Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for March 27, 2023

another gina and chad arc I see

Chad? Ewwww

Oh crap

This will be interesting

This doesn’t make sense to me. Gina’s liked Chad for a while, so how come now she suddenly cares if people like her? If she started liking Chad now, maybe it would make sense..

I’m going to think Chad never picked up Gina’s lovesick signals.

Now we know!

Aw shoot, here we go again.

and so, it continues… these ‘gina likes chad’ arcs are always going to be a good one.

I knew she didn’t actually want to improve. And why was she asking Dee Dee, someone with no relationship experience? Just Google “How to Get Guys to Like You”, Gina.

6/10 Well, at least now we out Gina back into character.

Just give Chad food, that’ll win him over

This has gone very downhill…

the plot thickens

Ahh maybe this is more long-term development than I anticipated. Peirce doesn’t usually bring back old storylines.

that shifted

I thought she actually wanted to improve but instead, she wanted chad to like her

and if you think of it “why don’t people like me”

I should have known the “like” was used in a romantic sort of way

Uh-oh.

Strip rating: 8/10 This looks like it’s gonna be interesting, considering that Gina has had a crush on Chad for quite some time…

Chad likes everybody, doesn’t he?

Didn’t we already see something similar to this?

I thought Chad broke Gina’s heart already will he do it again

Seeing stuff like this makes me glad I’m single.

Gina liking chad AGAIN? really, but I am surprised on the 2 week arc.

Uh oh, here we go again…

Gina’s temperament will corrupt Chad’s kindly nature.

Uh oh

Chad likes everybody.

….she had “the hots” for Chad sometime back, as I recall (her ponytail leaping straight up in the air is still a vivid image: I think it even made a “BOINNNGGGGG!!” sound)………

Now I wonder if they’ll help Gina get together with Chad, or if they’ll help Chad to avoid a future of sadness and submission to Gina.

I always thought Big Nate would always be the Seinfeld of comic strips…am I to disbelieve?

But what an arc to Come!!!

Aquarius and Aries

Ghad? China? The first couple’s nickname is terrible and the second one’s taken.

A comeback of an interesting plot point

not this again

Oh. Ew.

They’re not exactly opposites, and he could be considered cute to a lot of girls at that age. Lucky guy….

That’s our Chad

oh my mistake i thought she’d wanna actually be nice 6/10 i mean pretty long arc but honestly it’s just like no just no

again?

I honestly remember the day Gina and Chad’s romance arc started, I remember being hooked! Was a decade ago, if I remember correctly.

Which is sort of the problem with this strip. Is this meant to be a big surprise? I know that Gina’s crush on Chad isn’t the largest fixture of the series, but it’s not some earth shattering twist. And since this strip is going for drama, not comedy, I can’t rate is well.

2/10, as pointless as 25/3/2023 strip.

I think this is the start of a romance. A-.

Is it possible for a female to have rizz because Gina has negative aura
