Big Nate by Lincoln Peirce for February 02, 2012
Transcript:
The day's almost over, Nate! Any detentions yet? It doesn't matter anymore, Francis! Mrs. Godfrey just declared our bet null and void! So even if I do get detention, I don't have to be Gina's personal servant! Not only that, Mrs. Godfrey actually told Gina she was disappointed in her! Wow! Shut up. This is the happiest day of my life!

Like the phrase goes: you win some, you lose some. And yet, Nate still feels like a winner and Gina a loser.

Nice resolution. I just didn’t see Lincoln letting Nate fall victim to Gina’s plans for a Reign of Terror. He has never hesitated to pop Nate’s balloon whenever his hubris gets out of control but making Nate Gina’s beyotch? Not going to happen.

Darn shame. I was hoping to see Gina shut Nate up for a week.

Now Nate is going hang this over Gina’s head.

It ain’t over until the fat lady sings. Remember, Francis said “the day’s ALMOST over.” There may be one final twist to this saga!

Hey!! At the very end of today’s panels, Nate is looking dead-on at us! Can’t say we see that much!! THAT’S the shot Nate always hopes Picture Taking Guy will get, but NEVER does!! Yes, maybe a harbinger of things to come, still difficult to accurately “call” this one: wonder how many people out there have “bets” going, I read something yesterday about a nickel being on. Haw! HAW!!

But like somebody said…Francis said the day’s ALMOST over. And we’ve still got a couple strips left for the week. There’s still room for a twist. LOL So I say don’t get too cocky just yet, Nate!

This reminds me when Nate got a better score then Gina , which was a mistake, Gina told on him and got detention. Nate said it was the happiest day of life.

So when are Nate and Gina getting married?
OldestandWisest over 12 years ago
Why are swarms of gnats coming out of Nate’s ear in the second panel?
TArbiter over 12 years ago
Whether Nate blows it and gets detention or not, the shot of Gina in P3 with that flush of embarrassment on her face, and those fists clenched at her side, is priceless! Maybe she’ll cold-cock Francis and get a detention for that, haha.
Great storyline, Lincoln.

Potrzebie over 12 years ago
A Sopranos style ending would have worked better.

Yea Nate wins one.

What can I say, Nate – good for you. Mr. Pierce – your moral right is preserved – and thank you for a good storyline. I hope Nate learns a lesson, here – if you exercise good behaviour, then life does get easier. As for Gina, she’s just gotta learn to be a nicer person and shelve that contempt she has for everyone else.

For once, why don’t you, Gina?
GasHouseGorilla over 12 years ago
Mr. Peirce, I really enjoyed this story! I even like Gina’s face in the final panel (I think she needs a little more red!). Anyway, I’m surprised Gina didn’t get suspended. Nate & Gina are my favorite characters in this strip is because they are 2 complete opposites of each. I like to see both of these characters as friends just like Nate told that Arthur (I think that’s his name.) after the bully pushed Artur (I think that’s his name).
Nate seems like doesn’t care a hill of beans about class (Which was like me when I was his age!), and Gina wants to press herself as being the best because I guess her older brothers turned out to be jocks that didn’t do well in high school or college (Heck, even her Grandfather seems to enjoy robbing the cradle!). And besides, I guess Gina knows how expensive to get into college these days and Gina must be one sad and lonely girl. I knew girls like her in high school.Finally, if this comic strips into a format like “For Better or worse” or “Gasoline Alley”, I think it would be a riot seeing Nate and Gina going out on a date when those hormones really start kicking in at the age of 15-18.
Thank you for your time and forgive me for the long comment.

If you haven’t noticed, Mrs. Godfrey declared the bet null and void, so even if he does get detention, he still wins.
Jkiss over 12 years ago
Excellent work Big Nate!!!! Yay Nate, I guess nothing could spoil this day????
NightHawk2005 over 12 years ago
Because Nate and Gina belong together. If this strip ever went forward in time, Nate would realize Gina is the one for him.

Gina is such a jerk, and she 100% deserved this. Ironic, felled by the very 100’s she so desperately strives for.
