Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for March 25, 2024

Well. This reminds me of times you don’t want something to happen but it happens. Poor Nate

Well, strike 3 has appeared

Tomorrow’s strip should be interesting

Only hope now is that they are asking the other if they want to break up with them, and then realize they don’t want to break up with each other

Well, we don’t know what what’s going to happen. Maybe Daphne was worried Nate was going to break up with her! Maybe last week she was worried BECAUSE of that. You never know

“No!”

Dun dun dunnnn

Stay together, but Nate needs to stop misbehaving and no more detentions! Reform himself to keep Daphne.

Just Say No

its understandable nate’s petrified about the thought of breaking up but why is daphne being questioning? like you’re the one who wants to break up why ask him

They’re talking about it. Maybe they’ll sort it out and be fine

This is it. We’re reaching the end of the road

whelp this sucks. thankfully a failing middle school relationship in some random comic strip i read about once every week shouldn’t have a big affect on my life.

So now both should say in unison “NO!” Then all should be fine. They can talk and then agree to stop listening to their dippy friends. Suddenly I hear Al Green’s song “Let’s Stay Together” in my head – it’s on YouTube.

Not as bad as I expected.

I know we’ll find out soon but why is Daphne asking Nate that?

As far as she knows Nate has no idea, so why is she asking him if HE wants to break up.

Well this sucks

I’m hoping this will still work out. Fingers crossed!

You guys! Exactly eight years ago TODAY Nate broke up with Trudy! I wonder if Peirce planned it, or if it’s just a crazy coincidence!

The plot from “Pride and Prejudice” never gets old, and is never learned from.

they both don’t want to, but it’s the pressure from others that is making both of them choke up.

This week better be Peirce’s biggest plot twist

Wait… We know why Nate would ask that but why would Daphne ask the same thing? I’m. Sure we’ll have the answer by tomorrow.

Oh my days no please no!

just say no

Are those questions or propositions?

Apartment 3-G did it better.

…There we go… I’m gonna start getting angry!

Wait, They ask it as a question, so mabye they’re only asking it to see if the other wants to break up and if neither of them want to they won’t.

Now they both answer, No!

You know what that’s it I don’t want any more Big Nate Girlfriends. anymore people are hyped and love the new couple than and then they break up after a year don’t get very much screen time and don’t get much arcs and Daphne wasn’t there for the summer! and even then I’m supposed to be like sad they broke up. it happened something like, what three other times and the way it usually goes is they’re never mentioned or on screen ever again, and we’re supposed to be emotionally attached to Nate “I feel sympathetic for him” or whatever I can’t anymore.

Please say no, please say no… You guys belong together!

No

A week ago they were perfect and for almost no reason they are both breaking up now

do the words “nope, my friends are wrong” work for moments like these. :J

NO. DON’T. It’s what others want. If you don’t want it, then DON’T.

Let’s hope they properly communicate their true feelings and do not breakup.

There better be a big twist coming.

Well… If it ends like this then they weren’t meant to be, I guess.

They will both say “no, but my stupid friends said…”

At least they are talking, sometimes at that age you act before you talk.

Option 1 – they end up realizing they were being pushed into it and don’t break up.

Option 2 – they break up, are miserable and get back together after realizing their friends did this to them and telling them off.

I hope this goes smoothly….

If this happens…..I don’t know what to say, except Daphne has some evil friends

Looks like the ship is sinking really bad for N8. Can he save his relationship or is he doomed?

Correct Answer: NO!!!!!!!!!!!

You know what? This is actually an interesting way to go about it. I was scared that one wasn’t going to give the other a chance, but the fact that they’re presenting it at the same time opens up some things.

I’m still not happy at all about this storyline. But there’s a chance.

Actually, maybe it won’t happen. I mean, they’re both heartbroken.

Strip rating: 8/10 Can’t wait for tomorrow’s comic.

aw…neither one wants to

Please let them both say no…

Maybe they actually wont break up! If they break up, then… Im gonna stop giving hearts to these comics. Thats it.

They are going to talk to each other and have a deep, meaningful conversation, and they will tell each other how much they care and all will be good then Daphne’s friends will start planning revenge and kidnap Spitsy and blow up the school (Okay maybe not the last part but it could happen) ((As long as they put Spitsy back because I love Spitsy))

Asking the question leaves room for conversation. A statement would have ended things right then.

epic plot twist

Together on three : 1 ,2, 3 NOOOO

they better not break up

i hope they both say no

its such an easy fix to not get detention anymore

That went well. Good Communication begins with a question.

I hope they don’t break up. I’d be fun if they broke up ad got back together, though.

Hello Everyone I’m back (left for spring break and plus got tired of commenting)

Overall Rating: 6/10 (grabbing popcorn)

you can tell that they don’t.

COME ON

they were perfect together

All depends on the tone of the they both say it in a plaintive way, then it should be, hopefully, resolved. If two different tones, they’re toast

Let’s hope for the best guys. Maybe Nate can pull out of this with Daphne.

WAAAAAH ME SO SAAAAAD

that is just sad.

This can NOT be happening

ARRRGH, don’t do it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

DON’T DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I swear to God!

I’ll stop reading Nate!

“I’m happy with Nate.” “No you’re not.” “Ok, guess we gotta break up.” WHO WROTE THIS?

Best way to say it that I’ve ever seen….

This is moving today. Not a fart joke in sight and I’m glad he didn’t listen to Teddy

Strikeout

They are talking instead of assuming; that is a good sign.

Since this relationship is over, who do you like best out of Nate’s previous girlfriends?(including Daphne)

either break up or don’t, I want a new arch

NONONONONONONONONONONONONONONO

The best thing that has ever happened to Nate, and now it looks like it’s going to be destroyed. I don’t get it.

I hope it all doesn’t end here for Nate and Daphne

Aw crap it looks like the end of the road but hopefully rush hour or a bad driver either slows it down or stops it for a very long time

2/10, at least the are talking! That’s a VERY good sign. Wordle answer: Heart!

This arc is reminding me of the time I watched that sad zombie soap opera

I’m an Optimist.

This is it for Nate and Daphne… strike three at this point

And then a stereo NO!

…this sorta worked for Mel Gibson and Danny Glover in that “bomb in the toilet” scene…on three!!……

THE SUSPENSE

I called it!

This could probably be the last week Daphne shows up. So sad.

Knowing that they don’t want to do it but their friends are forcing them makes me really sad. 9/10 anyways.

I really hope they both say no, but probably not

I just want to say to you all, I knew that they were going to break up like all of nate’s other girlfriends, and then I recieved a bunch of hate replies, saying I was wrong. I knew that there is no reason for Nate to have a girlfriend for the rest of his life, that is boring.

Looks like they both don’t want to. I think the problem is solved.

It’s pathetic that someone leaves a million comments on their own post to boost it to the #1 spot. Everyone should flag every one of this guy’s comments. Maybe he’ll get booted.

Hasn’t this been Nate’s first girlfriend in 8 fudging years

Just flag the idiot.

Cross your fingers. It hasn’t happened yet…

he’s had 4 other girlfriends: kelly, angie, trudy, and daisy. Although I might have missed some.

Hello from the future. Everyone including myself panicked so hard lmaooooo.
