Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for April 17, 2024

Stingrays will be a good matchup for them

Decided by who?

Oh shut up Nate! He is getting annoying!

Well the sting is working. Look at Nate in the last panel! Priceless!

Poll: is jelly fish a good name

Barcalona lost 4-1 ): ):

I’m sure panel 5 would include a different kind of smack

It’s a smack in the face for Nate, that’s what it is

At this rate, Nate will “jellyfish” Francis.

American English seems to have countless words for groups of animals.

Is Nate allowed to talk smack, then?

They should compromise “The Portuguese Man o’ Wars”…. or should that be “The Portuguese Men o’ War”???

Put a smack of jelly on your toast. It’ll sting!

Joe’s Pet Store Smackers.

I would not want to be smack dab in the middle of a smack. Don’t make me smack you.

Right idea, wrong facts Francis.

Are jellyfish disappointed that peanut butter fish don’t exist? Yes, they’re in a jam about it.

??? I’ve never heard anyone call anyone a jellyfish before. I understood it with Joe’s Chicken, but I don’t with this one.

I became a much better waterskier, during the summer that we had a huge jellyfish population. No one wants to fall, when there are hundreds of jellyfish around.

Throwback to January 6, 2008

For the record, when I think of jellyfish, I think of the animal that stings, not Nate’s definition.

….and a sting of a jellyfish is called: “OWWWW!! Rackin’-frackin’ blankety-blank @#$%^^&!!”

Another fact is that a box jellyfish is one of the most deadly animals

Each box jellyfish carries enough venom to kill more than 60 humans. A single sting to a human will cause necrosis of the skin, excruciating pain and, if the dose of venom is large enough, cardiac arrest and death within minutes.

The Smack of the bat

Jellyfish kill about 100 people a year.

Sharks kill only about 4-5.

Now you’re talking smack! XD

Jellyfish are incredibly dangerous and could kill countless people. Nate should just think about that. But he has to be so pessimistic. This is why nobody likes you NATE WRIGHT

this arc is just boring 3/9

OK, I’m done defending Nate anymore

nate, why dont you give francis a “smack”

There is some potential in the name, assuming they win some games……

5/10 i feel like the whole weeks arc is just gonna be nate complaining about the name please my volleyball team was called big macs

I mean, that heals nature.

Question: why is it that every premium member follows like a hundred comics? Just wondering.

Excellent marketing potential with “Jellyfish.”

Meaning as usual, the opposing teams will talk smack about them.

Finally a name that sound a little bit cool

How does Francis just whip out a book of facts from nowhere??? 6/10 Suggestion: Actually change the part where their not complaining, have them play a game or something the panels of complaining has been going too long

Why are Nate’s teeth like that in panel 4?

Ha! Beats the Battered Shrimps.

Nate, take the name or you’ll end up being the “cods.”

If you have a check next to your name, your a Rater for comics

ive been stung by a jellyfish! it sucks! maybe they’ll be a strong team after all, but dang that name’s gotta… sting

Now they can say that they’ll lay the SMACKdown on other teams

Bro Francis always got that backup plan with the book but how does Francis fit that book, like bro got them big Jeens on. 7.1/10

Bro I kinda just wanna see if the teams will make fun of them. and I just wanna see if they don’t go like 0-20

(Another rate) I kinda just wanna see a game only because I’ve seen like the same thing like for the past 3 to 4 days. (New Rate) 5.3/10

ok this is boring. Overall Rating: 4/10(is anyone here a GSW fan cuz if you are I feel you pain brother, i’m a fan as well)

Ok so they will be good at talking smack.

Don’t forget the Portuguese-Man-of-War. A floating bag of many poisonous jellyfish. Not always deadly (it can be if you get stung in the chest area or are allergic), but very powerful and very dangerous.

The gloves can “smack” a ball, and i’ll “sting” Nate if he doesn’t shut up

Nate: “I’m gonna smack that book across your face”

6/10, SMACK em, Jellyfish! That sounds good!

Smack the other team then.

Even though this gag is repeated, it still makes me laugh every time!

this is gonna be one of those where the other team is named “soft serve” or something like that

Now, if they were called the “Stingrays…”

as a real madrid fan, this was a great day. BARCA LOSS< and us winnign
