Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for July 31, 2023

most expensive donuts ive ever seen

Sigh.

This legit feels like a strip Peirce made from personal experience, old man shouting at cloud and whatnot.

5\10, eh. Not an exciting arc idea.

Must have taken him to VooDoo Donuts. Over hyped overpriced and way disgusting.

Clearly you’ve never had macarons

Whole Foods?

In my country, there’s a Dunkin Donuts close to my home, and the donuts there cost around 3.50 Malaysian ringgit, which is 78 American cents. So if they have those designer donuts in my country, they would each be RM15.76! That’s insane! And yes, I’ve calculated all that. One American dollar = RM4.50

I’m with gramps on this.

Bros old

The same price for a dozen donuts at Dunkin’.

hey guys im back from my trip to europe and cant wait to start reading comics again haha

I like Krispy Kreme the best. And really love their coupons where you buy a dozen donuts and get another dozen free. Unfortunately I can never use them as I can’t get all those donuts past my wife.

Inflation SUCKS!

made-to-order Duck donuts are about that much.

What IS a “designer donut”?

What’s this, “Old Man Day”? Zits had a similar skit today.

I’m totally with Gramps on this one. Yet, we all know there will be a line out the door waiting to buy them by young numnuts who don’t know the value of a dollar.

candy bars used to be 5 cents

Dang. But I think I prefer bagels…

Strip rating: 7/10 RIP the Einstein Bros that I’d go to almost every other day… But still, I’ll agree with Gramps here. The price is pretty ridiculous…

But they are Artisanal! Like Quinoa, another thing I don’t get and can’t pronounce even!!

Get it at an organic farmer’s market stall it would be $10.

$3.50 for a donut! The Rubicon has been crossed…..

I’m with gramps here. I can understand pay even 1$5 for a special ice-cream. But not for a donut.

This entire arc looks promising.

that is expensive

It’s a good deal. After all there’s a weeks worth of calories in each.

better buy it today- tommorrow it will be 5

Yeeeeikes. better go find a new shop, it’s not worth it.

Also, I made a BiggerNate91 PNGTuber!

I’ll send gramps some Voodoo Donuts from Portland. They’ll blow his socks off! (actually on second look at those socks, let’s say halfway off)

“The times they are a-changin’” was bound to make it out to donuts sooner or later………

…go find Coach John, Nate…..when you two last met, he had $299.00 in his wallet………maybe he’ll “spot” Gramps……..

Bro that’s not even a lot

In my town donuts cost like half the price than these ones.

To all the readers who keep putting comics down and grading them. Why are you reading them? Why don’t you write your own if you are so great at judging what is and isn’t funny? By-the-way these are rhetorical questions. And I will take my own advice and not read your comments or answers :)

We have a place that moved in my city recently that makes “Mochi donuts” within “Nate’s” local area.

The best way to describe them is “arrange 8 donut holes together in a circle, cook them then coat them”. I don’t know it it’s regular dough of something else.

Regular donuts are $3.50 and specialty donuts are $3.75 each.

It’s about 2 towns south from “Wimpy Kid’s” bookstore.

Even Top Pot Doughnuts aren’t that much.

I don’t think I’ve purchased a donut at a bakery in 20 years or more. So, I decided to look up what a dozen donuts would cost. I went to Dunkin. It’s impossible to find out how much a dozen is. It’s nowhere. Highly detailed nutritional information (for a donut?), sure. But not pricing. Seriously. I couldn’t even figure out how to place an order online. I think you have to use their app. I don’t even want the donuts; I sure don’t want the app.

Okay. Must be an anomaly. I’ll try Krispy Kreme, the largest chain in the country. (Dunkin is #2.) How much is a dozen donuts? No one knows. It’s not there. You can’t see it and you can’t order it online. Oh, oh, wait. You can do it. It’s a bit sneaky. You have to tell it you want delivery, then switch it to “pick up.” Okay, enough distractions. How much is a dozen donuts? Although it varies by type, a “classic assorted dozen” is $15.99. Okay. Thanks. Seems reasonable. But I think I’ll just go back to not buying donuts. It’s much easier!

When I was 13, at my local Dunkin Donuts we’d pay $1 or less.A donut and drink would cost me $4.00!

$3.50 for a designer doughnut makes sense.

Inflation is crazy
