Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for December 14, 2023

Godfrey’s got Simpsons teeth.

I actually somewhat agree with Francis on this one. I think we’re all eternal souls that have been living life in one host then transcending to another since the beginning of life

A good meta gag, poor Nate!

7\10

I don’t belong here, we gotta move on dear

He has been in middle school a long time…

Shut up Godfrey!

Sounds like hell for nate

at least this time Nate, you’ve got Daphne :-)

Lemme think…1991-2023…He’s been living this life for 32 years.

She has a great white’s smile.

You mean like “Groundhog Day”? Where you have to keep living it over and over again until you get it right?

Nate…stuck at 11!!

Nate gets yelled at, but who is doing all the talking?

The sheer look of fear on Nates face in Panel 3 lol

That’s Groundhog Day on steroids

Ah, so Francis believes in Reincarnation!

I don’t believe in reincarnation. Also, Mrs. Godfrey’s over here yelling at Nate like he’s the spawn of Satan because he was talking. I mean, you’re yelling. You’re not exactly improving your situation…

Strip rating: 8/10 Nice to see Francis’ viewpoint on this idea!

That was a Hercules episode where he was in a Elysium and he kept living his best day over and over but without remembering that it was repeating.

Reincarnation has been mentioned before, where they talk about what they would come back as. Godfrey said she would come back as herself. Poll: What would you like to come back as?

Gee whiz, Mrs. Godfrey

Poll: if you had to choose one Big Nate character to be reincarnated as, who would it be?

Hmmmm. Track this back to that fabled date in 1991, count upwards to the present and…….hey! HOW close is this to one million?……….

9/10, nice theory, Francis! MatPat would approve! Besides, he is 32 years old!

If you want to know what a foreign country is like, you have to listen to the account of someone who has been there. Same goes for the afterlife. There is only one person who has and that is Jesus (John 3:13). You can do three things with that claim. You can conclude He is lying, that He is crazy, or that He is telling the truth, but you cannot claim He is just a wise teacher. A wise teacher is not a liar or a lunatic.

I don’t like this assignment at this age for children. It’s a major philosophical argument and not for this level of education…..

If that’s true, that means Nate has suffered Mrs. Godfrey a million times. Poor Nate.

The first time Hollywood used the replay trope was in the 1947 film “Repeat Performance” in which the main character makes a very bad decision on New Year’s Eve. She then wishes for and gets the chance to relive the entire previous year in an attempt to do better a second time.

We watched it last night on the Criterion Channel where it is streaming as part of their Holiday Noir curation.

Ive thought of this exact same thing that Francis said, you know how some people can remember their past life? (apparently)

I hope that isn’t the case. There are parts of my life I do not want to relive.

Honestly, that sounds awful in my opinion.

Fire Mrs. Godfrey

Plot Twist: they are slowly getting more self-conscious and slowly realizing they have been living for the past 40+ years

broke the 4th wall

Francis was literally talking for like half a minute before Nate even started talking, and he was basically just whispering. But look who gets yelled at.

7/10 fun gag but I hate Godfrey.

OOOOOO a time loop situation, Pretty funny gag! Overall Rating: 8/10

I love that “disgusted” balloon Mr. Peirce came up with.

Sounds about right. As soon as Nate opens HIS mouth, Bride-Zilla goes berserk. Never mind that Francis has been talking his head off.

Why does Mrs. Godfrey look like a Dav Pilkey character in the last panel?

hey, did nate break the 4th wall again

what would you use Nate’s locker for in real life? in my opinion it’s the most OP thing ever. You can pull anything you want from it, and it can be used as a nuclear weapon.

That’s depressing

Wait…

I want a Sigma Nate arc where he Rizzes up a level 10 Gyatt ice spice with his Ohio Fantum Tax Rizz and meets up with the Rizzler and Skibiti toilet to talk about Kai Cenat and look at Sypher PK reacting to Chun Lii’s Gyatt in Fortnite with peter griffin doing the giddy in the background and Spider-Man fighting Goku when he clips him for 200.

Interesting theory, but also a very sad one
