Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for February 19, 2024

Looks like Nate has some competition

Nate’s got his game face on!

This could be a good arc!

Crinkle or be crinkled!

THIS IS WAR RAHHHHH

My Grandma makes the best molasses crinkles!

It turns out that Daphne’s grandmother makes the best molasses crinkles.

oooh 8/10 its a starts for a new arc!? ps my battery is 2 percent…

But who makes the best cheez doodles?

Games on Nate

She broke Nate, I think. Start the Battle Royale.

Actually, not bad way to start the week, I don’t really know if im gonna like this arc tho lol

7/10, funny Nate facial expression, and funny strip. Not seeming like the funnest arc about a bake sale. Nates grandmother is gonna win. Thats a little too predictable. But if not, I guess its not a lot predictable tho XD

My prediction, Gina will get tripple motor shaped (or lose if you are uncultured).

Alright guys, I have found out that the last strip Ellen appeared in was January 15, 2023. So my theory is that Ellen went to college. And the strip that she appeared in was a sunday strip, so that makes it more likely that on that sunday she was just visiting back. And she could’ve been on break then. That is my theory. I’ll do more research.

Poll: what’s your favorite type of cookie??

The Grate Nate Bake-Off

I’ll be the judge of that!! No really, I’d like to be the judge.

The bake sale is becoming a bake-off.

IS THAT A CHALLENGE?!

Strip rating: 8/10 Looking forward to the rest of the arc! Also, why does Nate’s buck teeth only show up when he’s blowing his top? Lol!

Gram’s molasses cookies are LEGENDARY

Isn’t Gina’s grandmother like 20 years old bc I remember the grandparents day arc and her grandma was like 20-25 bc her grandpa remarried? Also in back for awhile! But unfortunately none of my friends BNFF1 if you are reading this pls come back!

plot twist: they have the same grandmother.

This is gonna be epic 10/10 Peirce when did you decide to pull this out of the bag A+ go team marge

cue the dark ambient music with discordant overtones which, although broadly tonal, is inflected with chromatic and polytonal passages representing the archetypal example of a florid, melodramatic style without being interpreted as an overly heavy-handed metaphor within the context of the thematic material a bit on the frenetic and frantic side with interesting rhythmic devices which seem to counterpoint the surrealism of the underlying metaphor utilizing a novel imaging technique known as positron emission tomography and the spontaneous nondenominational conceptions by expansively recontextualizing liminal narratives of colonic hydrotherapy

At least it wasn’t Daphne—THAT could be what would tear them apart!

Ohh a competition. Who are you betting on to win guys? I bet Nate is going to win but let’s find out

Isn’t her grandmother 24 and her grandfather 54?

LLLLLLLLLLLLLLLETS GET READY TO RUMBLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLE!

She doth dare.

idk, but isn’t gina’s grandma dead? Isn’t her new one really young? “Big Nate: Welcome to My World”

The Hatfield’s and the McCoy’s only in cookies. Still deadly though….

no, i make the best molasses crinkles.

It’s so sad when the rivalry between grandmothers passes to the grandchildren. At least the former make sweets, the latter just a mess.

If there’s enough molasses in anything so that it’s in the name, it’s almost certainly way too much.

Now this intrigues me

6/10, interesting, but Nate’s grandmother HAS to win! The look on Gina’s face would be awesome! Wordle answer: Beans!

Now Big Nate’s getting interesting again!

the battle is joined

Promising arc!

Uh oh, you just made a biiiig mistake, Gina. NO ONE insults Nate’s grandmother.

Nate just pulls out a gun

Eh, another Gina Nate rival arc. 7/10 Looks kinda intersting though.

Looks like kindergarten is back in session.

Game on.
