Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for October 01, 2012

“Hey, Mr Rosa, can I get an A+ for studying the history of chess?”

Wholey Macaroly!

Is it me or do Mr Rosa likes to say ‘gang’?PS: Rosa means pink in Italian!

last frame , Gina gives shock therapy

In Western Australia- where i live- it’s school holidays! but only for two weeks.

I would love if this is the arc where Nate finally realizes he belongs with Gina. Not expecting it, though.

One thing on the entire planet may have existed that’s worse than Artur being Nate’s chess-master. We are likely seeing it today!!

“Gah” is NOT how to pronounce “girl”.

AAUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GINA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!SOMEONE CALL 911 AUGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Honest to Pete, I was so bad at chess that I was made the team manager. Yes, yes, I was Chad.

I never learned how to play chess. Wish I did, but just too complex to learn, and I don’t have a lot of time.

Chess: minutes to learn and a lifetime to master. In my case, I won’t live long enough. lol

I love Nate’s look of shock. Well done.

What’s worse than Artur? It’s Gina!

Better Gina than Kim.

My thoughts EXACTLY.

@ Feed Me Comics – I believe “Rosa” actually means red in Italian, not pink. As in"Ferrari Testa Rossa", which meant “red head” because cylinder heads on the V-12 engine were painted red. Unless the single or double S makes a difference.

It looks like Nate was shocked by lightning.

Man, the 3 Stooges would be envious of the hair reaction in the last panel.

Nate has lost a few (maybe several) teeth b/t panels 3 and four. That’s “just-fer-show” out in comic-strip land, right?!?

Ha! Epic Fail, Nate.Francis Butthurst Pope shall have nutting to say about it!

AND SO IT BEGINS.

I love nate’s expression

no no NO!!!

Comic comet where are you?

What is she doing there?!

Gina!
