Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for July 17, 2023

Look on the bright side Nate, she can’t break up with you until she comes back from camp.

I got scared for a moment and thought she was breaking up with him

here comes a 2 month arc about nate missing daphne

Actually don’t mind this idea! It’s unique (I don’t think we’ve ever even seen Nate miss anyone who’s gone somewhere), it means we can have different arcs until September, and this MIGHT have some cute moments (that first panel was already great!). I could definitely see a first kiss in this arc OR when she comes back. Of course this will mostly be jokes about Nate missing her too much but hey, let’s see! This could absolutely be one of those times where Peirce seeps in a teeny but of drama!

8\10, wonder what camp she goes too. A normal one? Math camp? Cowboy camp?

just any other summer now, nate my boy

I wanna see nate try and sign up for the camp it would be cool

I like this but I also feel this coudlv’e been brought to his attention yesterday. Then again Daphne knows who she’s dating, so it’s likely she knew he’d spiral if she told him any sooner.

Maybe Nate will ask Jenny and Artur for advice on how to deal with this situation cause in case you forgot, in 2009 Artur moved to Turkey for six months and Jenny moved to Seattle in 2012

I read this the first time and I was like- NoOoOoOoooOo but then I read it again and yeah it ain’t bad lol, sets up for good future arcs

A tier

I’m sure Daphne has a boy-toy lined up at camp.

That’s a long camp. What kind of camp is this?

“Will I see you in September, or loose you to a summer love?”

”That was a fun beach day yesterday!”

you spent almost all of last week with school picture guy, what are you talking about

How will Nate take this? Coming up next!

And she’ll find someone else at camp.

Speaking of camp, last week, I was gone for camp for a week. I wonder what kind of camp would make you stay for over a MONTH!

Strip rating: 3/10 We didn’t really get to see Daphne very often anyway, so sending her off to camp isn’t that big of a deal. Most importantly, WE NEVER GOT TO SEE THEM KISS!

Will distance make love stronger or will destroy the couple? Daphne could tell this news sooner. Or maybe she didn’t want to ruin the date to the beach with Nate?

Nate should join the camp. Unless it’s something like “cat camp.”

….LOVE the look on her face in P4 where she’s getting him “clear on the concept”……

Plot twist: the camp is Camp Nate v2

Absence makes the heart grow fonder or forgetful…..

Oh noes.

Hear me out. What if the relationship is over and when she comes back she’ll break up with him? Hopefully not but just think

What if Nate tries to go to the same camp to be with her

Guesses for the arc: what camp is Daphne going to?

A. Chess

B. Dude ranch

C. Math

D. Regular

E. Theatre

F. Other

Oops! He planned his whole summer around her

Imagine when Daphne comes back she is with another boy.

I hope she doesn’t meet someone there that will destroy their relationship.

7/10. That is a good arc, I like Daphne temporarily not being Nate’s Girlfriend, not permanently. Also i wonder what camp she goes too also.

Oh, no.

Good, we need a break from Daphne anyway

maybe she will go to reading camp

Not September the day?!

See youuuuu in SepteeeeemberrrrSee youuuuu when the summer ends
