Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for July 07, 2011

all coach john does is yell and do thing to hurt people.

I don’t think Coach John is very clever. :)

He used the name"little Johnny"…so is Coach John simply using a hypothetical example, or is he recalling a soul-scarring childhood trauma? :)

keep your paws off my cheeze doodles lol!

good point, Teddy

But there are various Cheese Puffs under different names all over.

Actually, jumping in to fish Little Johnny out is the last thing you should do as a lifesaver. That puts the rescuer at a much greater risk of becoming another victim. Remember this: Reach, Throw, Row, and Go.Reach – First you try to reach out to the victim, using a pole, broom, ladder (one that floats, of course!), or whatever else may be handy. Throw – If that isn’t an option, the next thing is to throw a rope to them, ideally one that has something tied to the end that floats and that the victim can hold onto. Row – The third method is to go after the victim with a boat or raft. Go – Only if none of those options are available should the rescuer get in the water with the victim. Even then, you want, if possible, to have something besides yourself for the victim to grab and hold onto: a swim float, a life ring, a rescue tube; even an empty milk jug will help.Reach, Throw, Row, and Go – That’s what Coach needs to be teaching. As for cheezy puffs . . . no comment!

Lincoln, seriously, have you been watching me swim at the local pool? Coach John is my doppelganger; aside from his luxurious brown hair.

Coach John has a point there Nate. But Nate has never been in a party in a very long time. Which included Megan’s Make out party which he wasn’t invited because he couldn’t get a girl to come with him. That really broke my heart there.

I’m from IL and I never knew Cheez Doodles existed… we have Cheetos though.. :-)

Not on Long Island.

From AL and don’t recall seeing a bag of Cheez Doodles, but there is a Cheetos Puffs variant. My kids love them entirely too much.

You mean you microwave a bag of cheetos or something?Or are hot cheetos a special kind of cheetos.By the way there will be a new comic on my website sometime tomorrow.

thats why

They’re usually US food.

Cheetos, Cheese Puffs…I don’t think I’ve seen Cheez Doodles here in Illinois. We usually get the generic brands of these things anyway so they could be around here in some stores and just escaped my notice. I’ve had at least one Coach John as a gym teacher. I hated gym!

amen nate amen

It is an honor mr.perice I live in New York and I eat and love cheese doodles

Coach John has insulted Nate’s favourite food. How dare he.
