCEPTABLE!!

do we have another Kyle?

Nate has some competition

I actually feel bad for Nate. Hopefully he can put this new kid in his place. Nate is THE king of detention.

I think a few people said this but this is probably gonna be the same as when that kid Kyle had a messy locker, Nate’s the king of detention

A challenger to the throne!

One title I’m glad l never had or tried out for. Go for it Nate. However, that will ALWAYS be on your PERMANENT RECORD……

How can there really be a Detention battle because don’t everyone have the same classes. Also how do Mrs.Czerwicki not hear them.

first Artur, then Craig Tindall, and now him?? poor Nate has to many rivals

how has nate never heard of this guy

Now this is a good start. This storyline can go places.

DETHRONED! I smell a detention off!

Neither is a match for “The Cooler King” (Steve McQueen in The Great Escape).

I’m probably sure Nate is really freaked out. He may even have emotional damage later

Oh no! A challenge. o_O

This is going to end up like the Kyle arc.4/10, Let’s see if Peirce can get his act up.

thats cold cap, blake

Took a break for a little while. What did I miss?

Prediction for the arc:

The two of them have a competition to see who can get the most detentions in a day. Nate goes for the detentions on one day, and then Blake goes the day after.

Using every trick he knows, Nate manages to rack up twenty-five detentions in a single day. Then, he just waits to see how many Blake gets.

But Blake never shows up to the detention room on his day, why is that?

Well, as it turns out, Blake was so determined to get at least twenty-six detentions in a day that he went even farther than Nate went. The problem is, the lengths Nate went to were on the brink of expulsion. So as it turns out, Blake accidentally goes too far and gets flat-out expelled from school.

Technically, all the detentions Blake might have gotten were declared null and void, meaning Nate easily wins the competition and reclaims his title as the “King of Detention”.

Will this prediction be correct? Absolutely not. Am I still looking forward to this arc? Absolutely :)

Ha, Panel 4, the look of a “Tool”!

I think it’s nice the young men have goals!

Hoo voy!

Nate is going to Explode!
