Seeing all the latest comics about him getting a girlfriend, Nate being more mature (caring less about his dad knowing about his girlfriend, being more subtle with Daphne) makes me think the comics might come to an end soon (stretch but i could see lincoln retiring after 32 years) so if he does retire and leave Big Nate behind, i wont be surprised.
In terms of story telling, one of the best arcs.
In terms of happiness and satisfying, one of the worst.
