Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for January 13, 2024

Not a nice question to say to Mr.Staples, Nate

I hope the arc is over, it is just too repetitive

Maybe Mr. Staples would have become a professional basketball player. Who knows!

Why would Randy stick gummies up his nose?

Good grief, is he a square head or what?

Arc salvaged LOL

Ever heard of something called nominative determinism?

It’s an okay gag I guess, glad the arc is over.

4\10.

DD came back, I’m glad to say!

Yeah, I’d roll my eyes too.

Thank god this piece of crap is over!

Why, he’d be a square dancer, naturally!

This has been one of the most boring story arcs of all time.

Does anyone know which UK newspaper has Big Nate?

Hey, we actually haven’t seen Staples in a while!

7/10

I’m eating a batch of organic gummy bears right now.

Mr staples is the most underrated character in big nate

5/10, arc’s finally over. Why would Randy do that? Nick Blonsky yes, but not Randy!

Not for me. Some people like kids. I am not like some people.

LOTS of promising occupations out there for a guy with a perfectly rectangular head…..ya just gotta be dogged in yer search……

I guess NOT sticking gummies up your nose is part of education.

Is Mr. Staples any relation to Mr. Spongebob? There’s what looks like a family resemblance…

I think this is neat, seeing each teacher react to the question

I thought Mr Staples wasn’t a character anymore and that’s why he almostnever appears lol

There’s garbage components to almost every career……

Just reminding everyone about that Ellen Wright character who just faded out of our timeline and hasn’t been seen for years

Wow.. Mr. Staples look different, and it’s actually kinda cool?

So, like a principle or something?

Best answer yet!

I could never be involved with education. I can’t teach anything to save my life.

Also, maybe waiting until the end of the month to read all the strips is a bit much. Weekly appearances might be a better idea.

Ha! I love how a simple question can produce so many entertaining responses!

Easy! He’d be running the Staples Office Store chain!!

A really nice reminder, and an introduction to new readers, about all the teachers in Nate’s life.

15/10!

We I mean, it’s ending today, so now we won’t see this son of a kids show arc anymore.

Randy already snorting things up his nose?

Why was Randy putting gummies up his nose?
