Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for December 19, 2023

I feel bad. Because even though many people think this they actually need a lot of love and care. Hamsters and gerbils one of the most abused pets in the world

Surprised we’re not getting an arc about him buying something for Daphne

I mean…Nate’s had far dumber ideas. Could actually work

Tho hasn’t he taken care of Spisty for a week or smth before?

You’d be surprised how hard it is for a gerbil to be entertained. But yeah, anyone can take care of one.

Strip rating: 5/10 Maybe this arc could move to a better, more interesting place…?

Don’t forget: Gerbils are human beings, too.

I thought this had potential as the arc, only for the characters to shoot it down.

6\10. Meh.

No offense to Nate, but I don’t think he’s responsible enough to take care of Sherman on his own. After all, Nate let Sherman escape once and almost got him killed

Did you know? Gerbils are able to shed their tail if it gets caught by a predator. Imagine if Spitsy were to cause Sherman to shed his tail, and Nate, coming upon the scene seconds afterward and seeing just the tail, would think that Spitsy had eaten Sherman!

Sherman is doomed.

Please Lincoln I want to see Nate’s mum.

Well, I had a pet hamster as a kid, and it wasn’t a walk in the park to take care of him. R.I.P Chuckles you lived a great one year on Earth. Also, I visited the Big Nate Go Comments Wiki for the first time yesterday. Not exactly Fun Central. Random conspiracy theropod about BNFF1 being BBFF2, huh? The place was also filled with trolls. Anyway, have a great day!

Agreed!

Well, Nate’s gotta have a new plan

Not necessarily……

It’s not gonna work, Nate. The odds of getting a dog are the same as rolling a 7 on a six-sided die. Impossible.

GUESS.

Not gonna work.

According to that logic, a 2 hour old can take care of a gerbil.

Would GoComics count as social media?

Let’s see if he can take care of Mr. Danders.

Sherman is back!

“just because anyone can take care of a gerbil doesn’t mean anyone should”

Gerbil shaming. I’m appalled. Fortunately I’m also amused.

I feel bad for Sherman, so abused.

And do you really think that Godfrey would even let you at all?

Maybe anyone can take care of a gerbil, but Marty might be impressed anyway that Nate can handle any responsibility. . .

Oh yeah, too human.

Poor Sherman

Sherman is a absolute rockstar

Bruh

We have a clowder of 5 that would just love to take care of Sherman.
