Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for July 29, 2023

So is nate stronger than teddy?

Something is better than nothing

Just be grateful, Nate, for both the dollar and not having to do push-ups and wind sprints in the mall.

Yeah, no surprise there, John.

5\10, very average joke. Arc was quite by the numbers. Don’t get me wrong, some solid jokes, especially Wednesday and Friday, but idk… it’s a good break from Daphne, but this could have been way funnier or more interesting. Like Peirce had maybe one idea but no actual further oomph. I mean, no real drama (Nate and Teddy did the right thing immediately), John didn’t apparently see Nate try and see how much he has, Dad barely got angry. Just kinda low energy. Hope next week is better!

Coach John’s face in the second panel. He definitely didn’t want to give them the money lol

You work on your gut Coach or that cash is gonna pay for your funeral.

Way to encourage them to do the right thing next time. A whole buck. I guess they could split a little candy bar. But next time they will think twice before doing the right thing.

Better than nothing.

There are a number of us here, I think, that could remember when a dollar was actually a decent reward.

A dollar ? Dang I’d steal his wallet back. What a dang cheapskate

Best to learn the firm handshake thing early in life. A buck as a reward is still pretty cheap though…..

A single dollar? You might as well just do away with the cash reward!

Strip rating: 2/10 Sorry, but I find this comic to be pretty boring. This whole arc was boring, too.

…and Teddy don’t get a dollar, too?…….

This is the nicest Coach John has ever been. I am actually very impressed.

Don’t spend it all in one place.

Does Coach John have a drinking problem or a sinus problem to account for the red nose?

Maybe because Coach John made it limp.

Only a dollar?

coach john is irritated that he gave them some money

Two self centred, unaware egotists in the one strip!

Hey a dollar is a dollar put that fella in the stoncks
