…so all that for a lame gotcha plot twist? As if she wasn’t bothered? Because she clearly was?
What a waste of two weeks. What started as a funny arc turned boring, predictable, mean and now plain stupid. No need to incorporate even a little emotion or development, just a lame punchline.
And yes, I KNOW Big Nate is a comedy strip. I don’t think every week should be a soap opera. But that doesn’t mean every arc has to stick to the same formula. We’ve seen (rare) emotional arcs before, plus the novels proved he could write moments like that if he tried. I’m not asking for some teary conversation, but having Dee Dee’s friends explain to her that she needs to change her acting methods and seeing her exhibit more than just 3 types of jokes for the first time since 2016 (you know, nearly 9 years ago) wouldn’t be the end of the world.
But no. Another lame punchline.
0\10. Hopefully next arc is Christmas themed and actually funny at least.
sah-wheeet! For a minute there, I thought this might sort of segue into next week (INCLUDING Sunday’s strip!)……it’s time for another “right around home with NATE” Christmas arc (THAT can stretch a couple extra weeks!)…….

This is a weird but surprising arc, honestly. I like it!
BTW I’m back, I was out for 5 days not that any of you guys care. ;)
This strip is funny but a bit surprising. You know what? What would be funny if Kim started laughing at Deedee because she took her place.
The arc could be a 9/10, but this strip deserves no more than a 7/10.
What are your ratings y’all?

It’s a wonder if she was lying and that she really was in a funk, but was motivated to convince people that she wasn’t in a funk?

Acting? No, more like faking distress for attention. It’s called LYING.

She’s like the Russian in the Limeliters’ “Gari, Gari”: either she’s miserable being happy, or happy being miserable.

Unfortunately, her act could not save this arc as it hits a 0/10 just like her acting.
