Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for October 05, 2023

Bro thats cruel. But effective.

YES!!! Stop the unstoppable!

This Ashley fellow looks like an adult. How many years has he been held back to still be in middle school soccer?

Though I guess I shouldn’t be surprised, considering Chester exists

Something about Teddy’s pose is too funny XD love how smug he is. Take that dude down! Plus, great visual comedy again!

8\10!

Go Bobcats!

amazing cartooning, as always

Ashley looks like an adult

Lol priceless

I sense that Labeef is about to leave the game on account of injuries to his privates.

Yes, I would think Ashley way too big to still be playing middle school soccer, but this IS a comic strip…I get that…funny, this arc, also! (Daphne on sidelines, talking with Nate!)

Hey coach, your star needs some earplugs

Should just go full brexit tackle.

Cruel, but definitely Ashley deserves it xd

It’s nice to see someone other than Nate get the spotlight.

It’s like the kuddle kittens!

That’s So awesome

bro i wonder if he will get a red card.

Dental work is in Teddy’s future. A lot of people were able to tell me their pet peeves yesterday in that poll, but, I couldn’t help but think something. With today’s strip, Ashley almost reacts scaredly! Isn’t that weird to think, Ashley is scared of Teddy, almost!

Poll: What would make you miss the ball that bad?

I thought that was a coach!

Not even gonna lie I find it kind of cool Teddy has a main position for this arc

He looks like a teenager, just based on his size.

I mean, I also have a sensitivity to certain sounds, so it’s not very uncommon. It’s just interesting how much it throws this Ashley guy’s rhythm off.

Current Rating: 6.75/10. I feel good about the way this arc is going.

Did his cleat split in two?

wait they have mouth guards in soccer? or is it just a men’s thingy

I think his cleat split in too.

weaknessssss

Everyone has some weakness.In sports, it’s most definitely proper to exploit it to your advantage…..

Teddy has unlocked ultimate power, this is great!

Or it least it will be until Ashley complains to the ref and Teddy is forced to change his mouthguard… hope not tho

The mouth-piece that roared.

It was ok at first, and its even better now!

Been a while since a comic been about Teddy nice change of pace

…Teddy found "the MACHINE’S Achilles Heel…….er, ears!!

Teddy, you got mouthguard skills! Ha!

Ashley Labeef suffers from Misophonia.

Teddy: Everybody!! Let’s Take Ashley DOOOWWWN!!!

Ashley: NO NO NO DON’T YOU DARE-

Every player except Ashley: (chews on their mouth guards) SKWONK SKRONK KRONK SKWONK SKRONK SKWONK SKNK SKRONK KRONK SKNK

Ashley: AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-

Bet a foul will be called and some random rule from the rulebook will be pulled. Teddy will either gets benched or his mouth guard gets removed (somehow)

Well, if the referee doesn’t find it unfair Teddy can continue.

I love this! David stops Goliath with a mouth guard!

LaBeef. Snicker.

Is that legal?

Thank God Lucy never knew this trick.

I love this arc so far! This one actually made me laugh! (i usually just chuckle)

Something like this happened in The Original Big Nate Series but we’ll never know if it was Intended…(Hint: Book #2)

yikes….

Teddys face on panel 3, never seen it on teddy before

So mean! And so funny!!

8/10, Ashley’s getting weaker! But what if the ref sabotages their possible win by banning the chewing of the mouth guard? Then maybe Nate would have to save the game!

god teddy’s face

Brains over Brawn!

I’ve never ever heard anyone say “gah”. How come it’s a regular in comic strips?
