Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for May 03, 2024

How much do you think that thing is worth?

Challenge to all reviewers: Make a comic strip and get it on GoComics in 20 years.

I loved Antiques Roadshow! It is always fascinating to learn about the history of items! I have not seen the show in years, are they still making new episodes or is it cancelled?

This Elmo guy sure made memories.

Maybe this is Nate’s Dad’s old wife who had been cheating on him… Hmmmmmm…..

I have scores of such letters from the mid ‘60s – early ‘70s. Lotsa XOXOs :)

Not much historical significance in digging a hole. Diggy diggy hole…

I suspect those letters should have been tossed in the outhouse.

Bayern and real Madrid tied. Just as I expected.

Those are historically important. Nobody has dug outhouse holes for probably 80 years.

Oh. This could be a fun ride for Nate

That’s right. Big, “important” people don’t have bodily functions.

⚠️ UPDATE 5 ⚠️

The comment section has successfully been revived, as yesterday’s featured post received the most comments observed in years. The seed for the second part of the plan has been sown. Perfection continues to try and impersonate me, which is funny, as he himself had called me a ‘MartySays impersonator’, despite me announcing the fact that I was just an admirer of his. Well, who’s the impersonator now? Anyhow, for all of the members of the alliance who might be confused, the impersonator has removed the hyphen from my username. Some may say that this was a mistake because my username, just like all of the other anti-rating alliance members has a hyphen in the ‘anti-rating’ portion. I might post another update if something interesting happens. Marty out.

Man, how were there so many comments yesterday? It was crazy!

3/10 the arc should’ve honestly ended by now and this strip wasn’t that funny

omg edna is actully cookie monster

Review war is cringe

Hi I’m new how come it wont show my comment after I refresh the page?

Makes me wonder if one of those two is still alive. I’m sure one of them would like them back.

Sorry guys, but those letters are only valuable to the person who wrote them.

I like the fact that as soon as teddy asked how much it’s worth Nate reads probably the worst part of the letter but I will assume that they will find someway to sell it 8/10

Uhhh…

I guess the letters aren’t that valuable

#ENDWARlet the comment section be peaceful once again

this comment section is somewhat peaceful as of now

if Nate was smart he could swap it to the bank to get some $

march on men. A new sun is in the horizon. THe enemy is slowly retreating. Our leader took a “rest” and will return with stronger men soon. I can see the hills and valleys from here.

This arc is losing me ngl

UPDATE

peacekeepers and world ends empire merge to form end war coalition (EWC)Join now to end the war members are juice boomin make it boom,shell , eggmanthegreat and Adam101 and other peacekeepers

The letters have no purpose now.

This is some cringe stuff right now. I’m gonna take a break

Sesame street did come out in the 60’s, so I wouldn’t be surprised if Elmo secretly had a lover named Edna back in his day… (Even though he’s apparently only 3)

⚠️UPDATE 6⚠️

Ok, perfection’s at is again with the impersonation, at the bottom I will load how you will be able to temporarily tell the difference. I may have to change my username again but I doubt it. Anyways, yesterday I made a possible call to peace, but even that was taken bitterly, and that’s ok, that just means the war continues longer, and longer, and longer.

We are winning. And we are winning by a LARGE margin, this war is making reviewers stop commenting all together, such as Carmona. It’s crazy. I want to thank my publicist HG7 (Anti-Review Alliance Official Publicist) (PK), for creating a full list of the members of our coalition, and anyone who has stuck with me this entire time, anyways, it’s time to see how YOU can tell the difference between me and perfection, and what their plan is.

1. In my update header (⚠️UPDATE 1-6⚠️ etc…) I don’t use an * or bold my headers, perfection does that.

2. Perfection has a much more formal typing style than I do

3. I’m sure they are doing this to confuse and annoy me and the anti-review members, but really the best we can do is ignore it.

4. As HG7 said, we must be on high alert, because people are already starting to get confused by this, so I will put a special character in my name that will require attention to detail so that you can see who I am.

Marty(The real on) out.

Join EWC to stop anti reviewers and reviewers to continue this war that disturbs this comment section reply below if you are sick of this war

Outhouses? Wow, those are old. Maybe Edna and Elmo’s great-grandchild or somebody is going to come and either a) get mad at them for digging it up or b) be happy that they found them.

I don’t understand why Mr. Peirce likes to use the first two strips to build tension and then the rest of the week is spent on nothing

Strike that off the to-do list.

You should bring back Aunt Barb

UPDATE

The anti reviewers a dwindling in numbers and so are reviewers the EWC are gaining this war is coming to end as more and more people are getting sick of this war prepare Marty it’s not looking good for you

if i want to be a reviewer, so sue me

what is this site??!!!!!!

imagine having a war that lasts for like 4 days

Elmo and Edna must be Edna from Big Nate lives it up. Even though Elmo was not mentioned in lives it up, I bet he is related. Also I just realized Marcus has not been in any books for a while.

A New Day a new chance. Today we shall attack the enemy by approximately 1 PM. Our generals are causing a great flight to the enemy. Me and my boys will continue to rout the bad ones out of the comment section. PIck a side guys, pick a side.

“I dug a new hole for the outhouse today” was the best thing in Big Nate

growing up in RI, i used an outhouse every summer from about 1958 to 1972…we had a little place in Charlestown near the beach, and we had a pump for water…best of times…my parents started leaving me down there by myself when i was about 7, because i slept outside in my buddy Keith’s boy scout tent all summer long anyway, and they’s go back to Providence, about 25 miles away…nearest phone was a mile away, payphone near the store…oh my buddy’s mom was there too…but yeah, best of times…beach was 1 mile away, but lake was 5 miles, and we’d usually go to lake every day

Depends on who the parties. If that had been written by George Washington or Abraham Lincoln it would make multiple thousands of dollars for the lucky finder. Try a little internet searching and see what you got…..

⚠️UPDATE 6.5⚠️

I have lost control of my coalition. The war rages on. I want peace now, but it’s not working. Maybe my members haven’t seen my messages, but I am trying to calm everything down a little bit. Apparently at 1 P.M there will be an attack, but I don’t know anything about this. Until we have the peace meeting, I am bound to my coalition unfortunately. When we do have this peace meeting, I will completely detach from the Anti-Reviewer Coalition, for it has spiraled completely out of control. We are now fighting for the wrong reasons, and this is the reason I am splitting. Because I have lost control of my coalition, I can’t actually be the one to end the war, but I will join the EWC.

It is time. Everybody go to yesterday’s featured. Carmona is secretly exchanging messages with an enemy. We gotta stop them before its too late

Guys, I just realized something. You know how Nate says he’s a Scorpio? And we don’t know when his birthday is? Well, Scorpios are born between October 23rd and November 21st, so that could mean Nate’s birthdays is in those dates!

Heh. This arc seems like the people there were from the 1800s

Guys I’m starting my own group called the ncg which stands for not cringe group

No dates on the letters? Could these be relations of the girl who painted the mural discovered behind the wall in Nate’s elementary school? Stay tooned…

Every other group is cringe

Sounds like it’s not worth much lol

Erm… pretty weird.

I would say probably 9/10 for arc this week. Today’s made me laugh hard so…

Who are EMC?

I just made an account and there’s drama already

Decent strip: 9 out of 10

Wait…is Nate digging in the REMAINS of the old outhouse?! EWWWWWW!!

Arc:5.7/10 rather mid and outhouses are nasty. And yes I am reviewing this arc so anti-review group of you’re reading this then just give up throwing shade at people that review comics stripes because it isn’t gonna stop them from reviewing comics. Call me cringe for all I care but that ain’t stopping me from reviewing

Bye everyone

I’m ditching this account forever

I have no idea what the other comment was about, ‘apparently some dudes had an online fight and it got pretty heated, someone tried to impersonate this “P̷o̷o̷r̷ ̷M̷a̷r̷t̷y̷” and he updated his name and profile so that people would know it is him. Got pretty confused looking at that comment, so I’m explaining it to you all.
