Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for August 12, 2024

Like I said, practice makes perfect! Great job Martin!

HECK YEAH! Marty W let’s gooooo!

A miracle out in the field!

Good job, Lincoln! I like it!!

Marty finally got a W!

Waddya say now, Nate?

THERE IT IS!!! There’s Mr. Wright’s hero moment!

I KNEW IT, I KNEW IT! I COMMENTED A LITTLE WHILE AGO ABOUT IT AND THERE YOU GO! But was that his actual pitch, or a warm up? And does anyone else think it’s insane that this has turned into a three week arc?

YOOO MY BOY MARTY COOKED HE BOUTTA MAKE IT TO MLB FR

Honestly, I think the upcoming events are kind of obvious but I might still be wrong.

My guesses are that Marty throws 2 strikes and then the batter gets a home run.

This strip was nice though. 8.73/10 for me

And then everything plumets…

I too went POINK!

Why his leg go like that

I actually wanna say, I kinda hate today’s strip.

Poink!

da da du da duGood Ending unlocked: Marty gives a good pitch

Has anyone seen Nate’s brain?

And Nate’s eyes covered!! He MISSED it!!

STERRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRIKE!

Yeahhhhhhhh Baby! Finally something good happens to a member of the Wright family!

I’m thrilled any time Marty doesn’t screw up. So far we know he can pitch, and he’s a whiz with a frisbee.

Nate, you should’ve saw that. But bro if he gets scouted, he will hate it

Or the ball would have come back to Big Nate’s father and all the clothes would fall off – just like Charlie Brown on the pitcher’s mound.

Score one for dad

Ha ha Nate. Your dad isn’t so bad after all.

Wowza! Hahaha?… there goes 10 bucks

sometimes you’d be surprised on what others can do. ;)

……..oh ye of little faith!!!!!

Good for you old man

OK, that’s a new one. He came through in the clutch?!

This is totally not going to go to Nate’s head. No, not at all. /s

Didn’t see that coming. Go Dad!

Even a busted clock is right twice a day.

Nate, have more faith in your dad!

How to blow Nate’s mind!

….I hate to think that Nate dozed off on the mound just BEFORE the pitch, and is standing up sleeping and dreaming all this…….y’know like that poor yutz in the “An Occurrence At Owl Creek Bridge” story……..

Nate. You’re outta here!!

Wow, Martin actually manged to do something cool

This strip is rushed, and pleasantly expected. We all knew Marty would reveal his lucky skills and throw a strike, and he barely winded up. He didn’t lift his leg(possibly in panel 2) and he didn’t stride. The only reason he threw a strike is because of the fact the mound to home plate is 60 inches and Marty throws straight inaccurate and he probably threw a curve because of the fact it SHOULD be inaccurate. Martys face in panel 4 made him look like he expected the solid pitch.

But I know positively that this strip was rushed.

Beginner’s luck probably

LETS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! I was right!

Yooo is that a W

I’m rich……

I knew it :)

Yep told ya it either was gonna be really good or or really bad

hey yall ive been on vacation so haven’t been active. can yall tell me if anything interesting happened in the comments in the past 2 weeks?

Nate is so happy yet so shocked!

YAY! Go Marty!

pretty sigma huh

Nate should have more faith in his father.

Predicted it

I called it

Well done, my good man. You just blew the minds of all the haters and doubters.

I guess miracles do happen

I certainly wasn’t expecting that !

Glad he got his shirt back on.

WOW!

See! Nothing wrong with having a bit of faith. :)

While a little cruel (see the second panel), I do like the concern Nate has for his father, given how self-centered he usually is.

Look at my comment from 2 days ago— I bet that Marty’s gonna throw a strike, and he did.

and then Nate wakes up, its all been a dream…

OH yeahhh my typa pitch

Senior year of highschool starts tomorrow thats crazy to think. Ive been on gocomics since 8th grade and now im a senior. Inspirational shi

I thought it would go this way.

Hi everyone, I might do some casual ratings on here (Usually positive lol) but anyway, this is some development for dad, so 7/10.

Nate’s reaction is PRICELESS! Poink!

Marty’s Canon Event: The Amazing Super-Dad and the Strike of the Century!

Also btw who here was sad when the old 2009-2018 Nate style changed to this? 1983-2008 was kinda good with the square head, it was cute but it made him look like a 5th or 4th grader instead of a 6th grader. But what do I know? There’s a sixth grader the size of a truck in the lore.

Nate, you shouldn’t have covered your eyes.

Marty = W

Congratulations Mr. Wright! I was hoping he would give the ball to Nate and let him throw a pitch too.

In your face, Nate!

PLOT TWIST!!!…

FIRST!!!

Didn’t see THAT coming.

Poink!

GASP!

I can’t believe it! He actually threw a perfect strike!!
