Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for June 19, 2023

Prediction: 1. Chester is going to pass the test and not do anything to Nate 2. He is going to fail the test and the rest of the arc is Nate hiding from Chester and failing and Chester beats him up.

Oh there’s a 2nd week of this- honestly idrk what I was expecting lol

B tier

Chester’s walking out with an 84 guaranteed

I’m willing to bet Chester will get a 84

Surprised this is going for another week. Curious as to where it goes because outside of Nate hiding from Chester if the latter fails, I can’t imagine what else could happen. Maybe Daphne could finally cone back?

7\10, okay joke, intrigued by the continuation.

i was expecting a “first day/week of summer” arc

I’ve never seen Nate’s eyes like that (third panel)

To answer Nate’s last question, those times are long gone: https://www.gocomics.com/bignate/2021/09/05

its supposed to be prank day

Is there even such a thing AS tetherball anymore?!

I’m getting flashbacks to this strip: https://www.gocomics.com/bignate/2021/09/05?comments=visible#comments

Nah Chester’s getting an 84.75.

Dang, okay. So Chester making Nate tortured even more. Whats the point of continuing this arc, when Chesters gonna continue being annoying to Nate?3/10, this arc sorta sucks

School is out!

Well, Nate’s head is in jeopardy

it depends if your the ball or not.

Bruh, the same joke got used every strip throughout this arc, and it does with every chester arc ever. They talk and he seems alright and then he says something scary and Nate is frightened. Ooh hoo so funny

haha chester is big and bad

I used to have a tetherball pole in my backyard

My elementary school used to have tetherball poles when I went there. The poles are long gone by now.

Yikes. He had better succeed.

He’s going to get an 85, or Nate is going to be in the hospital for weeks.Also, this is my last week of school!

Are these death jokes supposed to be funny? Cuz I don’t really think Chester’s death threats are funny…

Strip rating: 3/10 I didn’t play tetherball often anyway, I thought it was kind of boring…

When was tetherball ever a “mildly enjoyable playground activity”? It was war!

i’m back guys

It’s almost time for Prank Day :-)

Remember when Chester didn’t exist?

…now, what would REALLY be funny is if: Chester just squeezed by with an 86 and passed for the year, but (drum roll please!) Nate fell a point below passing aaaaaannnnd: has to go to summer school……again!…..

No. I don’t even know what tetherball is! Is it like volleyball?

Nothing Chester hasn’t already done…

If I was Nate I should be considering getting a restraining order

That’s one terrifying thought.

That girl in the back looks like she’s 60 years old
