Nate: why is it so unbelievable that I'd break up with Trudy? Francis: It just seems more likely that she'd dump you! Francis: I mean, she's a seventh grader, she's pretty, she's smart! And you're... Francis: You're... Um... Francis: Actually, what's unbelievable is that she was going out with you in the first place! Teddy: heard that! Nate: *SIGH*

It is technically true though. And Nate ought to find some time to talk things over with Trudy if he was smart.

I hope Nate tells them why he broke up with her so they feel horrible. With friends like these…

There’s a fine line between playful teasing between friends and just being overly mean-spirited when it’s completely uncalled for, and Francis and Teddy have crossed it.
And to think that Nate dumped his own girlfriend for them.

Their reaction doesn’t surprise me, after all look at Nate’s track record. He likes to do things that make him the punch line to a lot of jokes. I’m not saying that’s a bad thing but it doesn’t make it easy to take him seriously when they should.

Nate, tell Francis and Teddy how you broke up with Trudy to spend time with them. That’ll shut them up. :)

LOVE the background in the second panel! Overall, the backgrounds of the Big Nate comic strips and novels are all pretty interesting.

If Nate was back, he would think of a clever shot back XD

“I miss my friends and if you’d get to know them, you’d see why.” Very clear to me now, 10/10 gr8 friends

That crossed the line between “playful teasing” and “evil torture”. (Okay, I was exaggerating, but SERIOUSLY!!)

Come on, he’s had three great girlfriend before this. They were all described as “pretty”, “smart”, and “out of his league”. And yet, they liked him. It’s not unbelievable at all, Francis

This is one of my least favourite weeks in Big Nate, the level of disrespect Francis and Teddy show to an emotionally saddened and heartbroken Nate is extremely hard to read
