Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for September 11, 2023

I give my condolences to everyone affected by the events that took place 22 years ago. May everyone who lost their lives to that tragedy rest in peace. I can’t imagine the pain of the people who lost close ones to this catastrophic tragedy. I believe that this is the worst event in recent human history. The reasons for my belief are that the people in the building must’ve suffered greatly before collapse, how much stricter foreign travel became, and how many people died.

First off, imagine a plane hitting your office. Your natural reaction is to panic, right? Not to mention that there were huge fires before the building collapsed. People might’ve been paralyzed by pain in the building. These people deserved none of this! Onto my next reason.

Secondly, travel became much stricter after the events. Take for example Home Alone 2, where Kevin boards the wrong plane. This would never happen nowadays, as mentioned previously, flight laws have become much more strict.

Finally, there were huge amounts of people who died. The death toll was at three THOUSAND people! And not to mention countless more who were affected. I extend my deepest condolences if you were one of the people who lost someone to those monsters who thought they’d play flappy bird in real life.

In conclusion, the event was nothing short of a complete disaster. May those who died rest in peace.

Surprised he didn’t get detention

Never Forget

Very throwback and seemingly standalone strip. Was expecting an arc but I guess Peirce wanted to go for an old reliable joke.

6\10, nothing special, okay gag.

Mrs. Godfrey being her usual self. Also never forget.

She needs to find a new hairdresser. Horizontal highlights. Not gonna catch on.

Hope you have a good Patriot’s Day.

It’s true, you’ve seen what Nate’s done to cars

Okay, this was actually low-key pretty funny.

Strip rating: 10/10 It’s been a while since we’ve seen Nate getting sent to the principal’s office.

Also, today would NOT be a good day to sing 22 by Taylor Swift.

Well, he’s not wrong.

8th grade science assigned seats boy-girl-boy-girl in hopes to reduce conversation. After a couple weeks, I got reassigned.

Seriously, you put a teen boy between two attractive girls and you expect him not to flirt?

why not there?

Bruh Nate don’t say that straight to mrs Godfrey

Why does Nate call himself a scorpio when his birthday is Jan 7th (1st ever strip published)

Nate did not deserve a detention for that. Also #neverforget (even if I wasn’t born yet).

“I can hear you! The rest of the world hears you” – George W. Bush, 2001

Everybody should pay tribute to the men/women/children lost in 9/11 today. Even if they were normal people, they didn’t deserve to go like that. May God rest every single one of the people killed in 9/11. Amen.

lol this is funny i like it 4/5 and its a new idea that i dont think peirce has done before

And on Day One Nate goes to the Principals Office. How much detention does he have carried over from the previous School year ?

New year, same old stupid Nate.

Kinda harsh.

Hey there, folks!

So, we’re here today to remember the Twin Towers event. Now, I’m not usually the sentimental type, but this is one of those moments when we gotta pause and pay our respects to the people who lost their lives on that fateful day, September 11, 2001.

You know, those Twin Towers in New York City were like the giants of the skyline. They were more famous than any celebrity or superhero. They stood tall and proud, symbolizing the strength of our nation. But on that day, they came crashing down because of some evil people who wanted to spread hate and fear.

We can’t forget the nearly 3,000 innocent people who lost their lives in those attacks. They were just regular folks, going about their day, chasing their dreams. Families were torn apart, and it’s something we can never fully heal from.

But you know what? Even in the darkest times, there’s a glimmer of hope. We saw it on 9/11. The heroes who rushed into those burning buildings to save others, the brave passengers on Flight 93 who fought back – they showed us the true meaning of courage and unity.

Yeah, we were hurt, but we didn’t let fear divide us. We stood together, shoulder to shoulder, as one nation. We showed that love and compassion are way stronger than hate.

As we remember the Twin Towers event, let’s also remember that it’s on us to keep spreading kindness, empathy, and understanding in this world. We’ve got to honor the memory of those we lost by making this world a better place.

So, here’s to the Twin Towers, to the heroes, and to all those who were affected by that tragic day. We’ll keep their memories alive by being better, doing better, and standing together, stronger than ever.

Shouldn’t there be a remembrance strip today? We got one with the sandcastles a few years back…

At least is kinda nice to see how much she believes in his ability.

Saying the quiet part out loud.

Way to go, bud.

A little early for a visit to the principal…..

Again, Nate’s massive ego got in the way of school. that’s like, the 10th time his ego has gotten him in trouble. But this is funny because, who else would get in trouble because of this? 10/10. really good.

7/10, a good laugh! But today we honor those in the tragedy of 9/11. RIP;(

Nate tends to be very, very stupid.

watch your mouth pal

This joke is overused.

….gonna be another LOOOOONNNNGGG school year……

Why was Nate sent to the principal’s office? All he said was he could do something, but didn’t actually do anything bad.

I think the second panel is what got Nate a principal’s visit.
