Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for January 23, 2024

All them pathogens in his shoes must like this.

I guess you could say something DID die in Nate’s shoes!

So odorous that not even Odor-Eaters can stand a chance

Meh.

5\10. (No long analysis since what is there to say but gross joke isn’t funny?)

Ok that’s new

New sneakers by Nike: Toxic Waste

Oh, no. Now he’s soulless!

Those stinky shoes are insolent.

Sigh.

It’s too bad that Peirce seems to keep himself back from exploring beyond his comfort zone. Just when Gina was starting to have more depth as a character and a new side to her was being opened up which was not unsympathetic to the reader – just when some of us here felt that the strip was moving in a new direction and Nate and the gang were evolving in a refreshingly interesting way – it’s back to Nate’s smelly shoes again and Gina’s broken heart and insecurity are left abandoned. I was really hoping for the Gina arc to last a number of weeks a la the Peppermint Patty arcs in Peanuts. It was interesting to see Gina thinking of Ms Godfrey in a new light and seeking agreement from Nate, and I wanted to see more of that. I also wanted to see whether Chad would finally become aware of Gina’s feelings for him. Finally, it would have been nice to see Gina talking her troubles of the heart over with Daphne.

odor eaters?

i love leaving comments in random strips all over the big nate timeline, its crazy when a random guy replies to you like 5 months later— sometimes 5 years later :)

At least it’s Nate’s feet… not “somewhere behind” him!! But his sneakers are revolting against him!

I remember his feet killed a bird, must be ten years ago.

How does that happen. Eww…

…can’t keep ‘em in the freezer a few days…….THAT doesn’t really kill off all the bacteria, like many folks think….can’t boil ‘em in water, either…THAT’LL likely kill everything, but…………Nate, it’s time to bury ‘em somewhere in the back yard, and petition dad for a new pair (it’s not asking for …..a dog, y’know)…..

Dang nate thats nasty

Nate’s philosophy is ‘love me, love my dogs’.

What’s weird is that it’s Nate’s feet themselves that reek and not the shoes. I’m also surprised nobody is gagging or fainting yet.

I’ll be back next week; This arc stinks.

No. That’s… that’s all I have to say. Just no.

2/10 No.

Paraphrased from MAD Magazine:

“Your shoes are like a garbage dump,

But heck, why should you mind it?

It’s us who get it in the schnoz,

You get to stand behind it!"

(The bold part was originally “breath is”.)

Step away from the kid, before the lethal fumes disintegrate you…☺️☺️☺️

Yikes! This is why Canada gave up feet for the metric system.

I’m returning simply to say this is not a good arc.

This is just disgusting, not funny, disgusting. Overall Rating: 4/10

So this arc will be about smelly shoes.

6/10, while I like the joke, I don’t think this is going to lead to something interesting. Fingers crossed that I’m wrong!Also, I forgot to do this yesterday, but the answer to my Wordle is brick, and congrats to JPuzzleWhiz for getting it correct!

Um…

Guys now that every one is retiring from being a Gc comic reviewer i will be the new gen comic reviewer wish me luck guys. anyways here today’s comic rating

7.5 this idea about nates stinky shoes is kind of repetitive but it will do, have a great day and see you tomorrow

The odor… ate the odor eaters?

Remember when Nate played sports and did chess? Remember when Arthur was around?

back to review just because the last arc was better peirce should continue with that 6/10

Nate has a girlfriend. He should reform his ways in order to keep her. Sam Cooke. “By being an A student, baby….” What a wonderful world this would be…

Odor Eaters got indigestion
