Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for December 29, 2013

Friendship for protection…looks like you’re set Francis :)

That was an “I need a friend” moment!

I only remember Nate showing anxiety and uneasiness around bullies. Is this a new Nate? From recent strips, I’d more expect Gina to be Francis’ savior.

what francis said about nate in the first few panels remind me of sheldon

Awwwww….

“That’s What Friends Are For!”

This sort of reminds me of the relationship that some siblings have. You torture them on a daily basis, but if someone is being mean to them you become protective.

Go Nate!

Nate and Francis became friends when, in kindergarten, Francis was snoring during nap time. So Nate hit him in the head with his “Thomas The Tank Engine” lunch box, and they have been best friends ever since.Am I right?

Agreed. It could be worse

Good job Nate!

Nate should’ve said: If I TOTALLY crown Randy w/this snowball, I’ll: a)ace every quiz Godfrey lays on me for the rest of BOTH our lives,b)be asked to the Sadie Hawkins Dance by every pretty girl in the school, and c)get a dog EVERY Christmas!!

I think that he was talking about the skin color. There’s not an unusual amount of the color white in the comic, seeing as they used to be black and white only. I don’t understand how this comic is “white” though.

I wonder if we’re all going to do that thing where we comment as much as we can on New Year’s Eve, like we did last year…

Good Job Nate. :)

Great strip. This strip focuses in Nate helping, but in my opinion should focus more on Teddy NOT helping LOL

The only reason people don’t like Nate sometimes is because in general he is selfish and clueless. But in reality, he really wants to help people.

This is the good side of Nate.

Francine ????

Everyone sign this

Is thatRandy?

Hah! Take that, Randy!

Randy?

saved by your best friend

What was Teddy doing?

Why does Teddy just stand there?

That was good of Nate.

Ha ha, there you go, an actual wholesome moment between them! So rare, but I’ll take it!
