Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for August 26, 2024

Yeah, coach is not going to do that!

“Forget winning. Let’s eat!”

Coach doesn’t get paid enough for that

This is like the time Nate had to purposefully strike out because they were going to lose anyway, and they wanted to get home in time the watch “The Simpsons”.

Coach will them fat YAYYY!!!

Of course Nate is asking for even more icecream

Coach’s expression on the last panel shows that he is not gonna do that

Guys I start school today

Nate’s expectations are too high!

Nate, prepare for your butt to be hurting from two things: Your teammates’ happiness for slapping you one for the great suggestion, and from the coach for kicking it for the suggestion!

at least try to win!

He should have said if they won then Coach will take them for Ice cream and pizza.

The “just get through six innings” mentality is the mentality of almost all the bad little league teams that play.

This game isn’t the Little League World Series.

Nate knows how to motivate people

……nothing like leadership!!!!!

I bet Coach Calhoun won’t take them anymore

now THATS how you get fired up… not for the game but the point still stands

and his heart sank to his feet… :j

……boy, talk about a pie-in-yer-face approach…….

Nate’s leadership is like a piece of rotten fries/old socks, in the way that it stinks.

Who agrees

This is a good start for another terrible season for Nate.

Their midgame battle cry: FOR PIZZAAAAAAAAAA!

THAT’S how you moviate people!

Watch them lose by more than 10 home runs

Maybe the Chicago White Sox should try this. (Lost their 100th game Sunday; on track to be worse than the 1962 Mets).

… three pepperonis, is that right?” Coach Calhoun, “and 2 aspirin“

It’s been awhile since their sponsor and mascot changed, who thinks it will during this year?

They still should have called themselves the Stingers

If nothing else, play spoiler for the opponents. Yeah!

That’s how it was when our kids played summer sports: parents organized the money pot and the kids had a pizza and ice cream party after the last game. The money also went for the obligatory trophies, and a gift for the coach. The restaurant sponsor made up the difference if we were short at the end.

Man, I kind of wanted to see what happened last arc. I don’t want to leave a arc unfinished!

I like this strip it feels like the good old 2015 strips

Oh, no. Coach is going to end up spending 40 + dollars for pizza, even if they lose — as Francis puts it — “Ten – Zip”

chat juice is frfrfrfrfrfrf dead he hasnt commented in like 3 months lol

Go to September 25 1995

The kind of pep talk I’d listen to.

ugh. First day of school.
